I'm just going to throw out some ideas that have been going through my head. I think there should be a plan to move people to "pro" status. -If you are ranking in the top 5 (or maybe top 10) in ams for more than two years in a row you advance. -If you are on the podium for the top open bracket at ev...

Here is a revision. About 25 people showed up for the race. They got about two runs in and someone DID call the cops. Something about distracting the neighbors??? That cut off the lower half of the course. So they had to change to another hill. Not as fast but they got through it with no more troubl...

I hear that the race went off pretty well. They just did the downhill. Eric was sick and I have a home disaster going that may keep me from attending any races for awhile. I talk all about that on the silverfish. But this ain't about me. This is about a little race in Huntsville. From what I hear, a...

This whole event seems to be a dry run. A first attempt at putting on a race of any kind. I'm not sure how well organized it will be or what kind of turnout to expect. I'm going anyway. I think this event is a step in the right direction. They already have gotten more attention they expected for thi...

There is going to be a downhill jam event put on by Southside Skate shop. In addition their will also be a slalom jam as well. I'm not sure how big this is going to be. The slalom is sort of a side thing being put on by Eric Sanders. I have offered my services to help out. I think this will be more ...

Your welcome, Brian. Keep those innovations coming. I've been riding an earlier version of this board for the last half of 2008. It's a great board. The track system works well. I can adjust me wheelbase quickly with very little effort. I'm quite spoiled by that. It's a very well crafted board. Both...

Airflow at Cone Fest '08
There were quite a few racers running Airflows at the Cone Fest this year. I tried to get everyone together for a group photo but you couldn't get everyone to sit still long enough to do it. The feeling amongst everyone was very positive about the truck. A couple guys placed a little better than the...

Thank you, Lenny. I really didn't know I was going that fast on Sunday. I was just hoping I'd end up in top three on the B class again. Marcos' pushing me that weekend really paid off I guess. I'm still not happy with the set up I'm running on the RB but I will say that board was handling well that ...

I did pretty well on my Red Baron this past weekend at Cone Fest in Ashland, KY, if I do say so myself. I was less than .2 of a second out from getting a podium spot in the A class. Not bad seeing as how I had never run GS until Hobby Hill at Dixie Last year. This was like my second real attempt at ...

Boards with rocker?
I am currently skating this new custom board I just got and it has rocker. So far I'm really liking the ride. It's a pretty good fit for me. I was wondering about other peoples take on slalom boards with rocker. You just don't see them out there. here is a link to silverfish that has photos and post...

I went and looked at some today. My local shop actually had the 00. I was amazed. They did look nice and a great size. The bolt holes were a bit sloppy on the 00 set I looked at but the others looked okay. Didn't look like you had room for error on drilling "old school" bolt patterns on those base p...

I've been riding the Red Baron for a few weekend sessions now. Took me a couple sessions to get it dailed in but I have to say I like this board. It's a bit stiffer than what I had been skating. I also had been skating flat board for so long now that the concave and kick took some getting used to. M...

This sounds alot like my week. I have a good stretch of road down the street from me to set up. It's a mellow slope so it can be a bit slow. A few good pushes and some pumping around the cones and it can still be challenging. Not the best pavement. I can run up to 25 cones depending on spacing with ...
