Even though I have done it my offricial stance on racing in the rain/wet surfaces is don't do it. Now as my post states, I ran a race on wet pavement but it wasn't my race. I'll take chances with myself but I do not wish to put others at risk. When I've put on races and it has rained I've called off...

Jeremy Coffman

I just skated in a race on wet pavement. It was a challenge. Besides the lack of traction, I ended up on my ass on my first test run, biggest issue was getting the timing system down. We were using TrakMate system. As Wesley pointed out you can't tape the strips down on a wet surface. We had to use ...

Jeremy Coffman

I'm kind of bummed on the lack of slalom coverage in CW this time.

Jeremy Coffman

I was, and still am, committed to doing both Conefest AND Akron. I had my concerns with the close proximity of the Akron race with Antrim/Conefest but with enough notice I could plan to attend both Akron and one of the races. I think the Akron race would be awesome and a good move for slalom as a wh...

Jeremy Coffman

Is there an update to this? Race info? Anything? I'd like to do this race.

Jeremy Coffman

Yeah, what Kieth said. Original Radikal bushing. That new bushing seat does seem to work better.

Jeremy Coffman

I tried my new barrels today. I like them. A lot. Nice compression and return to center. I popped these in while I was running tight today. I got really good action. Very impressed.
I haven't tried out the cones yet.
When can we expect to see some more duros? Harder duros?

Jeremy Coffman

I do realize. I'm just thinking of the impact on 2 established races. It's just bad luck/timing all around. It's a great opportunity that we as a community can't pass up. I've been stoked on this happening ever since it looked like it was happening. I just hate to see a situation arise where racers ...

Jeremy Coffman

This could be a problem.

Jeremy Coffman

That is awfully close to Antrim and Cone Fest dates. I stole this off facebook concerning Antrim... Antrim Can/Am Slalom Skateboard Championships Antrim Can / Am Is again a GO for September 14-15-16. Application has been submitted to ISSA to make this a Major event. Looking forward to the skate seas...

Jeremy Coffman

So today I entered in "slalom skateboarding" into the search on YouTube and Martin Sweeney is still like the number one video to pop up. BUT with the name "slalom skateboarding" and over 75,000 veiws that is to be expected. However there are a bunch of other good videos that pop up under that. If yo...

Jeremy Coffman

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.
nevermind.

I'm still good tho, right?

Jeremy Coffman

So I see you ask we include our email address in the notes when we make our payment BUT when I did my payment, using the payment option on the front page, I never saw anywhere to leave a note to do that. So did I miss it or screw up somehow? Either way I'm paid for '11 and '12!

Jeremy Coffman

Ron, you know you can count on me......well once I get my job situation taken care of. There is already discussions on this topic amoung the slalom community here. So we are down to help make this work.

Jeremy Coffman

So what are some real good GS vids you've seen? I was thinking that GS video might interest more of the longboard set.

Jeremy Coffman

A know a Paul Adams from Texas that slaloms.

Jeremy Coffman

Cone Fest 6 is coming up this Sept, sadly conflicting with Antrim as always. So who's coming out?
TS, HS and GS.

Jeremy Coffman

As a racer I actually like the longer courses. I look forward to a few of the races just because I know the course is going to be longer than what I am usually able to skate on my own. Just my personal take on it. I do get what you guys are saying though. I think some better organizing in odrer to k...

Jeremy Coffman

So this begs the question.....
Who's going "Pro"???

Jeremy Coffman

As if I wasn't already bummed out that I am missing the Worlds again this year, now I'm going to miss this as well. This soulds like fun. Wish I could be there.

Jeremy Coffman

Select photos from Jeana Justice and Lee Ann Blevins http://s560.photobucket.com/albums/ss42/sniffleless/Derby%20Day%20Slalom%20Race/ So we had a good day of skating. It got a little damp but it was a good day. We got out to the hill and set up. People started slowly trickling in. The start ramp was...

Jeremy Coffman

Well despite the rain we got the hybrid in today. It took a couple of tries but we did it. The tight got rained out. And only one visit from a very freindly police officer. So here is how it plaid out. 1. Jeremy Coffman 24.789 2. Bobby Thomas 25.042 3. David Tolley 25.331 4. Evan Tolley 25.351 5. De...

Jeremy Coffman

Thank you very much for the thoughts. Make them dry thoughts. Looks like rain is coming. I just hope it holds off until after the race.

Jeremy Coffman

Looking like we will have a good window between possible rainshowers to get the race in.
Come out. Skate. Possibly win a Jockey Helmet trophy!

Jeremy Coffman

I set the course today. We're all ready. Lets hope the rain stays away.
I forgot my camera. So no photos of the hill today.

Jeremy Coffman

Just a reminder that we are having a race on May 7. Just a little outlaw race but I have some nice Kentucky Derby themed trophies to hand out.
Come on out and run cones with us.

Jeremy Coffman

We are a week away and the rain has finally stopped.
Come on out and run some cones with us on Derby Day.

Jeremy Coffman

Sign up is up!

Jeremy Coffman

NICE. My next board might have to be a Pavel.

Jeremy Coffman

I forgot to mention that there is no entry fee for this race. I hope to have some sort of novelty trophies for the winners. Being the Kentucky Derby that day, lodging may be near impossible to get or way expensive. Just a warning on that. If you have any questions about the race just shoot me an e-m...

Jeremy Coffman

Outlaw Slalom Race! When? First Saturday in May. That would be May 7th and that would also be the Kentucky Derby! Practice starts a 10 am and racing starts at 11:30 Where? Louisville, KY. Home of the Kentucky Derby. Cooper Crossings Dr. What? Single lane Hybrid slalom and maybe tight if we have tim...

Jeremy Coffman

Okay this idea is still floating around. Outlaw race. Derby Day! That would be May 7. A Saturday. Single lane hybrid. Best of three runs. Maybe a tight race too if we have time. Being Derby that means chances of getting a room (cheap or otherwise) is pretty doubtful. So be forewarned on that. I'm th...

Jeremy Coffman

Less than 2 weeks to the Sizzler and I come down with the flu.

Jeremy Coffman

I did my part!
Fullbag is even my favorite t-shirt.....too bad they won't let me wear it to work anymore.

Jeremy Coffman

Well, I've read some of your facebook posts and just assumed.

I saw a video of some girls skating a bowl in the nude. So maybe Ron's naked slalom video idea isn't far off from becoming reality.

Jeremy Coffman

I'm glad you can comprehend my post. I just re-read it and it's not the most comprehensible thing I have ever written. It's hard to compose when someone is yelling in your ear. ;-) I love my wife. I really do. and a special "I'm sorry" to Rick. I'm sure you cringe at all my grammatical errors. I did...

Jeremy Coffman

So today I was skating with a bunch of longboarders doing a little dh riding. The subject of slalom came up and a couple of the guys said they had no interest in slalom right off the bat. It turns out that the main experience with slalom all the guys had was that video of Martin Sweeney doing that 1...

Jeremy Coffman

Let me talk the details out and maybe I'll figure out a date soon. Once I get everything straightened out and the weather stabilizes. Maybe an outlaw in spring and another race in October is what I'm hoping. okay. Looks like Lenny has me hooked up with extra cones and a timing system. So we are off ...

Jeremy Coffman

Not ready to start a new thread on this but I just want to throw this out there..... I'm thinking of doing another outlaw race maybe. Nothing big. Real small. any interest? If I can. I hope to maybe get together with one of the local shops and maybe organize a real race. I'd like those guys to see w...

Jeremy Coffman

You know I'm in.

Jeremy Coffman

Well all right. Balls to the wall it is then. I'll go as fast as my poor little foot (and my general skill level) will allow. Now I just have to learn how to turn again.

Jeremy Coffman

So how is the run out on this hill? Since I broke my foot, it hurts to foot brake and thus I'm not doing so good at it. I've got a few months to work on that.

Jeremy Coffman

wow.
what a way to get my name known in the slalom world.

Jeremy Coffman

The event as described by JBH via Steve Pederson. "My board almost completed the circle but I didn't. I "Wilsoned" (shot the board out by leaning back too far) as I started to ascend the wall of the pipe. Folded my left leg under me awkwardly and also smacked the back of my head. Paul called 911, pa...

Jeremy Coffman

Willy are you still thinking about doing a race in Indy?

Jeremy Coffman

NUTS! August is out for me. Inventory time at the warehouse...and band season on top of that. Busy time. I wish you the best of luck with your race. I'll pass the word as often as I can as the opportunity arises.

Jeremy Coffman

lookin' good. Keep at it and you can't help but get better. I would have to see you in person before I would begin to give you any advice on anything you are doing wrong or improve on. All I can offer is watch a bunch of vids of people running cones and study what they are doing and try to copy it. ...

Jeremy Coffman

Baby steps. We'll getting you running cones like a pro in no time. If that isn't too presumptuous of me to say. There is a race in Statesvillle, NC where they do the GS race on a soap box derby hill. Actually that hill is in Winston Salem. Either way that hill is fast. I ran that one from the B clas...

Jeremy Coffman

I'm down with coming up to Indy for a session. That soap box hill looks killer. You are welcome to come down here anytime. I am about it for slalom in Louisville that I know of. I tend to ride on Sunday afternoons. I have a few fun hills to set up on. Besides the Cone Fest in Sept, they usually hold...

Jeremy Coffman

What Marcos said. I'm down for some bbq.
