Nice 1, Leo.

If you're staying at the Summerfields Suites you can likely arrange for pick-up and dro-off check with them for the scedule to Shady Grove station.
It's a nice short train ride.

That is what I used to take the transit to the bus terminal to get back to Canada.

Claude Regnier

As long as he's smilling ! Thanks for the offer, I'll let you know as we get closer.

I still haven't done a mapquest to see exactly where I'm heading or routes yet.

Claude Regnier

Mike great thought on two different courses. One the point of racing two different courses and also making the event fair and equal. Taking into account distance traveled and measuring both lanes and all that as well. Would it be simpler if the curves in the course were the only section set differen...

Claude Regnier

Kevin, I had the chance to ride the Unlimited the day TK received it from Gareth. (I think it may have been the Prototype PVD or both) I find them comparable as TK's board is a little softer then my BR. Accelerating was quicker but (Unlimited) I don't think over the length of that particular course ...

Claude Regnier

The Venue looks great Gary and I hope your feeling better. I'm not sure where you plan on making the start from the photo bit I tend to agree with Andy about the particlar venue being used as a single lane event. I doubt I will be there unfortunately. :sad: Most of my practicing has been on curved b...

Claude Regnier

This is a good move Henry. It may now make it a little easier for me to attend as the G3 is the following weekend and I could make it all into one trip. I also have many Slalom set-ups that I will try to bring for the event. Now if the God's can lend a hand I can include Catalina before the sk8park ...

Claude Regnier

This event is no longer to be run by Russ in case some of you did not receive any further info.

I'm not sure who is doing it and have no news as to whether Slalom and Freestyle will be part of the program.

Claude Regnier

Hey Pierre do these boards have anyhing to do with the one you talked to me about last summer.
Send me some info.

Claude Regnier

Yes Ohm, sometimes there are exeptions to the rule. Most of the races are run on venues that are not even ridden regularly. Kenny skated great and deserved his win. No doubt. I was at the bottom with BP watching it all. It looked like he running away from everyone. It is not always the case. There a...

Claude Regnier

Well this has certainally gotten very interesting :lol: . You all have your own opinions and this is the place to make en, that's for sure. I think the most important element as per "course details" is wether you can show up and and expect to race a TS -GS-SGS- Hybrid- Special Slalom- Longboard - Ba...

Claude Regnier

Gee'z Tway are u sure. It looks a lot like here in Canada.

You aren't kidding us are you? Where exactly do you have the cam mounted? Do u use it in chat rooms? Does Kenny? ooooooooooouuuh!!! :roll: :lol:

Claude Regnier

Henry, I'd be interested if it were feasable for me to make the trek. Send me some more info as you get it.

If I'm available it would be a lot of fun. I'm sure others would also like to help out and the idea is a great way to build the sport.

Claude Regnier

Perhaps that was a little strong. I do know that several key racer do not like some of the stuff going on but simply refuse to state it. Perhaps someone else relays it in their own way. I don't know! I agree that Jack was open minded about La Costa and am sure it was the same in other situations. Th...

Claude Regnier

I agree Mike about not blaming winning or losing on a good or bad course. Although a lame course is always going to produce a victor until enough people are brave enough to tell the organisers they simply don't like the course. There will crappy course or parts thereof to race on. Right now from wha...

Claude Regnier

Hey Scott1

Good to hear it. I've forwarded some onfo to Dan so by the time you get back to Vancouver he should have some stuff already and waiting for you.

Have a safe trip home.

C-YA

Claude Regnier

Nice to hear from you Dan. There is still a slim possibility I may be going to Vancouver in July to work in a sk8 camp. Recent events locally have put that into a question mark. Something in August may be makeable for me. I also have a few former team members in the area who may apt to join in. I wi...

Claude Regnier

Sustained, no I doubt it as well. At that rate of speed if you maintained it for say 10 to 15 cones it may only be for 2.5 seconds. Hitting a top speed of 30 mph is possible under the right circumstances, hill and course. That's not very long. It 's does require a hell of a lot of quick movement how...

Claude Regnier

I am presently working on a proposal to expand my curent learn to Sk8 porgram. It will ru approximately five weeks at one of the local parks. This year I plan on introducing Slalom, freestyle, lonboarding along with the street and ramp programs. I will also advertise for for Adults aw well. Last yea...

Claude Regnier

Arab last post on the subject bacause as u like to say facts are facts. There is only one guy from that race that I moved ahead of with my improved run that I have not since defeated or raced and that is Pierre Andre. Oh Yes, I haven't raced Brian Martin either but we all know how he did in Morro in...

Claude Regnier

Arab what's Canada got to do with other then me being Canadian. I guess your still drikng and never stopped if you don't remeber get smoked in the second run. Unfortunataly in trying to make up the 1.5 DQ time I hit 7 cones. You were approximately 30 to 40 FEET behind at the finnish. It wasn't even ...

Claude Regnier

FCR didn't run LA Costa. By the time I noticed the error it was too late anyways. On our way back up the we chatted and i didn't figure I had beaten you by enough so it never bothered croosed mt mind until I seen the recorded errors. By the way I don't complain much at all. West Virginia is a case a...

Claude Regnier

Well I never went in the back door.

Claude Regnier

Probably because guys like u exist, I guess ?

Claude Regnier

Arab unfortunately you are as blind as a bat. Had you been to that race you would have it was the same for everybody and the rest was just bullshit. Were talking Slalom here not events. By the way I made 3 events last year in cali. Then there was ny first race in 11 years where unfortunately (right ...

Claude Regnier

Maybe we could find some backing and plan a travelling crew to Tour between events. it's thier job to skate around the World. They also compete in Major comps for the Growth of the sport. It would take a combined effrot and representation from all available sources. Visit skateparks and ski resorts ...

Claude Regnier

So this all leads to an interesting question. It has a relation to Arab's (God Like posts on da oder site) once the West Coasters start to get their asses kicked again are they going to packup the store again. We know that only a few will spend their own dime and take time to attend events outside o...

Claude Regnier

Unless of course you want to drive out there but this time I may not come back right away.

Claude Regnier

Sorry Andy we looked for best ashphalted areas more then anything else. I think. Anyhow I have a question for anyone attending the Gathering from the DC area. If by chance I make it to the G3 and am also able to go to Catalina for the FCR race the following weekend is there anywhere I could park my ...

Claude Regnier

Your not alone Noah!

Claude Regnier

Dan that is my point exactly. There was quite a difference in the wind at Avilla on both the Friday and Saturday events.

On both days the AMS raced faster times then the Pros but in head to head at the same time I doubt it would have been that close in some cases.

Claude Regnier

[ This Message was edited by: Claude Regnier on 2003-02-04 18:16 ]

Claude Regnier

Sorry Glen I kind of disagree. I think an AM "A" class should ride the same course as the Pro's. These are the up and comers and they should be able to measure their talents accordingly. I think if the purses were to grow substancially, you might see more guys move up quicker. I'm mean in terms of p...

Claude Regnier

And yet Chappy looks so Natural.

Claude Regnier

Sure wish I could go kick some butt but I cant' for a few reasons.

So I hope you all have a great time and sk8 safe and fast as hell.

Claude Regnier

So John just before you stop drinking answer the private message will you!!!! :lol:

Claude Regnier

Congratulations Cabbage, glad you enjoyed it. The results speak for your skating ability.

You always represent everyone well.

From DA NorthEast, EH!

Claude Regnier

Hey Pierre, I haven't done any yet. I figure I may be able to get some a bit of practice in by the time your comp comes up.

We'll see.

Claude Regnier

No Wes that 30 was hit right here at home on a fairly well sloped bike path. It actually only came back to memory when John mentioned Radar Gun. I guess getting the ticket would have been good after all,eh! On flats I don't think I ever hit more then 25 mph. Maybe a little less, all I know is I coul...

Claude Regnier

Perhaps but possibly only because no one else was clocked at max. I'm sure several racers could attain this mark under the right circumstances. I certainally don't expect to hit it agin at this point in my life. Obviously some of the hills in Cali could host such an attempt. We're we not clocked in ...

Claude Regnier

No problem Pierre, I'll go down ahead of time to look at it and talk about what you want to run.

We'll set it all up, it'll be a blast. heck if I find a set-up I may even enter the Downhill.

Claude Regnier

Yes, hill or course management is key anywhere you plan on setting a course. For example if you wanted to set a socalled tight course at say La Costa and use most of the hill you could - start with some 7' slight offsets then bring it into some 6 foot straigths a say 6' then (as speed increases)your...

Claude Regnier

So your coming back soon scott. Let ma know there is a chance i may go to Vancouver in July to do a sk8 camp with one of my shop team riders. Shnitzel's race is also in July so I may try to take in the downhill as well. I don't think I'll compete in it unless i get leathers, Ouch. I seen the vids of...

Claude Regnier

Radar Gun, yes, 30 MPH one time on a bike path. The officer on the road was trying to figure out if there was a speeding violation but couldn't come up with one. Lucky me. This would of been about 6' OC. It could have been less, I very rarerilly ever ran anything longer then 6. A lot of my courses d...

Claude Regnier

I sent an E-mail to Shirley. She replied and is doing fine. She was thinking about doing some Slalom again (she still has her old set-up) but has another interest that is going to take up too much of her time for now. No word on Jim at this point, I am awaiting a 2nd reply. By the way if there is no...

Claude Regnier

I agree with Richy on the setting then tweaking them to make them better. Bring cones in and out in order to accelerate where possible and maitain your speed and increase it through the next series and so on. I liked the SF hybrid course Sundays was Okay but I had never ridden anything like that. La...

Claude Regnier

I'm with Andy and Henry. I met Jim in 81,82 and 86. Evans won in 82, Korten I think got 3rd maybe he knocking out Rick (Ick). I had qualified fifth and that was it. In 86 he was running the Slalom event for CASL. He had to calm me down when Jose Dematos showed up and started taking runs. After seein...

Claude Regnier

Hey Scott, was that the 79 contest where Kevin Harris set was setting the 2 board spin record? I just got an e-mail from one of the organisers they are looking for some info to try and get it recognized by Guiness World records. On another note as of a few minutes ago there were 4 Canucks entered at...

Claude Regnier

I'm not sure Neil, I'll ask around and check it out for you. I never met him but seen Rick in Vancouver in 81.

By the way, how much of the Expo contest did you see?
