I'm glad they are back on board. But what we get and what we deserve are two different things.....
Will we get free monster truck event tickets in our schwag bags????
Hasta, GBMII

Thanks to all for your efforts and hospitality. The race was great. I look forward to seeing pictures and video of all the epic skating. The Land of enchantment is also the land of skateboarding. What a rush, so much to ride, and so little time to ride it all. See you all next year, now git! Mitchell

Rio Bravo set up??

Andrew/et al; a long wheel base set Chicken wing works well. Although I've ridden Sector 9 Goddess board too. Harder duro Manx work as well as Gummies and Sector 9 Goddess wheels. I got a concussion riding 88a Strikers. No word on the ZigZags yet, but I'd bet they'd work too.... Randalls work and so do Radikals. Here's what Racer X rides....

Andrew, You just asked the million dollar question. Even the locals haven't quite figured that one out. A bigger slalom board works good, as does a more agile longboard or ditch board. Abe Towrey put in a competitive time on a standard street board with hard 55mm wheels, but he rips. The nature of the course has you asking that question all day long while you're riding it. At the top you want the agility of a slalom board to be able to pump and carve hard through the tight course. Towards the bottom, where it opens up and gets faster, you're wishing you had more wheelbase. And I still wonder if my times would be faster if I just rode a standard street board like Abe. Probably not.

I've been reading the slalom forum. What a bunch of crap. I think I'll head up to the Native American Institutional Learnign Facility Ditch (NAILFD) and get in a few licks. I have a shuttle driver if anyone is interested...................

Indian School is recieving its yearly clean up. The city does this every spring/early summer. Remember the blocks at the foot bridge and the red ones by my house? Both were victims of the cities cleaning efforts. No bobcats please, the city usually takes care of that as well. Also, we do not want any unwanted attention. Remember some of us live here!
