Thanks for all the inquiries.

I have three trucks for sale in Columbia, South Carolina - one CZ adjustable rear truck and two Airflow offset rear trucks. None have been set up or ridden. Bought them from Sk8kings and they've gathered dust long enough. http://bellsouthpwp2.net/o/g/ogserv13/OGS/CZTruck.jpg (1) CZ truck (one availa...

For those of you who may not have heard, Mrs. Carrasco passed away this morning. Those of you who know Richy, Maria, Rene, David and the Carrasco family know what a very trying time this is for them.

I do not know any details but will pass any along as they are announced.

I just read where my home town of Summerville is finally getting a skate park. It's going to be constructed on some really useless land bounded by the football stadium parking lot and a four-lane freeway. Of course, some people who live two blocks away up the street are protesting it. They don't wan...

Wesley Tucker

The weather was hot and the whores were murder.
Or is that the other way around?
I never can keep that straight.

Wesley Tucker

A slight edit to the topic title to differentiate it better from the call for monthly sponsors.

Wesley Tucker

I took it upon myself to change the name of this topic.

With both the call for monthly sponsors and banner ad sponsors it was difficult to tell which was which.

Wesley Tucker

That is correct.

Wesley Tucker

I'll take January for Marion Karr's 5,000 Miles For Hind's Feet Farm.

(I'll get the wording straightened out and all the particulars immediately.)

Wesley Tucker

Nick, What I've found is the most likely way to do that without buying a lot of special tools is find the smallest tiniest drillbit you can and use it to make a series of shallow holes in a straight line across the broken face. Make sure the holes are overlapping. That makes a groove you drop a smal...

After a bit of a hiatus, it looks as though Gareth is doing something. The website is being updated and Roe was a sponsor for the U.S. Nationals.

Wesley Tucker

Another problem that's overlooked with skateboard slalom racing in wet conditions. I would say probably 90% if not more of all races uses TrakMate and tape switches for timing. There is no adequate tape solution for keeping tapes on the deck with wet asphalt or concrete. Also, even infrared systems ...

I think those are green.

Just saw where Indy is re-issuing the 109mm.
Chicken ceased Chindy production when 109s were no longer available.

Maybe if he gets enough POSITIVE input he might crank out a few?

Print out two pages, turn them over, print them again, fold in half is a nightmare?

Well, it's been a while since the new Flyaways were re-issued. Simple question: Has anyone suffered a really good bash with one of these helmets and how did it perform? All the good looks and nostalgia in the world don't mean a thing if it doesn't do the deed as advertised. I am in the market for a ...

That is such a great hill with a neat runout . . . if you can get to it!

Not to hijack your thread, Petr, but this is absolutely totally weird.

Brno is actually in the news over here today:

Every one calm down. It's already dealt with.

It looks like the NBA season will be canceled.

An excellent opportunity for slalom skateboarding to slide right in there and get all that Nike and Budweiser money!

As of last Thursday the Dixie Cup did NOT have a sanction. They were looking for a Prime. I do not know if they got it or what happened. I know JBH (a North American Marshall) attended the event but if anything has transpired since last week I do not know. If you notice the Dixie Cup as of today is ...

Wesley Tucker

When I got mine I went ahead and sprang for two timers and four beacons. That allows quick and easy dual racing although there is no common start. Sort of like the old days with the Trak Mate. I went to Lowe's and got a short roll of Velcro tape and cut several pieces. Using half I put the tape on s...

Wesley Tucker

The only way this packaged timer will work for slalom skateboard racing is to buy TWO. This set up is for lap timing. Only need one course beacon. Slalom requires two beacons, one at the top and one at the bottom of the course.

In case you're one of the three skaters who missed this on YouTube, this is the Akron hill from 1978: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHQBHBGP3ps This skatecar race was held the same weekend as the slalom race. It doesn't appear as though anyone has uploaded the cone racing but this is still a good l...

Wesley Tucker

Ron, I applaud your efforts. I only have one question and it's not a deal breaker but still something I've wondered about with using Akron as a race site. ALL of our races to date have been promoted and managed locally by local people operating local races. As such the needed support comes from peop...

Well, I think Debbie has worked out the kinks. I got one this month of the new run and I cannot find a fault with it. Looks great and performs better than I ever expected. I never owned a Leemo but rode a couple back in '02 and '03. I know 8 or 9 years is a long time but from what I remember the per...

Wesley Tucker

Tom, That spot is lost. The developer of the business park came in and built a road off the cul-de-sac at the top of the hill. It allows through traffic to the back of a building next to the spot. So there probably won't be another race here until maybe that business (whatever it is) goes out of bus...

Ron,

Serious question: did your results get reported as "Ron Barbagallo" or "Fatboy?"

Might be Hans hasn't put the two together.

If anyone is interested FibreFlex has SuperCarves once again in stock. Although the style is a little different, the shape is the same as the Leemo. I never saw it but there were some complaints the first run had boards that de-lammed but Debbie assures me this is corrected in this new batch. Anyway...

I don't understand how the pros running first will stop an open skater from poaching the course later?

Or how the pros running first will stop a pro from poaching the course during the pro eliminations?

Wesley Tucker

Thanks for the thoughts - We did OK in Antrim, some power outages and high water, but mostly just branches and junk in the road. South of here on the coast, they got some of the heavy stuff. I hope everyone's alright down there. TK had the best commentary on his Facebook update: "The Frisbee that w...

Y'all should keep the northeast crew in your thoughts today. Looking at the track it appears Fatboy, Scooter, Noah, Tway, Joe I, ur13 and many others are going to take a big hit today. I'll be surprised if we hear from any of them for a while because electricity will be gone by the end of the day. F...
