Marcos,
I understand you wanting to get the course set before the race. It bothers me that you bring up the Trade Street course, because that course SUCKED. The problem with that course is it went almost straight across the hill instead down and across the hill. It totally killed all of the speed and fun that the Trade Street hill has to offer. I think we can have a fun course to run with Kevin Dunne, Chris Chaput, Claude Regnier, and Jonathan Harms in Texas. I know Kevin is arriving fri afternoon and he sets nice GS courses. I will arrive on fri afternoon, but I am not sure when other people arrive.

Keith, Teams Radikal, CHIxILL & Oust.

I wanted to let people know I will bring some Radikal Trucks for sale. If you know what you want e-mail me what you need and I will make sure I bring it.

Marcos- If you want some input on setting a killer GS course, I'll be fying into Austin early Friday afternoon and would be glad to help out...our local hill, Pump Station, is also fast and long, and I have set quality GS courses there. If you utilize the terrain, you should be able to control speed as needed and let'em fly in a nicely balanced race course. Chaput could also add valuable input, but his flight usually lands 10 minutes before the start! Either way, it looks like a great hill and I'm sure it will be super fun...I know one thing for sure: The Texas Outlaws have got me scrambling around trying to find a board that is bigger than my standard GS rig!
Hey Kevin thanks for the help on the GS course. We would like to get the hill's course set by the 22nd though. Is there any advice that you can give now? That goes to everyone else out there input is great.
As Luck would have it . . .

I agree with Kevin and Keith. Keep it a GS, It can't be any worse than the Derby Hill or Trade street. We have a hill that is killer steep and long, it just takes some imagination.

I am looking forward to racing in Texas again and the hill looks like a great hill for a race. With that being said, I have to say I to do not want come all that way just to bomb that hill. 40-100 between every cone? It takes a lot more than just knowing a hill to set a good course especially on a hill like that.
Will the hill be blocked off?

Keith cant wait to have you here. With the length of the hill (1300 Feet) and the grade about 14.5%) I could not figure out a way to run anything other than Super G. Keep in Mind that I'm thinking something like trade Street here Although Out hill I WAY Longer. We are looking at gates on each side of the street. And Yes the hill will be blocked off although we will have to periodically let traffic trough.
As Luck would have it . . .

100 foot gates? That's only 15 turns from top to bottom! That looks like an awesome hill...but come on you guys...put some turns in the course! It's a long flight from Ca. for something that's over in 15 seconds!

Eddy and crew, have you set a GS course on the big hill yet. Who will be setting it for Saturday?

Hey Mike, Mathew Franklin and Ryan Smith run that hill more than any other of the Texas Skaters, they will be setting the course. And it will be a Super GS course. In my mind this will mean gates from 40 to 100 feet max. We are also recommending a board set with at least a 25 inch wheel base and 150 Trucks. Like is this picture Image

Here are two videos of mat going down the hill.

I know that I have posted these before elsewhere but best to cover all bases
