Good stuff.
I'll forward it to Victor Luke in NYC who owns a recording studio- and helps run the inline scene down there- mainly the Inline Dance at the Dead Road in NYC- also to Francis Valentine at Cheap skaters.com- who used to supply me with racing wheels for skateboard slalom (essentially Stradas- ultra high duros for rollerskate racing) and to Josh of Boston who helps to run the Memorial Drive slalom course. Also to John Sullivan the fastest USA inliner in slalom. Those above guys were the best USA inline slalomers we have.
I never really did inline slalom- I just did one foot inline since it was similar to what I can do on a board- though I did win a competition I entered last minute- but they were using stopwatches so who knows how accurate that is.
The guy in the video is using very tight distances- tighter than we run in the USA. South Beach Florida Inline course uses about 6 foot centers.
