Oh yes Sam. those were the days. Just us lot and the Benjy team, neither ever competed together as we didnt ride vert, and they didnt do slalom. It was quite handy as when a skate park opened we all had our own space and everyone got to see slalom, park riding and freestyle done to the highest stand...

Ultimate skate filth?
this is the new porn.
the Lazer is dead,
long live the new Lazer.
pimp me up one more time sam.
I just have to try those on the 4ft offsets

Hi Gareth, I posted a pic of my board on the s-camber ps forum and ohhhh yesss, a cutaway floppy is just what i need for the super english tight

Jim Slater

Yes Gareth, This is a very nice flat land board indeed. From the hester original thru Jani's improvement to this. The grippins do work well on this set up. I am in the middle of coming to terms with the transition between the super tight English courses of the 70's and todays slalom (just as thrilli...

Hans. Many thanks for your respected comments. "If you want the fruit to fall you have to give the tree a shake. but...... If you shake the tree too hard the bows will break" Please excuse my use of the words of a song but we do have motion in the UK, and now you are all listening. there will be new...

Full respect Gentlemen, This will be my 30th year also. I got my 1st skateboard on a whim in a "jumble sale" dunno if you have the same in the US! but it was called a "Chicago Nash sidewalk surfer" with clay wheels. I like to think that I was one of the first this side of the pond. This was no doubt...

Hi world, We clearly have a problem at the moment! Firstly England is only politically part of Europe, PLEASE LET ME FINISH. Physically we are not, all this bull***t about everyone is equal is clearly the problem here. I am not superior to anyone, I am not inferior to anyone, I am just different, DI...

Here is my S-camber Tracker Rtx 106 and grippin 92a front/ Tracker rtx offset and grippin 88a rear http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Boards/RoeRacing/present-Ts-board-1.jpg Rides really well, and is a great TS board "By todays standars but in true english tight I would have to ditch the trachkrs," L...

Hi all, It is a shame that the exchange rate is on the s**ty side at the moment. As with Chris's beauty and the Red monster that I now have (posted elsewhere on this forum), how can I put this into words? It's a heavy price to pay yes, but as I said before, what price perfection? These new materials...

Yes Paul and Ed it will be at HP and CP and Brands this year. It has a 1 and a Half inch camber and doesnt Give under my 250lbs plus. Thanks Chris for the advice but I drilled her myself with a 3mm drill bit and tapped the screws into the deck. They are clamped down deadly tight and the deck hasnt g...

Sorry guys but i neglected to add that this 2 month quote was for a custom weight and colour order!!!!
I dare say that the standard decks have a much faster turn around.
What price perfection?
Jim

Hi again Wesley, This board had already been built and was already in the UK. I cannot speak for production times but it was in my hands 3 days after the money exchanged hands. This board was actually an Xmas present from my Fiancee but she has told me Steve Church said i could have a black bird cus...

Yes Wesley but I see yours is the same width front to rear I will put some better shots on as mine is much wider at the front than the rear by 1 inch. I see yours is the same width all the way or by the pics looks like it. Thats a nice board indeed but it is 100% different to mine mate Will post bet...

This is a 9.5 inch wide 29.5 inch long Custom fullnose hot off the press, ultra stiff I gripped it 70's style as the decals were on the deck when i got it undrilled. and originally made for Tommy Ryan, but was too stiff for him so Steve Church let it go. The first set i am going to try out is RTS/X ...

Thank you Jani
Glenn has e-mailed me and I have sent him the pics for the server
I will place them in a post asap
Once again many thanks for all your supporrt.

Sorry to be a gremlin but how can it be done?
many thanks in advance
Jim

I am now the proud owner of a new custom turner and the build and finish are second to none. Steve Church has pics of the new Monster and I hope he posts them for you guys. I had the first ever cutaway in the UK in 1977 (now owned by Turner Team Rider Chris Linford) and it is an honour to have one a...

Great call Vlad

Skateboard Slalom VS Ski Slalom I used to Ski in the winter months to keep in shape for Skateboarding in the summer. The balance points are different, "feel those knees burning" and when I should have been "planting the pole" to turn I was raising! (On a left turn I was lifting my left arm - as in S...

Thanks michael.
Our UK main man comes up trumps again.
and I was looking forward to bugging you too!

The best distributor always stays a step ahead of his market.

Till he "relents" I meant
PS: please make sure you bug him from your end too

Too right Gareth
I will be demanding one off Michael Stide
and bugging the S**t out of him till he relaets.
Top board there....

Thanks TK, we have a lot of footage and are working on somewhere to post it!
I'll keep you posted as to where etc.

once again thank you.

Firstly, let me say that this is the most informative forum I have ever had the Honour of being part of. I find the UK-US devide in this matter interesting. This is the origin of English slalom and why it evolved as "tight" partly due to terrain and partly due to ignorance on our part. I started sla...
