anybody remember those ramps from the esc 2004 courtesy of our
good friend axel fischer.he donated those ramps amd we will overhaul them
a bit for the race,new color,smooth tranny and so on.

more to follow shortly...

does this mean blow up this thred
and repost everywere?

Well, we'll see...
Don, I need a front truck to match my other back truck that I have. Tracker RTX and a GOG don't communicate too well.
I'll try t give you a call soon.
Mission completed, GOG setup is complete.


Meanwhile, there is a Slalom startramp on ebay, but it's not the mega ramp.....LOL http://cgi.ebay.de/Slalom-Skateboard-St ... dZViewItem

saturday would be bettter...hint hint

Don' !

When the race is supposed to begin saturday ?!

( just to know if it's possibe to travel early sat' or friday evening... )

Fred.

Does it have anything to do with skating thru cones, then punching me in the dick, then skating thru cones? I might be back in frankfurt then. looking 50/50 right now.

hahaha
wild guessing around love that stuff
the way that thing will happen it will be a surprise to all and challenging too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laser cones!?

Hmm, I don't think that my Gucci sunglasses are the official certifite slalom race sunglasses??
But I have some ugly Oakleys from the early 80's. Do they fit?
