Do you actually think it will dry out on Saturday? Its almost 8:00 and it's still drizzling here.
I might think about skating on Sunday somewhere.

Sorry John, a trophy buck would be nice but I think I’m done with deer for the year. Duck season opens back up on the eleventh of December. I met a dude that’s got a blind on the Potomac, if the river don’t freeze over it might be a fun winter.

Its a shame that Vans is closing down. I only live only five or so miles away from the place and have only skated it a couple three times. Oh well, life goes on?

Hey Boswell, come get this 10-point buck I almost clocked yesterday morn...his antlers already have your name engraved on them! That was a close call...good thing this Hybrid Civic is used to going around cones!

Let's see,

6 cones per second would make the Cyber Slalom in 4.185 seconds. Michael Dong's fast time is 8.11 seconds. BUT, that includes a 15-foot run in and 15-foot run out. So that's 174 feet in 8.11 seconds.

So, let's do a little math: 8.11/174 = .0444 seconds per foot, or about .27 seconds per 6-foot cone. So, Michael did 6 cones in 1.39 seconds. (This is all averaged. No variation is made for acceleration from start to finish.)

In order to do 6 cones per second, Michael would have to shaveoff .39 seconds per six cones from his best recorded time. HOWEVER, let's not forget the Cyber Slalom is FLAT. So, would an increasing incline do the trick? Probably. Also, the Cyber Slalom is 6-foot. I would surmise that running 5.5 cones on a decent hill with an unlimited push start would result in 6-cones per second more than probable.

Shut up, Harms, it's nothing impressive.
Sheesh, the guy runs 5.8309037900874635568513119533528 cones per second and all of a sudden he cops an attitude. ;-)

Seriously, I'm just curious to see how different or similar it looks compared to, say, the 88-cone straight slalom at last year's West Virginia race--which, you might just recall, you won.

And maybe you've actually seen video of someone running a legitimate 5+ cones per second, but as far as I can remember, I never have.

On a slightly different angle: I've heard (actually read) Gilmour speculating about the possibility of 6 cones per second, but I've never seen any legitimate documentation of anyone doing it, even over a short course. Is 6 cones per second possible? If so, what sort of setup and cone spacing do you think would be needed?

The closing of the Vans park will be the end of an era, and probably the end of park riding during the Winter. Such a shame, and right before Winter hits us too.

Anyone know of an indoor pool we can drain?

What's the deal with the Vans park?
How can a place like that in a metropolitan area like DC/NOVA not be profitable??!!

PS...Think they'll let me have a halfpipe. Even the small one will do ;)

If anyone is interested, we're skating the SouthEast pool at 1:00pm on Sunday.
Also, in case you people haven't heard, the Van's park is closing for good on Dec. 31st. Get it while you can.
To keep this slalom related, um.....uh....

After I hung up w/ Coleman last nite, I was gazing at the moon and stars from bed and my dog alerted me something was up!! I raised my head to the site of 4 deer in my yard....Got out the nearest meat producer and dropped a 4 point that dressed to 100 + lbs... My freezer is gettin' full!!!! Long live the winter!
Gotta go write on some white paper, I was too pooped @ 3:00 this am to "classify"
Can you say ...tender loin for breakfast?
