Posted: **Wed Mar 03, 2004 12:37 pm**

I had replaced the kingpin on a Tracker RT-S in order to place thicker bushings on it, basically I attempted a longer kingpin. The slam, munch, eat , splat looked worse than what it really was. Eddy Texas Outlaw.

And what brand front truck might that be that you'd break a kingpin while slaloming?

Hope your shoulder is ok Eddy. Time for shoulder pads, talk to Fluitt and Dong.

I'd like to apologize. The post here that I have since deleted was not appropriate and was out of line. It was posted in frustration over something that happened at a WLAC slalom event. I have since talked by phone to the person I offended and apologized personally to them.

Slalom is like a perfect wave only the soulful should ride it... Slalom is like riding you mountain bike thru the forest only the adventurous should do it ... Slalom is like snow skiing thru tight gates of powder at speed... Slalom is like riding your dirt bike across the desert dodging cactus... Slalom is like surfing Waikiki around tourist on a crowded swell. Slalom is like RUINED by you no respect crybabies who just don't get it... Slalom is suppose to be fun!! FUN! FUN !! FUN !!! I don't race slalom anymore but I live it, I coach it, I like it, I promote it... I say bury it and bring it back when the disease is gone >>>>>>>> I'll wait and do it again.. Underground racing is the future only real people need attend!

Tight gates of powder? Did I miss something?

I, along with the help of Jani Soderhall, John Gilmour, Henry Hester, Jack Smith, Terence Kirby, Howard Gordon and many other slalom enthusiasts put together this web site to promote skateboard slalom so it wouldn't die or go underground to be reborn again. We put it together with an intelligent approach and nothing less.

I think the above quote says alot and at the same time, it says nothing.

You decide for yourself what slalom skateboarding is to you.

If your name is one on the list above and you want me to remove it, private e-mail me or message and I will remove it no problem, silently.

Quote of the Day " DUDES RATTLESNAKE " interesting how a nine foot rattler will make a bunch of skaters take off pumping in different directions. Including yours truly. Eddy Texas Outlaw.

Here’re my 6 quotes for the day to help fight the fire.

Respect is earned, not bought.

What seems like a good short-term deal might end up being a disaster in the long run.

What comes around goes around. Hatred is not an exception.

If you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, you’re probably wasting not only your own time.

It is up to the industry to decide what and where to advertise. It is up to the customers to decide what and where to buy.

People who say “Bomb for peace!” on one site and then ask “Why can’t we all just get along?” on another site know exactly what they are doing.

"I still think its sad that a few manufacturers and promoters in the US slalom community are used by one person for his own psychotic tirades. If they want respect they should publicly tell him to stop propping himself up using their work to attack the very people they supposedly support.

It's easy to stand back and criticize the 'fans' of the flame. If you really want to stop the 'fire' go right to the source."

Slappy.

A funny quote story from Morro Bay:

It was Sunday afternoon in Morro Bay and the suspense from the tight slalom was starting to get high. Slowly photographers and cameramen took their place 10-15 meters after the finish line. David Hackett was in place in his chair with his swollen foot and video camera. A sight we had all got used to by now, after 3 days of competition. Behind and on the sides of him others had joined in with cameras to get those final runs. Steve Olson also had joined the group to cheer up his friend David a little. Those guys are really funny together and half of the joy of the finals was just standing there with my camera listening to some of their smack talk. But more of this later on in another story from Morro.

It was the pro semi finals going on and Mollica and Gilmour had just run over the finish line in their second run. It was very close and no one knew the outcome. I had my camera rolling and got in front of Mollica and Gilmour when they slowly walked back up the side of the course. They both waited for the final announcement while talking nervously with each other. The final judgement took time and each second felt like a minute. I was still walking backwards in front of them with the camera in my hand. Finally it came. The winner was Kenny Mollica. He had beaten John Gilmour only with a few hundreds of a second.

- Hey man, what about this quote you promised us?
- Sure, hold out. I'm just there.
- That's what you always say...
- Ok, just let me continue.

Now suddenly I was halfway up the course and the next race was about to start. The junior final. Quickly I turned off the camera to run down to take my place among the others again. I could hear the preparation for the start of the next heat. Once down there I had just the time to think, "Yes, I made it!", before I heard Steve Olson say:
- "Corky! You passed the finish line!"
They where using these infrared things for measuring times. I responded in chock...
- "I did? Oh, shit!"
...well aware of the complete embarrassment if I had done this while the junior final was under way. Luckily, when my eyes looked up towards the start ramps, the boys where still standing on them. Huh! Steve continued:
- "Corky, you can't pass the finish line EVEN though you are a camera man."
Relieved that my stupid mistake hadn't caused any big harm...
- "No, you're right ...pause... Did anyone get my time?

No response. They probably didn't know if I was joking or not. Do I need to tell I was quiet as a mouse after that?
