I'm in Geneve waiting for Jani and family to pick me up for Grüningen tomorrow. Taking it easy. Don't want to waste energy... and certainly don't want to make a stupid fall... Maybe go for a loose cruize this evening along the Geneve lake. Right now it's way too hot. <font size=-1>[ This Message was...

Came to Geneve today (Thursday) and it must be a record in high temperature. Hopefully it will not be as hot in Grüningen. Planing on a ride along the Geneve lake tonight when things cool down a little. Seen two guys cruizing on slalomboards so there are some sencible people here after all. See you ...

Right now there is a news article on a very popular swedish skate site, Defekt , about a skate documentary that we are in the making of, "1985 Swedish summer camp nostalgia"....

As I see it there are two main ways of doing slalom: The cruizing way and the racing way. The main difference between the two is that when doing it the cruizing way you seek the good feeling, joy and nice lines. When doing it the racing way you seek efficiancy, speed and maximum force.

Innerhole to innerhole it seems to be. You are absolutley right Vlad. But I think the term is then missused. That should be called Truckbase. And from axle to axle it should be called wheelbase.

Är det någon som ska ner till Schweiz. Jag och Jani kommer att vara där. Tyvärr faller det ju in på midsommaraftonshelgen så jag antar att det är svårt för de flesta.
Det verkar som om det blir pro/am uppdelning vilket är bra för min del.

Very good news about splitting skaters into two different course setttings (Pro and Am) for Tight slalom. Is this also done for Giant slalom? For giant slalom it is generally not as critical since it's easier to control speed. But that doesn't mean you can't have 2 different result lists afterwards....
