Hello, I ordered a Roe Unlimited PS last week. I've got a question. On the site it states the wheel base is 20"+21" which I'm guessing is due to two sets of mounting holes in the back? Yes? From the picture is just shows on set. I saw no option to choose which one so I can only assume it's adjustab...

Alex Walters

I suppose I'm qualified to fill either of those positions if they haven't been filled yet. If you need me just send me a PM.

Alex Walters

.....The sequence where the tires roll up a slope looks particularly impressive but is very simple. Steiner says that there is a weight in each tire and when the tire is knocked, the weight is displaced and in an attempt to rebalance itself, the tire rolls up the slope That was taken straight from ...

Alex Walters

That is one HOT longboard.

Alex Walters

I deafinatly need some of those to match my grippins! To repeat Justin's question, how'd you make those?

Alex Walters

Great videos!

Alex Walters

That's sweet! I dig the orange wheels with the yellow board.

Alex Walters

Sweet boards. They looks fantastic!

The Lightning bug also looks equally fantastic.

Alex Walters

Any administrator has the power to ban on phpBB.

Alex Walters

I have an S9 pintail as well. You're not going to get very far in slalom with that unless you have room to practice SGS or GS. I'd just slap some randalls on it and keep it as a carver and buy a seperate slalom board. If you don't have the money for a slalom board and want to skate GS then some 155'...

Alex Walters

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw that!

Alex Walters

220 Great British Pounds........and as long as we keep fighting Georges War, and the dollar sags, then it's a tough exchange rate......i'd recommend you send an Email to Steve Church at Turner Summer Ski and get a quote directly from him in US bucks...never hurts to ask, aye? I just used a currency...

Alex Walters

That's one beautiful deck! I would love one of those but unfortunatly I don't have the money.

Alex Walters

Some people consider Turners top of the line but in the end it's all up to your own prefrence.

Alex Walters

I pronounce it Keero but everone I've spoken to says K-eye-ro.

Alex Walters

For seismics I would get 130mm. For Trackers I would get 129mm but you could use 139mm. I think 150mm would be too wide for a board that skinny usless you are talking about Randals which are measured by axle length instead of hangar width.

Alex Walters

The radikals would not be too narrow but they're expensive. 180mm is almost 10 inches. I would consider that way to wide for a 7.5 inch deck. Also the wheels will add some width especially the ones you mentioned (flashbacks, avalons). I would recommend tracker 106mm Racetracks or 105mm Seismics with...

Alex Walters

Very nice board. I see the crack you're talking about.

Alex Walters

It must be sad seeing a board like that going into retirement. Do you have any pics of the board and/or the crack you're talking about?

Alex Walters

You wont be able to use the grippins with the seismics. The smaller seismics don't accept centerset wheels. Sideset wheels like Flashbacks or offset like cambrias or avalons will work though.

Alex Walters

I'll be there for all or most of the Super G and all of the Slalom. I just have a couple of questions. What time are the events taking place on friday and saturday? And exacaty where are they taking place? I'm not familiar with the area. I need to know where the Super G course is?

Alex Walters

Those are some really nice looking boards. I've seen photos of many wefunks and they all look so amazing.

Alex Walters

Here's a link to the shoulderpad section of the new gait/debeer site
http://www.debeerlacrosse.com/gait_gear/

Alex Walters

Wait, you guys are wearing lacrosse pads as slalom shoulder pads! I never realized that, maybe now I can get some more use out of my STX Fusion pads. You might want to try out Brine Lacrosse Rhino Skin It's basically under armour with foam padding in it. It will be more comfortable than normal lacro...

Alex Walters

I would love to go. I wouldn't compete but I'd love to watch.

Alex Walters

hey seth, easy answer to that one, because last time saw Mr. X, he said he wasn't making them anymore. Said having a good straight axle replacement did as much or more for traction than offsets--something about torsional watchamacalit and variable flex frumption. I should probably let the Geeze spe...

Alex Walters

I've found some allyways but the pavemant is all cracked with grass and stuff growing through it. The bike paths are all way too crowded. Park paths and maintenance driveways are the only ones that I can see working I'll look out for something like that. As for skating around midnight, it would work...

Alex Walters

Haven't found a crew yet. It's just me and one friend. I try and setup some cones(solo cups) or at least some kind of marker but the streets are just too crowded around here and I can't really travel too far to find a place to skate with less traffic.

Alex Walters

I have never owned or ridden radikal trucks but from the looks of it they should be aligned just fine and if the threads come loose you can just tighten them again or add loctite to them.

Alex Walters

Great layout. It's really nice looking.

Alex Walters

People wouldn't be able to get Flyaway helmets unless they were looking for something vintage. My Flyaway helmet probably has more padding than a currently-produced Protec helmet of the same size. I had a good Protec in the mid-'80s, so I went looking for another one in 2001 at local skateshops. Un...

Alex Walters

Looks like it. It would be great if they added more shapes though.

Alex Walters

Sweet video. I can't get the second half of the movie to load but what I did manage to see was great.

Alex Walters

Yesterday and today I got a chance to setup a better course and I got to use my new Roe (25 cones, 7ft spacing, on the fall line) and all I can say is I'm not going to be spending as much time on a longboard. I had so much fun. We videotaped some of it but unfortunately didn't get to film my best run.

Alex Walters

At La Costa, Chicken also had a couple of these decks (Smokestack, Chicken "Dagger") that had a fiberglass (I think?) layer on the top, and a slight concave as well. He said that if he produces them, they would likely sell for about $10.00 more than the all-wood versions. As with all of his stuff, ...

Alex Walters

Got my Roe today and I'm very impressed. It's my first slalom board and I love it so much. I took it through some cones and it's great. It's very responsive and easy to control.

<a href="http://www.silverfishlongboarding.com/f ... t=7093">Go here for pics</a>

Alex Walters

I just measured my RT-X and RT-S and the X has a 2 1/4" kingpin and the S has a 2 1/2". Looks like I don't have to bother with the modification.

Alex Walters

Great story. That's one sexy board and it does look like something trapped in amber. It has a really nice look.

Alex Walters

At <a href="http://www.pocketpistolskates.com/">Pocketpistolskates.com</a>. Sorry I got the price wrong by $5 they're $50 not $45. Still really cheap though. Another good choice is the <a href="http://www.bahneskateboards.com/">Bahne</a> Black Hill which is only $40 for the deck. I don't have any ex...

Alex Walters

I don't have a used deck. I'm just getting into the sport myself but with a good deck you'll have a great starter slalom board. The 105mm seismics are the smallest. I can't help you with a used deck but you could look into a new PocketPistols hardcore series, they go for only $45 new.

Alex Walters

Today my friend and longbording buddy came over and we were carving up the hills near our house on our longboards. When we got back I saw the pile of solo cups I bought as cheap cones a while ago. We decided to try some slalom with out longboards. I set the cone 9 to 10 feet apart along the fall lin...

Alex Walters

My question has been answered.

Alex Walters

Ok I'll get a bag of those after I get back from my vacation. Which is about when my deck will arrive.

Alex Walters

Ok cool. I figured it woudn't harm anything but I just wanted to be sure. Also where can I find these lock washers you speak of?

Alex Walters

I have a question. I asked this in the Roe forum but I'll ask it in the thread too. Can I use countersunk bolts on a Performance Series? I've had no experience with decks that are made of anything but wood and I know the bolts dig into the deck a little. I was just wondering if this causes any serio...

Alex Walters

I'm going to get a new Performance Series Roe and I was just wondering if it's ok to use countersunk bolts with it. I know they dig in to the board but will this harm the board in any serious way? I really don't like round top bolts but if countersunk bolts are going to mess up the board I can manage.

Alex Walters

Yea I can always take off the shock pads but I'd like to keep them for added shock absorbancy. I'll exeriment with taking them off. I'll see how smooth it rides with and without them. The 3/8" hard riser in the back is 3 1/8' risers stacked I could take one off and leave the shockpad on and then hav...

Alex Walters

Do you think 1/2" of risers is too much for 70mm wheels (Grippins)? I have yet to ride it on this setup. I have the front (Tracker RT-X) on a 1/8" shock pad and a wedge that raises it about the same as a 1/2" riser. In the back (Tracker RT-S) I have a 1/8" shockpad and a 3/8" riser. Do you think thi...

Alex Walters

The Super Swiss 6 ball theory is that larger balls in the bearing are like larger wheels. They have a higher max speed. I guess the 8 and 9 ball bearings would be slower but accelerate faster.

Alex Walters

I just got some Grippins in the mail today and I can't wait to ride them!
