This is not a problem Rene. Although I believe it is a good name, I will concure with the two of you.

Respect that is earned is good.

Respect that is demanded is not.

Best to you all.

No Maria, no feedback. I am sort of surprised and at the same time, not so suprised. I'de like to get a sticker like the logo above going, a banner for the FCR or any other race out there, a patch for my race wear but nary one single inquiry or offer of assistance outside of yourself and Jani. It's ...

Tag, you are it Neil. It's no big deal, if you don't want me to do this to you, just say "uncle" and I will remove you. I can't think of a better person to do this since it is your fault (idea) I like SSS. Personally, I think that the SSS here would definately be complimentary and if those guys have...

Adam Trahan

Neil, I like your name actually. It is a "standard" so to speak that one can performance measure against. I am going to let this ride a bit an see what sort of interest it gets. Gareth and Michael Dong have set up a course and have said they will post, Vlad has some interest and well, let's see how ...

Adam Trahan

Wow Kim, Thanks for registering and becoming a part of this community. I like the idea of a "standard" that people like us (alone in Arizona) can measure their performance against. Now that the road is clear to go ahead with this idea, we can impliment it into this web site. Yes, this little spot is...

Adam Trahan

John, I dis agree. I think since the competition is Internet based, the name should reflect that. I like the way things look as it stands but this is not for me to decide. In the spirit of who did what. I think Neil should have the honor of making name. Please remember, I am not the final word on th...

Please post your comments on this virtual slalom course challenge.

Hold on please. Try not to make more work for me than is necessary. Let me build the forum first. I want a couple of things before this is going to happen. 1. I want to know what you guys are going to call this FIRST. I need a name for the FORUM and I want to know as much about this as possible. [Pl...

Ok, here is a quick link to the Turner Summer Ski web site.

Questions:

1. Do I have the owner of the idea's permission?

2. Should I do this?

3. Can I get a show of hands?

4. Is there interest?

Adam Trahan

Big news! With this talk of getting back to roots of Turner Summer Ski, I would like to see John Gilmour back on board. I would also like to personally thank Howard Gordon for his contribution. I hope to race HG one day and the wheel knowledge that he brought forward through http://www.turnerdownhil...

Adam Trahan

Yeeess, I know this too.

Matters not. Scott Peer is an AWESOME inline enthusiast. So fast downhill, so smooth.

You and I are not keepers of the cat, it's out of the bag...

Cool vid of inline "style" slalom

Not slalom skateboarding but entertaining.

The http://www.ncdsa.com cyber slalom is just that. I am unable to actually promote it here due to said reasons. Would there be a movement for a http://www.slalomskateboarder.com honor system timed slalom event? I thought adopting the 100 cone challenge would be a good idea. Not quite as quick and e...

I have always enjoyed the French attitude toward living life through *extreme sports. Their participants are enthusiastic about searching out new and ...

Cool, really cool. I wish that I could read the language. It is tough for me to figure out the translation but the pictures speak a thousand words. Man, thanks for the link, looks like a really cool site.

George, we are going to continue to make a good web site. 1. There will be no advertising at http://www.slalomskateboarder.com 2. There will be no editing if I can help it. 3. I will not prohibit any appropriate slalom input or articles. 4. No one is making any money at the site except maybe the peo...

John, I spent about a month in Korea back in 85. The people then were receptive to the American military presence. I often walked far off base into the "real" parts of the cities that I lived in and had no problems at all. I could have easily been overwhelmed as I traveled solo but was welcomed ever...

Cool post Brady. I haven't thought of the pound of feathers and lead analogy. Mass and drag definately come into play, leverage, technique and all. You don't need to go back and check your stuff, I got it. Anyway... I can't speak for anyone except myself, but I would hope that FCR is setting race co...

Adam Trahan

Terence or Peter.

I would like some suggestions for setting up a 36" Pocket Pistol with PVD's. Width, plate angles, bushing, etc.

The truck set up that I had originally thought was my choice, isn't.

Can you help me with this?

Thanks.

Adam Trahan

I stood on the sidelines and watched the inliners drop the hill at the last WLAC event and I really enjoyed watching.

Very smooth.

I have no issues with inline enthusiasts who run cones...

Yes, big thanks to Scott Peer and his organization.

It's all semantics...

Adam Trahan

Yup, I ordered and received mine and I like them. One thing, they do take some time to "break in" but after that, they are bomb proof.

I have a set of light weight Q pads on order and will give a report on these after receiving them.

I was watching old (10-15 year old) video of Keith Hollien and Myself. I came across a 100 cone 6'center to center on a 7 deg. slope. the times were under 25 seconds.

Hey Gary, thanks for taking the time to answer. I don't know if you know, but Europe had a big interest in slalom when America was asleep in between waves. I look at this period as the "second wave" in the set. Jani Soderhall and John Gilmour totally kept my interest alive in Arizona in the mid 90's...

History shows us that our relatively new sport of slalom skateboarding is cyclical in it's numbers of participants. My question(s) to you: #1.

Totally coool. Back in the day, when LaCosta was going off, from my perspective as a Arizona singleton slalomer, Colorado was the hot spot for "Summer Skiing/Racing" Randy Smith was the man, but this is all what the media represented.
