Very north Cyber
On 12/17/2003 Klangster wrote in from (129.178.nnn.nnn)

We are about 12 old fasts around 30-42 who rides every Tuesday. The surface is pretty dusty in the garage, but it´s warm. Outside it´s bellow freeeeeezing.

In the spring through summer we ride every wednesday, so on may 29th 2004(Paris) and on the 17th of September 2004 (San diego) there will be a pretty strong crew from EttSexEtt/Sweden

I hope to see all great legends and new stars like Bob Skolberg who I competet agains in 1979 to Michael Dong, who I never seen, on the start ramp. George Orton can skip a Downhill weekend and go slalom, why not. If you do, I go Downhill, vert s#@! I even go freestyle with you.

Till then, keep skating or get old and bitter.

If you go to the cyberslalom challenge page and sort on the date submitted, you will see that the Swedes are doing a lot of cyberslalom practice .....

Maybe the rest of us need to practice too?

Cyber Slalom listing page now shows rider's country
On 12/12/2003 Adam wrote in from (66.121.nnn.nnn)

From the webmaster..

I've just updated the Cyber Slalom Challenge page to show each rider's country next to his name. I've taken the liberty of filling in the countries I knew or could easily research from recent emails, but if you want to add (or correct) your country simply re-enter your latest time, this time including your country, and it will be added to your listing.

...and that's the AVERAGE of your times running each direction, with no cones down, right? Dang, those are sweet times!

I can do those too...but with a running start!

On 11/10/2003 strange wrote in from (62.253.nnn.nnn)

also I did alot of 'fake' slalom before I started timing (in and out of leaves, stones, ect.) so when I found out about cyber slalom I practised a bit before I started timing.

setup, surface, blah blah blah
On 11/10/2003 strange wrote in from (62.253.nnn.nnn)

I made the deck (me + a friend are setting up a board company), the trucks were originally united skates (but I altered the kingpin angle) the wheels were some shortboard ones that I made a bit softer with my special technique (boiling them dry!) I just use the road outside my house because its smooth and I'm used to the surface. I live in the uk

Strange Setup?
On 11/9/2003 Michael Dong wrote in from (213.121.nnn.nnn)

Strange,

What board setup did you use to achieve that great time? Trucks? Wheels? Surface?

Those are great times you are posting. It took me a while to get times that fast.

Do you live in the USA?

Michael

8.57
On 11/9/2003 Adam wrote in from (66.121.nnn.nnn)

Dear strange, Most people screw up by trying to enter the word "sec" in with their time. The system is expecting only numbers, no letters. I.e. "8.57" will work, "8.57 sec" will not. I see no sign of your recent attempts which tells me they're not even getting by the form edits. Also, the system only displays your lowest time, so if you enter a time higher than your currently displayed time it will be accepted but not displayed.

Nice time, btw.. it puts you in 3rd slot!

on 'cyber slalom challenge' then it won't let me post my new time; which is 8.57. What shall I do?
I reckon that MD will break the 7 sec. mark in the next few months!

Crud. Wish I could make BD and Worlds this year, but no-go. Got me some rubber wheels to race in the rain, too!

Dang that Michael Dong. Who's got odds on him or Vlad breaking into the 7's first?

Cyberslalomorama
On 9/12/2003 Ga. Tom wrote in from (209.240.nnn.nnn)

Thanks Jonathan......The Radikals are really special trucks. Very precise and easy to turn....I'm actually still in the adjusting stages. I've been an Indy rider nearly all my life. The difference in feel is huge. The superiority of Radikals for slalom use is immediately obvious. I've been doing alot of tight work with them on mellow slopes and they're working great, but no steep downhill slalom yet.

I haven't done cyberslalom is six months or so. It's time to get back on it.....My pump strength has diminished. Been spending too much time playing on hills :-)

Correlation/lack thereof between CS and race times
On 9/11/2003 Jonathan Harms wrote in from (165.134.nnn.nnn)

Thanks for the compliment, Ga. Tom. I'm stoked on the picture, because it makes me look better than I really am. Also, though you wouldn't know it from my race results, my times really are legit. Nonetheless, I've been beaten by more than a few of the guys with slower CS times than mine--like you! :-) I like cyber slalom, but most races are nothing like CS: variable surface texture, higher speed, offsets, and run on a *hill*. That's why I was so excited about the 1.7-meter race in Athens (bummed that we got rained out after one run); at least in that race I felt like I had a fighting chance. Plowing 5 cones on a course I typically run clean didn't help, though. You did a great job there. How are those Radikals working for you? And have you done any CS lately?

Cyberslalom in the "Show Me" state
On 9/7/2003 Ga. Tom wrote in from (209.240.nnn.nnn)

Nice pic and cs times Jonathan!

I experienced the same duro oddity back when I was praticing cs alot. Seems the board/truck/wheel set-up rules that apply to downhill slalom on asphalt don't apply when it comes to cyberslalom, or any flatland slalom for that matter.....OR perhaps I just need to alter my flatland technique a bit in order to go faster on harder wheels....My fastest cs times were on 86/82a cambrias. My 90/86a cambria times were slower...go figure....Also, my cs times on asphalt were consistently faster than on crete....Finally I just said screw it, it's only cyberslalom, hehe....But, love it or hate it, it IS good slalom training, no doubt about it....

It was great seeing ya in Athens! Hope to see you at the next race....West Virginia??

Thanks for the reply though -

Hi all - I just gave cyber slalom my first try and would like to post my time on the CSC page, but I'm not getting a reply to my access code request from the 'webmaster'. Any other avenue I can go down to get my code?

Thanks -
