Shaggy, look up Carve Master's little picture and send one in will you?

I thought that I was posting the Vlad thing in the "Dark" forum. I looked for it after I posted and "it wasn't there". I posted it again and it still wasn't there. I hit refresh and looked in the main forums and found nothing. I got a couple of auto-response emails saying that I was "watching" that...

Adam Trahan

...and the crowd *gasps.* It is funny how TK's "Dark Side of the Cone" is the most popular thread here. I'm glad he came up with it. It's sort of a way to rip away, tounge in cheek. Chris, as bad as things have gotten, ncdsa.com DID get things going, brought a lot of people together. So now it's tim...

Adam Trahan

Good post UR13. Is that site really trying to clean things up for the advertisers? I think they should clean it up because it's a good challenge. Skateboarding teaches me to challenge myself, to think for myself NOT to be a part of the crowd, especially a crowd that thinks it's cool. It reminds me o...

Adam Trahan

...ahh, you caught me.

Today I am adam trah_n.

I'm almost afraid to make a joke.

*grin*

Adam Trahan

Yes, I know his name Vlad. I have asked him to submit it so that I can hook him up with the CMC and his full name. He has a lot to offer at this forum AND I must also follow the rules that we set, it got us this far and I would like to see it through. I understand the dynamic and I also understand t...

Adam Trahan

I just got off the phone with Dan Gesmer. What a really nice guy. I ordered a set of the 130mm and I also want a hat. Dan and I talked for a few minutes about skateboarding and the industry. He is a really neat person and for lack of a better term, I think he is one of the skateboard slalom "angles"...

Adam Trahan

Brady, Thanks for the insight. It is important that the GRS organization stand independant until they decide otherwise. We were approached by Hugh R and Howard Gordon to take responsibility for the GRS main web site organization. I think slalomskateboarder.com, it's subsequant registered users and d...

Adam Trahan

Idea: GRS Usergroup/Forums/Homepage. Would each GRS area benefit from having it's own usergroup, forum and homepage? We can make this happen relatively easy for each area. We can also make a area where people of a specific geographic can contact each other for organization quite easily. These are th...

Adam Trahan

There was the a prize at the last Farm race or a raffle for a Winterstick Severe Terrain snowboard. I arrainged for this and the sponsor has asked me about it. I wasn't on the scene so I told him I would ask you guys or TK about it. These guys support what we are about, can any of you let Winterstic...

Adam Trahan

Ok, I can dig the photo but what's his name again? I knew once and now I am on detective work.

Adam Trahan

I'm an old Apple enthusiast but at werk, it's PC land. There is merit in having Office where everyone has the same programs to use. At home, it's all Apples. Can you just post the URL here for us Apple people who aren't in the know? AOL? I'de say that is part of the problem Wesley, I can't fix it an...

Adam Trahan

Sam, I hosted all of your images, you can just change the last part that you named yourself to get the rest...

Hope this helps.

Adam Trahan

Wesley, I have the same problem when I use Netscape. The images overlap the content. Netscape is losing the race and I'm a big Netscape/Apple enthusiast. Go get the darkside (IE) and all is well...

Adam Trahan

Yup. But as UR13 noted, you can keep logged in by cliking the "keep me logged in" button. This is definately a little different feel, a slight departure from the old forum. It's not so much the forum as it is the version that we are making current. There are "plug ins" that we can integrate into the...

Adam Trahan

With this version, you have "View Posts Since Last Visit" which will let you see who has posted what since your ahh, last visit. The search function now becomes a search function. Regarding "users online" I'm sure that Jani can do it but he has gone through the mill doing this update. I realize the ...

Adam Trahan

Great job Jani.

I inderstand how much time and effort that this takes, my hat is off to you and I am familiar with this version in it's administration.

I will go to werk fixing what I can.

Best to you and all the rest.

adam

Adam Trahan

Cool.

Vlad, this is the type of kicktail that I was describing to you previously. Did I re-invent the wheel or did I have a good idea???

Does it werk?

Adam Trahan

I removed the post after warning both parties that their argument should remain offline.

It was interesting to read your perspective on British advertising and editorial, refreshing no less.

I don't like removing posts, I made a choice, I think it was a good one.

Best to you all.

Adam Trahan

Glenn, We have unlimited traffic, unlimited storage at http://www.slalomskateboarder.com I want you to feel free to upload what it is that pertains to the sport. I would like to suggest that you be efficient as possible though. You are the "staff photographer" here and it's your call. Feel free to u...

Adam Trahan

...Jani, as you know, my system is made up of two iMacs connected by a ethernet cable and then through a dial-up. What ever it is that you used as an example, it works well. I could get Glenn's to work but it was "broken" in that the main frame would not show. So to answer your question Jani, what y...

Adam Trahan

Thanks for the heads up Jani.

It is an exciting time in skateboard slalom, thanks for your enthusiasm and ability to make it happen.

If the forum goes down we are all going to hunt you down!!!

*grin*

Good luck and hope to see you in Paris.

Adam Trahan

...thanks for the pictures Glenn and Luca. The only thing special I see here is raw talent. Thank you for coming to California, U.S.A and teaching "us" a thing or two about skateboard slalom.

Adam Trahan

Yes, congratulations to ALL of you on your placement out West. I often read the DC area stuff as there is some neat reading on our subject within those threads. I don't post to them because my input is not applicable... There are a lot of people reading this site and are not registered users. The DC...

Adam Trahan

YEAH!

World class skateboard slalom racing!

It's like reading the old, ahmm, new issue of Slalom!

Now hopefully we can have a campaign for an international set of rules as in the ISSA, perhaps we can close the gap on interpretation...

Thanks for reporting Jani, I enjoy your perspective.

Henry, for a good paper, take Chris's advice. With a database, you can quiery it for a number of answers even beyond those of what you ask. slalomskateboarder.com would be willing to host your survey as Chris presents and the data would serve the community for entertainment as well as other reasons ...

Adam Trahan

Thanks for the thoughts Jani. I'll make the changes for the next sponsor as cited. The election idea came from my conviction to making the best site that I knew how while putting the wants of the community first. I've already tried to pass the torch to someone who I thought would be best and was tol...

Adam Trahan

Hey Rick, thanks for responding. If a member (registered) chooses to pay for the site costs, that's cool but I think it would be a good idea if the manufactures who are found at this site would offer first to foot the bill. It's a sort of advertising expense on a voluntary basis. I don't like having...

Adam Trahan

Ok, this is a sticky subject. I would like to ask for help in paying for the site. I spend a lot of time on it and I also have been paying for ALL of the site costs for the last year. No complaints but I would like to have the site pay for itself. SlalomSkateboarder.com site cost details. We are hos...

Chris (Bob), Vlad, Victoria et al.

My apologies for not paying attention, you have your forum.

Adam Trahan

The idea here is dialog. Looks like plenty of that going on. Gilmour has a good perspective on this and so does Jack, Vlad, Troy and Chris and there are others. I think Jack is listening... I also think M.Dong has a good view of this but who is going to be able to put a series on in the East? I don'...

Adam Trahan

Jack, *here we are all equal, this is TK's "Dark Side of the Cone" and you are now a part of it. I think your dig on Vlad is pretty weak. Can't you come up with something a little heavier?

*Read this thread with toungue in cheek.

Adam Trahan

Jack: I apologize for the profanity, really. I've got two young kids of my own and well, there are some posts here that I'm glad they won't be reading. I'll make the choice not to use profanity in the future. As an editor for a skateboard slalom racing website, I'm going to make a choice NOT to filt...

Chris, I read your post, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't worry what other people or web sites think or write about you. Do what you do, have fun and don't drag that shit over here. *grin* Tighter more technical courses demand faster decisions. I see a Tight Slalom course as a MUCH FASTER cours...

John, my little Elijah wants a turtle. Can you gather some information and send it my way? I'll delete this post then.

Thanks,

Adam Trahan

I think that John Ravitch would be an excellent choice as a nominee for skateboard slalom racer of the year.

I know John personally and he is a really nice guy. He represents the sport well, is probably THE most improved AND has placed well in many races.

Adam Trahan

...rules are a sticky subject, especially when it comes to skateboarders although skateboard slalomers realize that there must be some sort of rules. As long as I've been following the ISSA, it's always been a "rule" so to speak that you enter the course on the right. I'm a right foot forward skater...

Adam Trahan

Mike,

Send the pictures and we will take care of the details for you.

The FAQ on the upper right details the steps if your stubborn and want to do it yourself.

In the near future, http://www.slalomskateboarder.com will take on the responsibilities of the GRS web site and organization. Hugh will still be onboard and moderate as he has done in the past.

John, Vlad is heading up the effort on having a quality vinyl sticker like the logo above. It's a difficult project collecting the money for this as we are not a "business" so to speak. The funds are straight from our own budgets, right from our pockets but we will make the stickers available for th...

Fair enough.

I wanted to comment (positively) but I will keep it to myself.

I would like to say, "thank you" for posting this information. I will read the reference and become informed and enabled. When the time comes to vote, I will know more about the impact of my choices.

Adam Trahan

Thanks but no thanks. I pay less than $10 per month in hosting fees and $35 in yearly domain registration fees. This is my contribution to the community. I have received "gifts" here and there from kind souls within the community but I assure you, I am still paying more than I am receiving, this doe...

Hello Dave,

We can make a NJ forum if there is interest.

Can you explain to Mr.Springsteen that we are using our "real names" and to take a look at the memberlist to see examples of names not to use?
