I have a nice Roe that would work

Ron Barbagallo

I approve this message

Ron Barbagallo

that's a great setup!

perfect for beginner through intermediate and even past that

Put the Tracker in the back and wedge it with the thin part towards the front. Bennett goes in the front with same kind of wedging.

http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/Racers/USA/WesleyTucker/WT-cyber-550-sepia.jpg Our friend and fellow skater Wes Tucker has passed away Many, if not all of you knew him and I'm sure you all have a story about him. We should share them here. Wes was sometimes a kook and a pain, but we all know he w...

Fullbag Uber Alles!!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

That's awesome Bernie!!! The Pennies have caught on here as well. We've been featuring kids races at most of our East Coast races here in the States. And we also have a Vintage class at the Farm Series of slalom races for the past 10 years - nothing after 1978. Your idea kinda combines them - love i...

Ron Barbagallo

fatboy i put my name and richys name as an example no bad bloood here intended in slalom all the organizers do in general is ask for schwag,similar to street or pool contests when money comes into the game the sponsor approach is much different from that. they want to know how the contest is run,ho...

Ron Barbagallo

I too have sponsored many races in the past - WAYYYY too many races for such a small company!!!! But I believe in the sport as do Richy and Donald I have never been asked my opinion or input on ANY race that I have helped sponsor, so I am intrigued by Donald's statements about his bowl contest. He j...

Ron Barbagallo

I think that there might be a school of thought that running the Pros later in the day keeps the crowd. Once the Pros are done, spectators will hang around for a little while and then they’ll leave as the action isn’t as high. But given the fact that we attract dozens of spectators to events, it rea...

Ron Barbagallo

Anyone that was at Farm #4 - my first - will remember my "tripod" finish. I did that very same "lose the spacer" drill and my wheel heated up and came off the bearings, leaving me to finish on only 3 But I did indeed finish! And I popped the board up at the end so I didn't damage the tape strip Mayb...

Ron Barbagallo

Yeah, that's right - Team Fatboy on the podium!!!!

Pie will be waiting for Lisa when she gets to Jersey this week!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

My apologies I believe I have misspoken The event in Akron will have to be shelved for now There are too many other races going on at the same time and the week before and after Neil feels, and rightly so, that this will further divide the small pool that is travelling slalom racers. But big thanks ...

Ron Barbagallo

Hey Sniffy! Yup, Neil "Dr No" Orta has taken the reigns for this! He has applied for race status and I believe it will be a Main, but don't quote me on that. I'm not a race marshall. Anyway, Neil puts on good races and is a swell guy to boot. So support him with this race if you are anywhere near Oh...

Ron Barbagallo

Happy Birthday my brother from another mother!!!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

UPDATE!!! as I said, this is going to happen. The IGSA is putting on a race in Akron, Ohio this Fall. They would like to do a slalom race as well on the sweet Derby hill at the same time. I must stress how GREAT of an opportunity this is for slalom, longboarding, DH, and skateboarding in general!!! ...

Ron Barbagallo

I looked forward to Pastor Peggi's blessing every year - truly was a highlight. She took the time to come up with a new blessing every year and they were always entertaining - like her. And she always took the time to chat with the skaters, whether it was at the race or at breakfast. I was priveledg...

Ron Barbagallo

I nominate Neil "Dr No" Orta for the ISSA Board of Directors
Neil, please tell us if you accept, a little of your background, and what you can do for the ISSA.

Ron Barbagallo

Fatty is paid

Ron Barbagallo

The organizers were approached well in advance. I personally asked them what kind of status they wanted.

They told me that the race was for fun, not for points.

The results would be nice to know, but that was not the spirit of the event.

Ron Barbagallo

You rock, Neil

Thanks for all your help!

Ron Barbagallo

Slalom Skateboarding and the All American Soap Box Derby Overall goal - To make Akron, Ohio the epicenter of gravity sports in the US How can slalom skateboarding help and support this? By putting on events showcasing not only the amazing hill at the All American Soap Box Derby, but the great city o...

Ron Barbagallo

Wes, you are indeed correct As is Jani There are all of those details you are speaking of. What I am trying to find is someone in the general area who wants to get involved with this. You, I, Lenny, Marion, Joe I, Claude, etc all have plenty of knowledge about these details. And I'm sure a lot of us...

Ron Barbagallo

thanks Corky!

I looked under Men Am and I was in there, but it showed (-1) races attended - that's what threw me off

Ron Barbagallo

my name was used

I remember because people who didn't know me called me Ron and it threw me off - I never knew when it was my turn to race!

Ron Barbagallo

not that it matters or that I'm complaining, but I raced at both Antrim and the Worlds and my results show no races attended

Ron Barbagallo

awesome!!

Well done, sir!

Ron Barbagallo

Happy Birthday Harmsy!!

Ron Barbagallo

I agree that pros should be run early, but maybe not first. First of all, the first few races may have timer issues - they should be sorted out with ams. Second of all, spectators may be inclined to leave after the pros. I think maybe juniors first - there aren't many of them, and they're "cute", or...

Ron Barbagallo

I know it's all over Facebook, but that's blocked at work

Can someone post times for the Worlds?

Oh, and props to Karl for taking a DNR on the Pro Hybrid so that the runs could count - classy!

Ron Barbagallo

Entered!!!

Ron Barbagallo

Hey Jeff - welcome aboard!

I'm in Dirty Jersey. I think I might be making it to the Adrenalina on Saturday - look for me, I'm the fat guy who looks lost ;)

Fatboy

Ron Barbagallo

Can't disagree with Steve and Donald's logic. There just aren't enough "Pros" or people who wanna call themselves Pros anymore to warrant a seperate division. Perhaps the Pro division should have some requirements? But then again if the requirement was that if you win X number of Am races you become...

Ron Barbagallo

I'll get some Fatboy stickers for ya' E

Ron Barbagallo

sorry I can't be there!

I know you'll have a great time. Enjoy a shwarma for me!

Tell all my Canadian brothers and sisters that I love and miss them.

Lookin' to make it up there for the Worlds

Ron Barbagallo

Poutine Poutine!!

Ron Barbagallo

what was my time?

Ron Barbagallo

sorry I'm late - Happy Birthday Dom!

Ron Barbagallo

Bollocks!!! Mig told me there was pie and boobies on that site!

I distrust Canadians on the whole now!

Ron Barbagallo

I'm guessing it went unnoticed because most people, myself included, have the forum page bookmarked and completely bypass the front page

Ron Barbagallo

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr we could just post videos of topless chicks running cones and win them all over

Ron Barbagallo

cool - glad this is still around

I think it's important that all that kind of info is available in one spot

makes throwing a race a lot less intimidating

Ron Barbagallo

Rubbin' is racin'

Ron Barbagallo

this does NOT qualify as a Pro/Am in compliance with the current BOD!!!!

you need 16 pros dammit!!!!

Ron Barbagallo

and please note me holding the tent post so that the ac cable is above head decapitating height!

Ron Barbagallo

SILENCE, UPSTART ZAMBONI DRIVER!!!

LOWER YOUR HEAD WHEN ADDRESSING THE BOD!!!!

hahahahahaha - just kidding Claude! I saw a sanction form floating around a coupla days ago, I think they're just doing final tweaks on it before posting it.
