Premium Member Comment by Marek on November 19, 2011 at 19:45: BTW any suggestions for other locales in or near near Sydney welcome. Close would be good! My family are starting to ask who is that strange man with the skateboard.

Premium Member Comment by Marek on November 19, 2011 at 19:31: Yeah on a map it is next to Jensen's Tennis Centre. I'm kind of thinking it would be quiet on a Sunday evening. It does have a short steep section but quickly flattens out. I'll check it out for foot traffic tomorrow night and report back.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on November 19, 2011 at 19:19: Yep, I'm up for that Marek.

Are you thinking the main path that runs from Cleveland St alongside the basketball courts and tennis courts towards Chalmers St? If so, it's pretty busy - could be a bit chaotic. It's actually got a fair bit of pitch to it at the Cleveland St end - would be much faster than Stromlo.

Premium Member Comment by Marek on November 19, 2011 at 19:04: Sydney crew, who's up for some tight slalom practice in prep for Canberra? I have spotted a nice wide new path in Prince Alfred Park, between Cleveland Street and Central Station and it looks like it would be great to run a low key twilight session (path is well lit). I was thinking Sunday evening the 27th of November, about 7pm.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on November 19, 2011 at 12:15: The slalom rankings are now all up to date with all the 2011 races, and the MOSSers are dominating the field, save for for Sydneysider Marek in 1st and BMB Ross in 2nd.

Comment by Cents on November 13, 2011 at 19:40: The WFB riptides act softer than their rated duro. You may also need to stack flat washers or cut down a hard bushing >90 to make the riptide the same size as the stock reflex. I think I have 3 flat washers under my riptide boardside bushing - though using a cut bushing would be best as there is less play.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on November 13, 2011 at 17:58: Green Retro Reflex (76A) are good bushes however there's also Riptide who do as soft as 65A duro. Get yourself a few different to experiment with until you find your best combo.

Go with cones or barrels for the front. Nothing wide or chubby.

Don't forget to use harder ones for the rear truck say about 90A and lock it down tight. You don't want the rear to do the steering.

Use wider bushes, never cone shaped on the rear.

Comment by Louis Tragear on November 13, 2011 at 17:38: i know theres discussions on this but i am exceptionally light.

i am making a slalom board i have a set of bennets. one of the originally made ones from my mum (dont know if they make them differently now but they looks the same) i am a meer 38kg and am wondering what bushings i should chuck on em. any help would be much appreciated.
