I've been thinking about this for a few years and have finally decided to actually do it. I'm going to self-publish a book titled "Lives on Board". It will be a collection of short stories and photographs expressing the influence that skateboarding has had on our lives. You are invited to submit you...

Jack Smith

John, I'm not talking about kids. For that level of racing I agree with you. I'm talking about high-level slalom racing. Do you really think that every middle of the pack racer is going to finish in exactly the same position at every race, thus creating a high number of ties in the ranking system? A...

Jack Smith

In head to head racing you should not be placed higher than someone you didn't defeat. You should not be placed higher than someone who is elminated in the same round as you were. In true head to head racing, elapsed time for each racer is not even considered. The first racer across the finish line ...

Jack Smith

Arrggghhhh... I repeat, it is unfair to use qualifying times to determine a racer's placing in head to head to racing. Example: 16 racer final JG qualifies 14th he beats JS, the 3rd fastest qualifier in round 1. JS is done for the day. JG is now in the round of eight. He races in the round of eight ...

If you look up the word "Stoke" in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Marion and his happy crew of DHB's. Everything posted here about the race, I second! The camraderie at this event reminded me of the 2001 Worlds. An absolutely amazing weekend. All I can add is, you better sigh up early next ...

Jack Smith

Corky, I'm not europhobic. Give me a break.

Who would you get sh** from? Just a simple question.

It is not about how you feel...it's about being fair.

Jack Smith

Corky, you have been thanked numerous times by many people (including me) for all your hard work on the rating system. There is no problem here. You don't need a loophole. All you need to do is announce that the NC race is a prime event, it's your deal no matter which way you want to spin it. The on...

Jack Smith

Just received an update from the boss. The Radikal factory is still on generator power and damage to the building is more extensive than first thought. A decision has been made to transfer all shipping and sales operations to the west coast. Sparky is going to package up all inventory and ship it to...

Jack Smith

Jad, Every other sport that I am aware of, that uses a head to head format, awards points in the manner I posted above. So there are systems that gives the same points to more than one racer. Yes, the qualifying rounds are the time to make a fast "qualifying" time, however, that's all it is, a quali...

Jack Smith

Absolutely Unbelievable! Your arm must be getting twisted mighty hard Corky. Your refusal to bend on this subject is very similar to your unwillingness to consider changing how you award points in dual racing. For those of you who don't know how this is currently handled, finishers 1-4 are awarded p...

Jack Smith

Corky, Should I venture a guess where the "objections" are coming from? Or will you be so kind as to tell us. No need to mention names, just a broad geographical region will do. I have a hunch that if Barker, Michell and Hollien were not coming to the NC race, you would have not received any objecti...

Jack Smith

Troy, Man, you're on to me. I currently rank about 423rd. It's not about my points. It's about the east coast not having a "prime" race. You guys and gals have a very active slalom scene and the DHB's have put together this fine event. Yet, it is not allowable to change/bend the rules to allow this ...

Jack Smith

"That's why it's now important to have an indoor backup for big races. " Does this mean that if a prime or main race is moved indoors it would still retain it's status and have the same points awarded? Please tell me you're not serious. Back to the NC race, Corky why won't you answer a simple questi...

Jack Smith

Corky, maybe you should move to the US and become a politician. Of course you can change the status of the race, you're the one who enters the points. It would be not adding another prime status race, it would just be taking the place of the WV prime status. If this race is not awarded prime status,...

Jack Smith

Corky,

To be blunt, it is absolutely ridiculous that this race is not being rated as a prime event.

This is not World Sup Ski Racing, it's not even kiddie soccer.

Besides you, is there anyone else who has voiced any objection to awarding this race prime status?

Jack Smith

Marty...

Me pro? I'm a middle of the pack open racer.

Jack Smith

Corky, so what's your answer?

I think it would be a shame if the NC race is not awarded the same status as the WV race.

Jack Smith

Dear Radikal Customer, First of all I would like to thank you for your incredible patience regarding your order. As many of you may know the Radikal factory is located in Riviera Beach, Florida. The factory took a direct hit from Hurricane Wilma. On Tuesday when I spoke with Sparky he told me that t...

Oh well... I was so stoked to be coming to the World's in Austria next year , and then I read that "punk rock" is the music of choice for the event. Luckily I hadn't made my reservations yet. Maybe, next time...

Kingpin breakage and replacement. Hey guys, Jack Smith here, I've taken over sales and customer service for Radikal. I'll get with Mark and Sparky and see that your questions and concerns are answered. I've been riding the same front truck for almost two years now, and haven't had a problem. Maybe, ...

Erin,

We use chalk lines all the time...work great!

Jack Smith

Steve,

The cross country we did at the Worlds is not a slalom discipline. It was a half mile push race on a bike path in a city park.

It was just a fun way to start off slalom week.

Jack Smith

I just finished (Oct. 4th - noon PST) speaking with Sparky. The new engraving software has done it's magic and product is once again available. All outstanding shipments will be shipped by Friday.

From what I've been reading, it looks Donald has a great venue and some healthy sponsors lined up. He is correct about companies setting their sponsorship budgets at this time of year. I admire his enthusiasm regarding the 2006 Worlds. I offer him my support and any knowledge I have gained over the ...
