So...Slalom is like a dead, incredibly gay, infectious, retard with a small flame coming from (insert favorite orafice).

I believe I saw Joe I. nearly burn one eyebrow off in Athens.
Saw Mitchell nearly burn his shorts performing a "Blue Dart".
Some one at the Vermont race had his sneaker catch fire.
And I had a nasty puffback on the old oil burner this winter.

That's it as far as I know.

10* front and back (Fat ends toward the rear).
Or, if you only have one 10* put the 7* in the rear.

That is pretty standard.

It would definately help to know what trucks you are using.
Trucks come in all different turninesses (just made a word up) requireing some, none, or alot of wedging depending on what you're using them for and where they are mounted.

Is it up to the racer to decide if he wants to race elite or open or is it already decided?

According to previous posts its up to the racer but according to your last one its based on the slalomskateboarder rankings.
