Slalom

Thanks PC sounds like a lot of fun. See ya there.

She'll soon be mine!

I like sk8kings stuff, but their shipping is expensive.

shipping was $40. And that was for a set of zigs, heaps of bushings, hardware, trucks and the deck itself...seems alright to me...and i takes about a week to get to my door.

We have official approval for our closed road event!!! Nov 24th Perth WA Slalom racing!!!

Th road is wide enough to run a dual lane race. And hopefully we will get hold of some timing gear for single lane races. 

Great news Scott , if i can i will be over :)

awesome! if anyone does come from the Sydney area, could they bring the ASRA slalom timing gear???

Is this a good GS setup?

Board: Axe 3 ultimate

Trucks: 100 mm Gunmetal

Front:
Baseplate 50
+5 wedging
81a BS bushing cup washer
81a RS bushing flat washer
86a Zigs

Rear:
Baseplate 35
-25 wedging
93a tall BS bushing cup washer
93a tall RS bushing cup washer
80a Zigs

Yeah..about that, my DH setup has 25 inch WB anyway. Plus i just bombed my local 70kmh hill and the GS setup was heaps of fun, felt faster than usual (probably because the board is slightly smaller) and as for foot braking, i have a feeling that some people have over exaggerated, like Chinese whispers, one person says its challenging then the next says that its gnarly and so on. I'll bring both boards and decide when I've seen the hill in person.

ive just payed my dues so im ready to race ! im back first race since 81 so could be a bit rusty ! hope some of you over east crew can make it to jacks atack slalom !

I have to leave my car in Canberra from the 2nd October for the 2 weeks before the National Capital Slalom Championships while I fly north to see family. Airport parking is very expensive. Anyone have some place I can safely leave my car and skate gear? 

you could leave it at my house if you have to. Would be parked in front yard in Fraser (Belconnen area) but area is fairly safe. I have never has any problems

There is also a poll question on charlie. 
If people want a proper head-2-head slalom race at Monbulk, the day after BoarderX-St Kilda, on 17th November, then vote, otherwise the road will be used for a slide session.

There's still a chance we'll do slalom, we'll add it to the rego and if more than 10 people pay it will happen, if not we'll refund those that have paid unless they want to set up the cones themselves during the slide jam.   So as soon as they have the sign up on ASRA put your money on the table.

for Monbulk, 5 downhill, 3 slalom and 2 slide jam have signed up so far not enough for what looks like the last slalom of the year, come on guys and girls, have a dig!!!. Of the 7 people who have signed up only 2 have used there own accounts to pay, just how old is the field, no wonder some are crying about not being able to afford leathers but if guardians or others are paying I am sure they want their loved ones back in one piece.

Hey Guys!....The slalom scene in NSW is a bit quiet at the moment, should do an Allawah meet soon?

No Ben,  that is not a very good idea, down here in Victoria, we just banged out another two races at Yarra Ranges, and we were not counting on having any more NSW races diluting our VIC ASRA points!

I think Ben said 'meet' not race Bernie.

But that's is a funny comment. Is it suppose to be?

There is still a few days left to get set so you can stuff your stockings with NSW ASRA points!

 "Cones and Carols at the Church of Slalom"

Hurry up and get it in the ASRA Calendar, before I book the hill climb circuit at Christmas Hills for

"Santa's Sneaky Slalom-point Stocking Stuffer"!

1. When ben were you planning it

7 more days to get in the points calendar for 2013.

Thanks for the post re first aid Marek :)

World renown slalom pro, Paul Price is in Sydney for a while.

I'm looking at doing a slalom session/race on the central coast on sunday 25th May, so we can have a skate & catch up.

Venue will be at either Warnervale, 'road to nowhere' or our SGS & hybrid road from last year a bit further north.

I know it's short notice. It might not be a full on race, but a just a fun session & you get to skate with one of the top riders on the pro circuit.

I'll try to arrange a few prizes maybe.

Let me know if anyone is keen & your thought on the venue.

my new training timing system.

No chance this year sorry Dave.

Number 2 is due not long after that date and I need to be at home for Clare.

BTW

I'm formally NACCOS now. We moved to Maitland in September last year.

Can't beat em, join em! Ha!

Well faaaaaark me.

Like the plague that lot are. Cant get rid of them!

thought I would try some new wheels. Is it worth using the new wide wheels?

who is up for a slalom session/race on Saturday 14th Feb in Melbourne, Day after the Friday 13th banked slalom?

Daniel,

I think we can make that a plan.

How about Fawkner Park?

choices in a town with no hot mix.

Hey Dan, re wider wheels, Have you found them any good? I noticed Dave Miller was trying out some new wider wheels at Canberra, but he swapped back after a run or two. Even though they are older tech maybe,  I can't go past my retro Zig Zags, rear set are beautifully coned and buffed and always grip.

the wide wheels at the back work a treat if you have a fair bit of side load as in a coarse with a lot of offset  but they are harder work for tight slalom. I think for G.S and/or rougher surface the wider wheels feel safe more stable and still fast. They were the most successful and popular for banked slalom (front and rear) in Canberra. I think after Dave Miller did a few runs at Canberra he probably felt the weren't nimble enough. It was a fun to have a tight coarse this year for a change.

The Zig Zags were used by a few with no trouble, they just work, always.
