Congrats Mig! Awesome.

On a recent visit to my family I uncovered some of the old 8mm films my Dad and I had taken from when I was a kid. There was a slalom series in Peidmont Park in Atlanta, which at the time was about 120 miles north of where my family lived. We went to big city to race, where I did pretty well as I wo...

Thanks for posting up on this. Eric has attended Red Clay, and other events in GA, so I'm glad to see he's still in it. I can't make Feb. 7, but I hope it goes well.

I'll take the Fat AXE if you still have it. I'll email you and you can let me know. No need to ship, I'll just pick it up next time I see you. Marty loves his, and I'm still riding the "Svelte" AXE, so it would be nice to give it a try.

Great to hear Mig! I'm doing my best to keep my back healthy and hope to be in good form in October. It will be great to see you again.

WT - Excellent find by Thomas! When are we going to have a session? We all need to get together. Thomas has been nice enough to come down to GA a couple times to race, I owe him a return trip.

Scott - This deck doesn't come in different stiffnesses. I'm a 230lb'er myself, and at that weight this board has a lot of flex. Just depends on if you want or like that, I went with a stiffer board for the little longboard riding I do. For me it was too flexy, otherwise, I'd still be riding it. Ron

Pretty near perfect condition. $65 shipped to ConUS.

Vlad - Back at the Shamrock Slalom in Georgia over a year ago, a trackmate, equine and chronocone were run all at the same time. All I can really recall is that the times were not distinguishable between the 3 systems on that day. Given, the start and finish lines were not exactly the same (beams vs...

Saturday June 9th was the Second Georgia Outlaw race. For the second race, we focused on a difficult tight slalom course. There weren't many clean runs, I think Keith had the only one all day. We had great weather, although it was getting hot, and traction became an issue with the heat. The course w...

Congrats Noah!

I've got a couple of those myself, just a bit older models (1988 and 1990 editions). Have a blast!

RonO

Ron Olsen

Martin,

Depending on your needs, have a look at the Equine timer:

Wireless, everything you need, but a bit expensive. I have an older model than he sells now, it works well. PM me if you have questions.

RonO

Ron Olsen

Yeah, what Wesley said, and with Splitfire unavailable at present, I'm sure Sk8kings was looking for an alternative rear truck to offer. From what I've seen the Airflow is most like the Splitfire R1 - the tracker based baseplate model. Also, as noted several times on forums - unless they have change...

Pardon the pun... Marty looked good on his first day back. He's been out of service since November of '06 due to reconstructive surgery on his shoulder. As this sequence shows, his shoulder looks good after surgery. http://i15.tinypic.com/29moqbs.jpg http://i19.tinypic.com/4cnge3s.jpg http://i16.tin...

With GA. Tom unable to put on the Shamrock this year, I'm going to put on a replacement event at Suwanee. This will be the same low key event like we did in Dublin. There is a bit more of a hill in Suwanee than Dublin, and I'll set you a fast challenging course. Saturday Jan. 20, 2007. 10am start ti...

Jon, You are not an idiot! Slalom boards require a lot more tuning than my regular riders (longboard and park), not to say that they don't benefit from some of the tuning. As to your board: Bahne Blackhill - This is a fine entry board, but Consider options such as the Sk8kings AXE series, Pocket Pis...

Ron Olsen

Seb,

I've got an 88 RTX on my AXE 1 that I got from Sk8kings, which was modified by Pocket Pistols. I actually space mine to 98 with a 5mm spacer on each side. It works great for me at 98, I've never tried it at 88, as I get more turn than I need as it is.

RonO

Ron Olsen

SOS!!!

Barring some big dealbreaker, I'm in.

Folks, this is a great venue, Ricky Byrd start ramps, and safe hill, no cars, a great easy runout.

Let's see if 100 will fit that hill!

Ron

And to add to the original topic - John Karg has a speed gun, he used it on me at Red Clay where I was 26mph off the last offset. Not sure how accurate those are, but it's another option.

RonO

Ron Olsen

I see on the trackmate site that the new trackmate timer will do MPH calculations for you and displays it on the screen. They show a video of a RC car going 120 MPH (actual!). The speed trap was about 3 feet apart.

I've had a few requests for the videos I've posted at youtube from both the Dixie Cup and Encinitas races in DVD format. If you would like a copy, I'm going to ask $6 a copy. Why only 6 bucks?

Welcome Dave!

I was in the same shoes as you going on 2 years ago. I think I registered and read this site for close to a year before I finally came forward and met with the other slalom riders in Georgia. Oh, and I just turned 44!

Awesome fun in the sun. Mark and Brad both impressed me by hanging on through those giant turns. Turns out GS is Mark's thing... Way to go Mark, and Way to go Brad.

Myself, Tony Hall, and possibly Mark Kovachi I know of so far. Marty, Ga. Tom and WT will be in Statesville on Court Street that day.
