Sorry everyone that I did not get back sooner. But yesterday I got an email offer to buy the truck. Will post back if the deal falls through.

Glenn S

For Sale: RTS Offset with 8mm axles by GeezerX $50 shipped

Glenn S

Sorry I've not checked back in a few days. I had a few people PM me offers the day after my first post but the highest one never got back. So.... Yes, the board is still availiable. At the wheelbase it is at now it had very little flex under my weight. So that is all I can tell you really. But at le...

Glenn S

This deck is still availiable. Best offer anyone?

Glenn S

Eric,
Thanks for the insight.

Glenn S

I find it amazing to see what has come out of slalom skateboarding in the last few years. I would think it benefits skateboarding as a whole. Killer trucks like the TTC, PVD, Radikal (above) , Airflow, Splitfire, composite decks, wheels, etc. What other skateboarding discipline has generated so much...

Glenn S

It's like using an Aston Martin DBR9 to go get groceries (I had to post a pic of my latest racing fetish, sorry). A Honda Civic will do much better for that, while the DBR9 will spank the Civic on a track, ANY Civic! Chris hey if your gunna post your racing fetch ;-) ... http://www.gryphonsolo.com/...

Jani, I'd like to ask for only doing photo assistance and uploading pictures to the server and avatars. I don't want to have responsibility for any administrative duties beyond photos and avatars. Just after Adam Trahan departed, as you know, I took on doing poster name duties as well. Seems that I ...

Glenn S

Adam, I've never gotten any of your emails. Send the avatar picture you want to oceansliderATcoxDOTnet and I'll get you setup. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I agree that avatars which are too off topic would make the site like many others phpBB forums that seem ci...

Glenn S

Yes, WesE I like that idea of letting members upload whatever they want and have told Jani that a few times, but I think he's pretty busy with his day gig and family to make it happen just yet. But if they need help I'm glad to assist. Are you saying that you'd like to help with avatars or take that...

Glenn S

Wesley, I have been trying to keep up on the For Sale topic. I've emailed posters and asked if the item has sold and then updated the subject line to "SOLD" for them. Jani said he'd like to keep the posts on the site as a reference and I agreee. I think we need a sticky post telling users of the For...

Glenn S

That a good point Ron. Even though I never had problems when I was making surfboards, I had a few masonite ones that lasted many years no problem. But I can see what you mean.

Glenn S

Eddy,
Best would be to use masonite. If just a one time deal just get the 1/8" stuff that is tempered on one side only. This is what is used for surfboard templates.

Glenn S

Foam Core "Ick Stick" -- This one is 30 1/2" x 8" x 1/4" camber. The wheelbase you see is 17 3/8". At this wheelbase it is a great very stiff flex under my 170lbs. It can be drilled out for longer wheelbase. It has solid plugs for more drillings if wanted. So really this deck would be good for maybe...

Glenn S

Hey Mark, I initially thought they looked sort of corny. But they kind of grow on you. And when you see good skaters charging a slalom course wearing them...they look pretty good: http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/cover/photos/PSWC2K5_Tight_Hackett_Olson.jpg Good going in Paris! And thanks Vincent f...

Glenn S

I think what Mark is doing is great for the sport. Good going Mark! It's about competition and Mark is just sparking the fire. Even if those shirts look gay.

good point and good looking composite skateboards!

Glenn S

right on WesE thank for posting core photos of unknown skaters riding slalom for the joy of it!

Glenn S

Kenny,
Coming from such a good skateboarder as yourself I take what you say as a very good recommendation for a fun carving toy.

How is the durability of these? Do they hold up well, have you had any breakdowns? And would it be easy to get parts for them if you needed any?

http://www.exkate.com

Glenn S

Hey Martin, now that you've had this one awhile, are the foam cores your preferred choice for both downhill and/or slalom? And if they are would you change anything on this board?

Glenn S

In the history of this site there was only one person briefly banned and that was a year or more ago and that ban was since lifted by Adam Trahan and was explained in full in a post by him. Just checked the IP ban list and nada. I have access but would not personally do such a thing. I think that We...

Glenn S

If anybody posts up for the whole lot and wants to part some out, i'm in for one as a rear truck Chris, Sorry, but I did not want to deal with parting the whole lot out. Probably could have gotten more than I did but I did not want the hassle of dealing with it at this time. If the buyer decides th...

Glenn S

I'd really like to see them go to good use, not wall hangers. I might have a buyer. Will post back if they sell.

Glenn S

Thanks to all who offered but one person bought the lot. I’ve got two sets of PVD R2s with all the various angle plates, extra axles, and MANY-MANY bushings. Except for some minor road dirt pits, and very minor scuffs on the outside hanger of a couple, all the pivots are in top-notch, and my feeling...

Glenn S

No worries Gary just pointing it out. But what I did not understand how you have a website without the "www." in there. Not sure I've seen that kind of web address before. I was thinking at the time that was the problem, but it is not. http://asphaltplayground.com/trucks.html But this one works as w...

Glenn S

Gary, when you put the "www" in front of asphaltplayground.com it does not appear to work right. The link you just posted takes you to a "page not found" page. So if your not on the World Wide Web where are you?

Glenn S

That is awesome Jack. Very cool to come up with such an idea for a skateboard.

Not sure if your familiar with this builder but check out a modern master of the hollow wooden surfboard: http://www.hollowsurfboards.com/

Glenn S

That is awesome news. I heard about this a long time ago. I could not imagine being without my young son for any reason. I can only imagine the pain it caused. Congrats Cabbage!!! Go get him!!!

Glenn S

Chris, Please take what I have to say constructively. It is not nessasaraly the responsibility of others outside the UK to bring world-class races to UK! Why not make only constructive positive posts about what you are going to do to "make it happen" for the UK in the world of slalom racing. From wh...

Yeah literally.... "back and forth".

Glenn S

I'm with Alex on this subject. There are now other cores and resin systems that have properties that far excede the Polyurethane (PUR) foam and Polyester resin (PER) that was/is used in those decks. None the less, I feel Bobby Turner was the best at using those materials as far as skateboards go. An...

Glenn S

Chris,
Are all of those made by Bobby Turner? Also is that a do-it-yourself pinstriping on that green Turner?

Glenn S

Noah, Go to an Army Surplus store and get a camo laundry bag. Perfect for a TS or Hybrid setup. Of course this is just for protecting a nice foam core or carbon finish deck and does not have handles like the above. Basically just to keep the bottom from getting scratched up in transit or the non-ski...

Glenn S

Jani, could you check the Slalom! archive link?
And would you mind if I take a stab at the html for the Manufacturers pages linked from that front page and update or add others that have joined the field?

Glenn S

Eric, I think that Jani meant the http://www.slalomskateboarder.com page , without the phpBB portion of the address. Where the forum is http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB/ Hey Jani, can you make the ISSA tile above as a link to that front page? Here is really no where in the forum to link to th...

Glenn S

Wesley,
Excellent Idea. Without the gear there would be no slalom as we know it.

Glenn S

Also I think there is a feature that could be activated in the sites software where the person registering would need to input a randomly generated set of letters and number or a skateboard specific name or word.

Glenn S

Wesley,
Yes, seems to be quite a few. Many use a Russian email.

They are adversiting with posting a website in their profile. But I think they are also hoping that we do group emails, so as to obtain everyones personal email address. Which I've not know slalomskateboarder.com to do.

Glenn S

Rene,
To me you are the consummate professional / ambassador for the sport of skateboarding. Thanks for sharing that with us all. That picture of you and your Bro's on the nose classic.

I got my first steel-wheeled Roller Derby in 1964 or 1965. When I finally stepped up to a sweet laminated Hobie Super Surfer 1967ish (white composite wheels with gold printing) I knew I had arrived. I still think that was a great board. We ground through dozens of sets of those composites and had t...

Glenn S

Rick,
I've never tried a cut down 101. What is your feeling on your cut down Indy 101 hanger? How does it ride?

Glenn S

The 101(or 109) is one of my favorite front trucks. There is something about it that just feels better than the RTX up front to me.

Glenn S

What kind of setup are you trying to put together, a TS or GS? What type of deck is it? You could if you wanted to, cut down your RTX hangers yourself if you wanted a narrower truck up front for a TS setup and wanted to use an 88mm offset in back. Or you could put the 88mm Midtrack up front like on ...

Glenn S

Jack,
I tried ordering a surf video and put in Skatefriends in the coupon area but it came back as expired.

You mean like as in raining with muddy water freaky?

Glenn S

Surfing is my main desire as a sport. I started skating again only because the surf does not always crank in California. When I lived in Hawaii for twelve years I never skated because I was surfing almost every day, somtimes putting in 4-7 hours in the water on a good day. And if I was not surfing I...

Glenn S

Cameron and Noah, I would think that you guys might be closest to the Oregon and Washington races that those guys have. There are very active and organized slalomer’s in both those States. And also maybe a tad further but the Colorado slalomer’s also have quite a few races. I'm not sure of the exact...

Glenn S

Steve, Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate the thought. But I really don't want this job. Actually I've really got too much responsibility here at this site with photo editing, uploading, and avatar management as it is. Hell you've probably got a ton more knowledge than me at this point with all...

Glenn S

Jack,
From the title of the race I'm gunna guess a house or houses are finally being built on the lots next to driveway? Too bad that was a very seanic and layed-back location.
