Controlled kick-out?

yesterday, blastin some TS, I was just givin'er..... and when I was twisting really hard to make it through the middle cones I would sliding my back wheels out quite often. Is that normal?

I don't know about the U shape for me, but the 200 foot Roller Hockey rink would be good for two runs of 25, easily with 6 foot spacings. (I was using 7 above just for the widest measurment) Going to have to rent it for an hour by myself to see how the surface holds up. It is a surface literally mad...

just figured it all out..

FYI - if anyone cares

Hockey rink is 200 ft, so 25 cones at 7 feet is 175 feet, still leaves 25 feet for ramp and stopping. lol

and the Roller hockey rink here in E-town costs $40 to $50 an hour to rent.

ya Erin,Slalom rocks... and if a roller hockey rink 'does' work out, then I'd be able to skate all winter long.... that would be awesome. I'd imagine there would be enough room for a ramp for speed, straight into the cones and hopefully you could have at least 20 - 25 cones and still have room for a...

Newbie question on Cups and bushings

hello everyone! just getting into this slalom business.... and have a couple of questions... Can anyone tell me the performance difference between the Barrel and the Insert bushings? are the barrels better? and how do the Pivot cups that come in the Bushing kits work exactly? ie - do soft pivot cups...
