Hey Joe:

I am ready to race you at any of this season's events I attend.

We can make it a US versus Canada race - case of Molson's Canadian versus a case of Ommegang or Bud (your choice)

Knowing that we both turn 40 this year - the trophy can be a bottle of Geritol.

Big Joe are you game?????

Rob

Hey Everyone - All the best for the New Year Joe - I am turning the big 4-0 this year as well - 6 months earlier than you!! Maybe we should have a "birthday bash" at one of the events this summer - Da Farm, Gathering, etc. or maybe at all of the events. Just remember - "The Older I Get, The Better I...

Hey Guys: My suggestion is that we combine Toronto and Hamilton into one race - four cities is going to be really tough to organize and to keep our bodies working. In reality, TO and Hamilton are less than 1 hour apart. If we did Toronto/Hamilton, Ottawa and Montreal would give the organizers in eac...

Brian:

What are your problems specifically??

I know of a number of slightly non-published cures that might help, but it depends on the injuries.

What types of therapy were you receiving??

Thanks

Rob

Hey Brian: I have had 5 orthoscopic (sp??) surgeries on my kness as well as my right ACL completely replaced. So I have seen it all when it comes to knees. My best recommendation is search out an orthpod that specializes in elite athletes. I find their approaches and methods are greared to fixing th...

Hey Guys: We need to end this nonsense conflict between the East and West - it does nothing to promote and grow the sport. I hate to see what happens this coming season - are we going to have a north versus south battle between the Canadians and Americans?? No one wins - so let's work on growing the...

I almost forgot a quote that Michael Brooke used to get people to attend his Concrete Wave event in Toronto - I think it says it best:

Great beer, cheap hotels, almost 2 for 1 dollars and full nudity titty bars!!!!!

Hopefully I do not offend Mary-Beth and Mia.

Rob

Hey Joe and John: I think it would be fantastic if the East Coast Crew made it up to Canada for a weekend of slalom racing. I have been so impressed with the hospitality that we have received at your events - it would be great to be able to offer it back. Claude and I have discussed the need for a C...

Sorry Chris:

I don't think any of us Canadian's are going to make it to WV.

Claude Regnier is holding a Canadian Slalom Gathering in Ottawa in two weeks, so limited to schedule.

You and the East Coast guys should try to come up.

Hope you are doing well.

Rob

I am game for one power slalom session before the snow flies.

It would be great if Gilmore and any other of the East Coasters racers would come and join us.

Let's get a weekend picked out - so everyone can make it.

Once again, congratulations Claude - you did us proud.

All the best

Rob

Claude:

Just remember have fun and you have a lot of Canadian slalomers cheering you on up here in the North.

Keep us in touch on how the event proceeds.

All the best,

Rob

Excellent move Hugh and Adam!!!!

New people can get news about their specific GRASS organization and at the same be introduced to the knowledge and expertise that exists within this site.

Congratulations

Rob

Mike:

Could you post a pic of the Gumballs - can't find one anywhere, including ABEC 11 web-site.

What duro combinations would you recomend for different events (TS, Hybrid, Cyber).

Thanks

Rob

Wes:

Your hand-out looks excellent - just the thing to promote slalom here in Canada.

Thanks for the effort.

Rob

Being a relative newbie and based in Canada - I would be really interested in receiving any course diagrams/layouts. I am impressed with the Excel diagram, but would even accept hand-written course diagrams. Could be as simple as simple diagrams with cone spacing indicated. I would also be intereste...

Claude - I am glad you liked the Unlimited, because I am absolutely loving it.

Your set-up recommendations on Sunday has made it even better!!!

I have to thank both Gareth and Gary Fluitt for all their help and advice in choosing this "Ultimate Slalom Machine"

Comet Gary Cross - Stiff - no dents, dings or crashes - mint condition - new model Asking $75.00 plus shipping (would consider trade for an off-set) Pair of Boneless Park Knee Pads - Size XL - used once - All black - Open Back Asking $40.00 plus shipping. If you are interested or want pics - contact...

I just picked up a Comet Gary Cross and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on set-up.

I have been running a Narrow Race with Seismic 110 front and 101 rear with Stingers.

Would appreciate all advice related to trucks, wheels and wedging.

Thanks

Rob

Hey Everyone I am based in Toronto and just recently got into slalom. I am hoping that there are other riders out there who are interested in running cones, both training and racing. I am interested in starting a Toronto GRASS, but need others to be interested to make it a reality. Interested in cur...
