THANK YOU BLAIR WATSON
On 9/24/2008 donald20 wrote in from Germany  (88.77.nnn.nnn)

there has been a poll on snb forum
and blair watson helped us to get 2nd place
first place is a tie between rads and bennetts
surely worlds best trucks so far
gogs are followed by gullwings which are also supercool racing trucks for sure.
splitfires seem to suck a bit,only 4th place.

i don't see airflow rears in the poll,they must be really s#@!ty.

we feel very bad about the dangerous flaws in design and especially me,i want to say thank you my bro blair.

keep on the good and investigative work and research you are doing.
slalom needs people with such explicit knowledge posting the truth and just the naked truth on forums




Slalom
1) Radikal - tie - Bennett
2) GOG (dangerous flaws in design)
3) Gullwing SL2002
4) Splitfire
5) Ace
6) Gullwing Phoenix
7) Indy Stage I, II, III
8 ) Seismic
9) Lazer
10) Tracker

Slalom in Brazil
On 9/19/2008 Thiago Gardenal RATOS wrote in from Brazil  (200.232.nnn.nnn)

Cat talked all, those who opt for better use the best. The problem of staff here in Brazil is not having money to pay a very expensive material, as if to see a material Slalom as Shape Pavel and trucks GOG leaves around U.S. $ 2.000,00 and here in Brazil we have shortcomings, we Sponsors provide this material.

I am sad to see this fight between nations.
I have my Shape ChillHill won, which was in 3 of the Autodromo Interlagos, I am very grateful to Chris Favero which can make this opening to the sport and PAVEL also giving a helping Kako Max my big brother.

I only hope that this will not interfere in future international competitions.

What matters is riding a Skate with friends and enjoy the montão.

Thank you for space.
Thiago Gardenal RATOS / ChillHill

well i've already bribed their chinese and korean connections,i had the micro disk smuggled in across the border in one of my vietcong hookers,it's being downloaded right now and we're gonna blow up their explosion because my milling machines have the same software controls as the brasilians except our prototype machines are powered by underage viet children on pedal bikes,so we won't be nearly as effected by any spike in energy prices. The battle of the international corporate slalom supergiants is on.Oh yeah ,we're gonna avoid those annoying german import tarriffs by smuggling in the finnished trucks by airdropping them into the black forrest in bails of contraband sauerkraut

Trucks in Brazil
On 9/15/2008 JamieM. wrote in from Canada  (67.70.nnn.nnn)

Brazil has way less stringent copyright/patent protection laws. Ask the Tracker guys about it!!!! They are even using the Tracker logo! Not much they can do about it either, sucks donkey dicks!
I do think these guys are full of s#@!. The market is soo small it doesn't really make financial sense. I would be ripping off CNC DH Trucks if I were them. I'm actually surprised there aren't some already on the market.

copying product
On 9/15/2008 herbn wrote in from United States  (67.83.nnn.nnn)

that is really low,really just unimaginative and stupid. i also don't think it's as easy as these brasilians may think. I could be wrong, if you have alot of money it might be easy, but then you wouldn't have to do it. If they're openly talking about it on a website it's probabely just bs,like a bar room conversation complete with blueprints on the napkins, and they're not really gonna do it. If they were really gonna do it ,you wouldn't hear about it ,it would just be done . i doubt randal heard about the copies.

Interesting notes, Donald.
It figures that might happen.

Bootlegging
On 9/14/2008 Cat wrote in from United States  (98.210.nnn.nnn)

The phrase "Imitation Is The Best Form Of Flattery" comes to mind.
I think Mr. Leonardo knows a good thing when he sees it!

Brazil shouldn't be deprived because the antics of a few people.
I know Kako, Iuri, JV, Josue, Thiago, Lucas & Marcio have Pavels, some have GOG's. They love to get together for slalom sessions & would be very sad if Pavel & GOG were not available to them anymore.
Bootleg Pavels & GOG's?? Most will want the real thing. Those who choose to buy fakes, well..... you get what you pay for.

Brazilians are good people. They have already proven that!

some words about some brazilians
On 9/13/2008 donald20 wrote in from Germany  (88.77.nnn.nnn)

just to let you know what is just happening in brazil:

the cast of players:
bruno leonardo and his friends

in a recent forum conversation mr.leonardo and 2 of his buddies were trying to get applause for their vliant effort to buy and copy product they are not able to produce themselves.
the victims in this case are pavel and gog.

i never came across something like this before where people openly discuss on a forum about ripping other producers off by copying their product and trying to get applause by other members.
as a result of this i will definitely cease to ship any more product to brazil.
only a few select people will still get our stuff.


again,that's the first time for me to ever witness such stupid and arrogant behaviour.

respecting adam and this forum keeps me from using stronger language aimed towards those folks.

Dirty Dom..... Where were YOU Last Night???
On 9/4/2008 Cat wrote in from United States  (76.126.nnn.nnn)

BERLIN - Police are trying to track down a man filmed riding a skateboard down a steep stretch of highway at 62 mph, far above the speed limit.

The man who raced down southern Germany's Ulm-Stuttgart highway for two miles before he stopped and fled is believed to be a professional stuntman, Goeppingen police spokesman Uli Stoeckle said.

A video of the skateboarder, broadcast on German television networks on Wednesday, showed a helmeted figure wearing a red and white protective suit building up speed by holding onto the back of a motorcycle before letting go and freewheeling.
"We put out an all-points bulletin and have received information that gives us useful clues to who the man may be," Stoeckle said. "We are particularly concerned about copycats who may imitate the stunt, putting their lives at risk."

The film clips show several cars escorting the skateboarder, enabling his collaborators to record the event. The clips have since surfaced on Internet websites.

'Substantial fine'
The German magazine Stern said the mystery man is known in skateboarding circles as a professional stuntman and takes part in international downhill skateboarding competitions.

Stoeckle said the man faces charges for interfering with traffic safety and endangering motorists, and would lose his driver's license and face a "substantial fine." He denied media reports the skateboarder would face a one-year jail sentence.

There are no speed limits on German highways but there are restrictions on many sections, especially steep and dangerous stretches. The section the skateboarder was using has an 50 mph speed limit.

gogonauts will only be used on races on a hill

for flatland races there should be a gogmarine version with sub-molecular powerthane for booster-acceleration.
