Hey Joe, Great response, love it. Hopefully, its as fast as the batmobile. After talking with you and Fatboy, I decided against the stinger shape. However, I wanted something with a little flair. I used the shape of Ron's board but had the tail tapered and added the bat shape. He did a great job. It...

Paul Pellerin

Thanks Fatboy it looks too pretty to skate.

Paul Pellerin

Whew!! Thanks John!! Actually, I would be willing to throw in a few sets of wheels. Of course the Needham crew would be outfitted with the new ZigZags. The T-shirt idea is a great idea as well. Joe - No way that is you on the t-shirt - You are not that slim and the board doesn't appear to have any b...

Hey Karl,

Go for it!!! You have to step-up. PRP Racing has you covered. Let me know what you need or if I can help out.

Karl,

They posted the sizes a while back. The longer axel sizes are as follows:

5/8" = 76mm Hanger + (15.85mm * 2) = 107.7mm

3/4" = 76mm Hanger + (19mm * 2) = 114mm

1.0" = 76mm Hanger + (25.4mm * 2) = 126.8mm

Maybe this will help.

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 month...

Paul Pellerin

Derek, Thanks for posting. I to would rather ride bowls, but none are close enough to ride consistantly. Once a month is not enough. However, I took my two two nine year old nephews to Rye a while back and they loved it. One is dropping in on the middle crete bowl and craving a bit. We plan on going...

I'm running cones this Sunday in Portland. If any one is interested please post asap, e-mail or call my cell 207-838-6333. I just spotted this road a couple of weeks ago. Due to the rain, I have not been able to ride it at all. It appears the crew does not work on weekends. Only bad news is it opens...

Paul Pellerin

Derek,

When are you planning on holding another park race? Let me know if I can be of any assitance.

Did you see the new crete park built by Breaking Ground. It's located in Weathersfield, CT. The pool/bowl has tile and coping. This park looks like race material.

Paul Pellerin

Justin you took the words right out of my mouth. Ron - those boards look awsome. I really like your new board with the dark stingers. It reminds me of my old Sims - Taperflex (my first real skateboard). I have to have one of those. Congrats on your recent race sucesses. Another wooden board turning ...

Paul Pellerin

Joe, Karl is management material. Last weekend he had one longboarder and two flippers resetting cones and directing foot traffic. I don't think you will see a huge change in this area. Great idea Joe!!! Karl needs to take it to the next level and get other schools to form teams. The team shirts had...

Paul Pellerin

Karl & Bryan, My wife and I had a great time Sat. Rachelle really enjoyed being the timer. The perfect day, excellent asphalt, nice course and pumped up racers. It would have been better with a few more racers, but than again we may have gotten kicked out sooner. It was great to see Bryan and CMC ba...

Paul Pellerin

Karl, Cange in plans. I can't make it!! Just Kidding!! My in-laws are going to watch Gabbie tomorrow. It may add a little time to our trip, but it will allow us to stay longer. Also, I'll be more focused on racing as well. I will be there between 9:00 and 10:00am. I'll pick up the timer from the Cha...

Paul Pellerin

It's not working??

Paul Pellerin

Karl,

Nice chatting with you. I'll be there Sat. I just checked out the video of the this place again. Looks like a nice flowing course. Great motivation!! I spoke with Gilmour and he wants to attend the race. If he can adjust his work schedule, he is in.

See you guys soon.

Paul Pellerin

Karl, I forgot to mentioned that I may of found I great outlaw spot here in Portland. The city has built a connector road off of a bridge (4 lanes plus breakdown lanes on each side of fresh asphalt). Looks possible to run a duel TS and duel hybird. The road is closed at this point. The past two Sund...

Paul Pellerin

Karl,

Indian Summer is here!!! What about this weekend? Do it!! Hopefully, I'll have a new PPS TS prototype soon. Sick looking.

Paul Pellerin

Adam,

They are on way!! Enjoy. They will look great on your new Fatboy!!

Paul Pellerin

Karl, I will definately be there. I've been working 90hr weeks since the Farm, so we plan on a family day. Skate in the morning with the best high school slalom racing team in the country and hit the aquarium with Gabbie in the afternoon. Please post time, directions etc... ASAP. Let me know if you ...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Nick, Don't give up so easy!! This TS race is being held as a result of this years races being more loose and less technical. Also, the location is more likely subject to a bust than say Magnolia Woods in Gloucester. Therefore, it is not a good idea to set up a separate course for newbies. Karl ...

Paul Pellerin

Karl,

Thanks for the update. I'm glad you changed the date as I would not have made the race this weekend. Don't be lazy and post the race on the contest calender. Please post date, time and directions.

Thanks.

Paul Pellerin

Erin,

Khiro sells a box of various lenght bolts order direct or from Skatekings.com

Paul Pellerin

Adam,

I don't have paypal. Let me know what duro you want. E-mail me your address and I'll send them. Send me a check after you recieve the wheels.

Paul Pellerin

Adam, Yes postage only. I have not met you, but glad to see your so stoked on slalom. Duro's - off the top of my head I think I have 86-yellow, 82-green, 80-white and blue-78. I'm 100% sure of the 80-white. White is a great wheel, Ken Mollica loves this wheel and uses 4 for GS and HS. Also, it looke...

Paul Pellerin

Adam,

Are you still looking to buy a set of Avalons? I have a few brand new sets around. I'll make a deal with you, you reimburse me for the shipping and I'll send you a set for free. They don't come any cheaper.

Congrats on winning the most improved racer this year. Keep up the good work!!

Paul Pellerin

Ron, I think you're right about Joe and clams. In fact he attended this festival a few years ago. I better not introduce him to my home-made clam cakes. They are the size of small whoopie-pies and yes we dig the hen clams. Karl I told you they would rally and now you have a timer. It's on!! You and ...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Joe, Nice to hear from you. The last dam race looked like a lot of fun. It's awesome to see such a large turnout. I saw Leo's pictures of the race. Is that your little Nick attacking those cones? It's amazing to see the change from just a couple of months ago at the Farm. He looks a lot more con...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Karl, Great video and music as well!! You guys are ripping. After wathching the video I was dying to go out and skate tight cones. More motivation than the Dog Town movie. Looks like a great place to race. Don't give up on the season yet, I'm just about over the hump work-wise. I'm buried until ...

Paul Pellerin

Thanks Wes. I don't have the board yet. It should arrive today along with a Roe Bonita - Foam Core. I will test them out this weekend. The board I'm looking at is a Retro, as it was made in 2003. I was thinking about using it for the G/S at the Farm. I'v been slaloming for less than a year, so stabl...

Paul Pellerin

Has anyone ridden this board? Please provide your comments.

Thank you.

Paul Pellerin

Karl & Bryan, I agree with Jim. You guys just keep getting faster each time I see you. Nice. The hill and asphalt look great. Is the hill's location easy to get to coming from the North? I really need to have an intense practice session before the Farm. I have lots of new slalom euipment to try out ...

Paul Pellerin

Glenn, Derek, Karl

When is the next weekend practice session?

Paul Pellerin

Rob,

Rats!! So close. Thanks for posting even if it's bad news.

Robert,

Is the board still available? If yes, please post pics.

Thanks.

Paul

Paul Pellerin

Glenn & Crew thanks for organizing and producing a great race. It was my first race, but it seem to go smoothly (other than the heat). Everyone of you that I skated with from last fall looked much faster and smoother (Glenn, Ben, Millie, Derek, Byran, Karl, and Henry J.) Congrats!! It looks like I'm...

Paul Pellerin

Derek, Unless I'm dead, I'll be there Sunday by 10:00 am at the latest. Do you need any extra cones (100 new red)? Let me know if I can be of any assistance with running the race (resetting cones etc...). I have new cambria's and pleasure tool bearings if you need them to set up extra boards for the...

Paul Pellerin

Eric, Thanks again for the info, huge help. My wife checked out a few places and will book a room today. We can bring the child and the dog so its a go. I believe its the inn closest to the race. Yeah!!! I finally get to skate. Now I have to practice a bit before next week. Derek, We are heading to ...

Paul Pellerin

Eric, Did you find any information regarding lodging? We are thinking about heading to Vermont on Sat. late morning. If I arrive early enough, I will skate the hill as well as the pool. Per the map, the pool's location looks like it is close to the hill. Then again, maybe I should wait to skate the ...

Paul Pellerin

Derek,

I would like to skate on Sunday. Let me know what time.

Thanks.

Paul Pellerin

Glenn,

When is the next practice at Magnolia? What about this weekend?

Paul

Paul Pellerin

I will be there. Please provide directions from 84 East (hopefully avoid driving through the North End). I worked in Hartford from 1987-1990, but there has been substatial changes to the highways around Hartford. Thanks

Paul

Jani,

How much is the total cost for the timing system ($250 clock only)? I'm new to slalom and the only one in my area. John Gilmour suggested purchasing a timing system for practice. I would purchase one if reasonable.

Paul Pellerin

I'm willing to try. It sounds like fun!! I need to start going to old man night as well. Is anyone going this Wed? I really need to skate. When does Newburyport close for the winter? I took my first slam on a slalom board the other night. I pratice pumping on a smooth and flat surface in my office p...

Paul Pellerin

I'm not sure if I can make it for Sunday. My wife's mom had an operation this week. It did not go well so I may have to watch Gabbie.

I will post Sat. afternoon to let you know. I hope to see everyone on Sunday.

Paul Pellerin

Sunday was a lot of fun. It was my first time seeing dual slalom. It was fun to watch. I was amazed at the speed near the end of the course. You guys looked great!!! I hope I can improve enough to compete with you guys. I set up cones yesterday for a short practice. Most of my time was spent sweepin...

Paul Pellerin

I will be there unless my wife has made other plans. Post directions from Portland,ME so I can plan the tripp. I'm thinking about coming down sat. night & staying at a B&B. We need a break from our daughter. Let me know if you need cones. I have 100 (new) bright-red 3dm cones. Glenn Help!!! I can no...

Paul Pellerin

Terry, I hate driving to Boston as well, but sometimes it must be done. I'm coming from Portland, ME, so we could meet at Portsmouth circle or Rye Airfield and take one car into the city. John has another session planned for Sunday, which I plan on attending. Let me know if you plan to attend. Best ...

Great idea!!

Paul Pellerin

Derek, I'd like to slalom this weekend. Hopefully, the location is a little closer to home. When you say Hampton, is that North Hampton, NH? That would be easier for me and the family. Also, may need to borrow a board or maybe just the wheels if the front truck comes in by Friday. As of Sunday, John...

Paul Pellerin

Hey Glenn, Ben, Millie, Matt, Karl & Henry, It was nice to finally meet you guys. Thank you for a great day of skating. I had a blast. The park is a great place to slalom. I appreciate the use of the board, your encouragement, and training tips. Hopefully, we can skate again soon. I need to improve ...
