Where are you in Canada? we`re always looking for new people to ride with. Not a lot of stores carry slalom specific gear up here. I get most of my stuff online from the States. Bozi boards is on the east coast and have great customer service. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip, I dont plan on drilling it unless I know for sure it will be done right....I think I need to go visit my old high school shop teacher...I think he still works there. He basically lets my use it whenever I want. Helps to be a eager student sometimes. thanks for the speedy reply.

I find by toeside pump to be the strongest. I am using my rear calf to do all of the pushing and I just fell like its more powerful...but less stable. My wheels tend to lose traction more on the toeside, maybe this is the added power or just bad technique. I do have a pretty solid pump though.
