I'll second the question Adam asked, I've been looking on the web for "axle rod" etc. for the raw material to do just what Adam is describing, take out the stock axle and replace it, but so far, I can't find the axle material I would replace it with. Anyone have a pointer to where one could source s...

Good 'ol Hobby Hill. I've got unfinished business with that bitch.... Nice looking outlaw spot Wesley. Tight slalom I presume? "unfinished business with that bitch...." Me too Tom, Me too. Now that my blurred vision is completely healed...She owes me $75 for a perfectly good helmet! I'm throwing do...

I'm not sure who's crazier, SST, the coffin run, slalom on a crutch, or DEX for chasing him with a camera. Great stuff!

Ron

WT, Yep I know about Tom's race, I already sent him an email - but a head injury is nothing to mess with, and second impacts to those with concussions can be fatal. I've got to play it safe, and let my brain heal up. It's remarkable how well I am doing really, but I've had a dull headache for over 2...

Ron, After crashing myself and hearing about geezer-X's crash, I posted on the other site a few weeks ago about the new Giro Remedy. I inquired Judi O. about purchasing a new Giro "Remedy". You are correct the Remedy is replacing the Mad Max. However, the Remedy will not be available for a few mont...

Last I heard, Bell bought and owns the "Giro" helment company. Giro was providing a little too much competition.

Marty, I'm already checking into it, and it looks like the "Mad Max" I was wearing was discontinued. Not much available on the web right now - the site I purchased from before was http://www.jensonusa.com All they have is closeouts in Small size at $50. The replacement appears to be the Giro "Remedy...

Thanks Tom Thompson for the inspiration and skating tips. Nice call on the bushings for Sunday. Marty - thanks for the call out on NCDSA. We are quite a pair, and you are rockin the A group bro, it's just a matter of time now and you'll crack the top. 66: I didn't make my best run in practice. Thank...

Here's all the video I got over the weekend. You'll notice large gaps, I got busy racing and didn't get to shoot any. Almost no GS runs recorded...but...I did get Marion's Downhill runs included: http://65.6.149.248/dixiecup.htm The link for the video is down at the bottom of the page. If anyone wan...

I ordered an Unlimited earlier this year. It's as you suspected, two set's of holes at the back of the board. I can't really speak for Roe, but mine was about 8-10 weeks.

Ron

Here's the concave:



Ron

Chris -

The concave is about 1/2 inch deep on the Axe II. What I mean if if you put a straight edge across the board at the concave section, and measure in the middle, you'll get the 1/2 half inch.

Ron

Mig, Sorry you aren't going to make it to NC for the DHB race. It's going to be a good race, and I won't have to run the Giant Slalom on my short AXE this time. Hey, see those yellow wheels... I got that idea from you Mig. Hey - saw your video recently of you guys riding, you were flying (on the yel...

I though some of you might enjoy seeing a side by side and comparison photo of the new AXE II along with the older AXE deck. Here ya go! Side by Side view: http://bellsouthpwp.net/n/o/norneslo/axe2%20800.jpg AXE II on top, with rear mounting hardware lined up: http://bellsouthpwp.net/n/o/norneslo/ax...

STOKE! (Left over from Marion's 55 gallon drum.)

Ron

Marty -

I just needed about 30 seconds more after sending that previous post to change my mind. We'll head up tonight for the exact reasons you listed!

Besides, if it's not raining, I can roll out of bed, and get a early start on the 2000 runs.

Ron

Marion,

I'll was planning on calling Marty before we left this afternoon, we can check the weather conditions and possibly postpone driving up until morning if it looks like it will be wet in the morning. Crummy weather here too.

I'll definately update you on any changes to the plan.

Ron

Marion,

Marty and I got hooked up on the phone today, we'll be heading out of Atlanta/Lawrenceville at about 6pm.

See you tomorrow

Ron

Marion, I think Tom is coming up on Friday, but probably will arrive later than Marty and I. Marty and I are still planning on a carpool, but Tom had emailed us that he could not get away from Dublin as early as he would like and would go direct. Hey - you don't happen to have a pet cat do you? I'm ...

Marty - Depending on Tom's schedule - your plan sounds fine to me. Leave Friday, skate all day Saturday (2000 runs recall...) My Roe shipped and should be here soon (in time for Saturday for sure). I'll get out of work early and make way to your house to drive out of town. Once we here from Tom we'l...

Marty - No Roe as of 5/24 - maybe today. I did get email last week from Gareth asking if I had received it yet - so I suppose that means he shipped it... As to travel to NC - I agree car pooling makes a lot of sense - I can drive if you guys want, only 76K miles on my 95 Saturn. (and 30mpg HW) Frida...

The date looks good for me. I've got it open on my calendar.

RonO

Tom - I've got a big motorcycle ride on Saturday with my Dad, and my two brothers, but I think I can make it. I'm not firm on the moto plans yet... and... I still don't have a real slalom board - Mr. Roe is making one as we speak with my name on it. I'll have to ride my pintail again - it's all I've...

Marty -

See you tomorrow 1pm. Look for a guy in a 1995 Green Saturn Wagon.

Ron

Marty -

Could you post some directions? Thanks,

Ron

All - I've been lurking here for probably 6 months, reading along and not really taking much action. I was a slalom rider in the mid to late 70's and still have the board a rode then, a pristine Fibeflex Pro-slalom with Trackers and OJ slalom wheels. I've ridden from time to time over the years, and...
