Bravo Henry! I think you have captured the way I would like to look at slalom skateboarding. Yes, this is a "internet" site and with it goes racing slalom skateboarding, focused, intense, all that, weird no doubt but fun, it's a way to "spread the word." You have spread some great words here on a go...

Adam Trahan

Mr.Cayer, (Tim)

Is it possible to give us a few words on your organization and it's relationship with slalom skateboarding?

There is the Front Royal Race coming up at the end of November and slalom skateboarding is in the roster...

Thanks for your time.

Just curious... I am operating on the premise that the ISSA could wake up from it's nap in the future. The USSSF is obviously a "USA" organization and I am curious if there will be, or is there thought, or ??? in relation to being a chapter/country representative of the ISSA? It is of my opinion tha...

You are welcome Jack. I took a look at the link, the Bahne web site, it looks great. I enjoy the look at the past, the Skateboarder advertisements. I see you have a few association "links" on your front page, thanks for mentioning http://www.SlalomSkateboarder.com I've also moved Curt Kimble's post ...

Glenn, nice job! I'm with Hans, it doesn't mean it's right, but from the bottom to the top, it's a bit easier to digest for me. EXCEL is a good format as well. Although I am EXCEL challenged, many aren't. This is a good program that can do way more than plot a course and I would hope that more cours...

Yes, I bought the kids, "Kelly Slater Pro Surfer" and I play this one myself. We have a large screen and it is fun to pull in backdoor tubes, balance, then slash out on the face of the wave. Great graphics, the wave looks good. Yes, very turny, I like the feel. BTW, kudo's for the music on this one....

Does anyone here know Tony Hawk? I think it would be a good idea for the video game if they had a slalom skateboarding segment. I've asked anyone who has the game if they thought that would be a cool feature, all say "YES" When I was a confused young person skateboarding Del Mar Skate Ranch, I calle...

No worries Joe.

I'll take over as cone guy for you any time you want to take a pee break! I'm not proud.

I enjoyed meeting you at Avilla/Morro.

Good luck and best regards.

Adam Trahan

Thanks for explaining your idea better detail Joe.

Jani, in regards to the Morro Bay competition, I am currently working on a story that includes some site history and observations from my aspect. The way the story is coming along may help those who are thinking about racing...

Thank you Vlad. I do appreciate your participation. No, you are not too late. Yes, your enthusiasm is how I get paid. I feel like I just got an increase in salary.

Banner? Personally, I am going to keep banners off the site as well as advertising so to speak. Actually, there is a registration page which details the process.

...ugh.

Jack, the post was not meant to be pointed at you. It's a post to bring about the reality of give give give, that's it.

I have no complaints, only accolades for FCR.

"I do get weary of racers telling me what racers need. Please remember I was a racer once also."

I found this quote at http://www.slalomskateboarder.com It was posted by an individual who has done a lot for the sport of slalom skateboarding. Obviously is/was written under duress.

Adam Trahan

Very nice story about our subject. Thanks for posting the link, weather (pun intended) we host your story or not makes no difference. I appreciate the link, no doubt. I like riding and reading about slalom skateboarding and your story is VERY palatable in regards to the weather and racing. Be glad t...

Rene,

I really want to hear what you have to say. With all due respect, try the "New Topic" or "Reply" button at the top or bottom of the page. I had trouble with this in the beggining, so do a lot of people.

Thanks for visiting, I really appreciate what you and your family do for the sport.

I read somewhere that the FCR Organization has "medals" for some of the contestants. I guess that some of you haven't received yours and they are looking to present them.

If you are interested, I guess the best way is to contact the FCR officials through their web site.

No, I am not tired of reading about the USSF. I am interested in ANY organization that will forward the sport.

Stefan "Lillis" who is a champion freestyle skateboarder and Jani Soderhal (both at PC PAL) are designing Slalom! It is simply an idea come to fruition, one from many, made possible by a few. Please, I maybe at the helm of this project, but it is the community who is to thank, we are only making a f...

Adam Trahan

For those of you who are interested, the team at PC Pal have finished the design of Slalom! [online] and here is the link: Slalom!

The site is a work in progress, a mirror of what exists in the world of slalom skateboarding.

Please post a "Reply" and let us know what you think.

Hey Gary, Thanks for the input. Do you have the knee and elbow pads as well? I am interested in your experience with the PD's as I am in the process of ordering a new set.

Does anyone actually use these trucks anymore? I've seen a couple days of racing by international competitors and I don't remember seeing one set of Gullwing wether it was the Split, Phoenix or the newest edition.

Is there anyone out there using them?

What do you think?

Ok, you have purchased your PVD GERT's and have ridden them.

How do you like them and what are the advantages of purchasing this truck vs a steering system like a Seismic or a TTC?

Adam Trahan

Wow, I need a new set of knee pads as I am using my old Rectors from the early 90's. They are BIG and bulky but do a great job. But for slalom skateboarding, I think a better application would be a little less bulky pad. A pad designed for falling sliding from street level instead of bailing from th...
