my laptop went to hell this weekend, major issues by the looks of it.
so, anyone know any good computer repairers? the big stores are such rip offs, i need a computer geek who's into this stuff, am happy to pay.
to keep it skating related, i didn't go skating this weekend... lame.

Hey Tim im in sydney and supply the deck you need.I can make you a custom deck to your needs.The drop through has been tried and tested at speed and is stability central but still very reactive in turns.Drop throughs are great for going down the road to get the milk because there low and kicking is easier.The dogzeye can take up to 92mm flys and has a carbon core with layers of fiji hardwood 12ply and another layer of carbon on the underside.You can see a good shot of the deck on the old skool team site in vids(click on the 9# vid )Send me an email or call me on 0415855995.
Cheers :Kanufi

I am wanting to buy a quality drop through low c g deck for a nice carve board. I am thinking a downhill style deck that i will probably fit with Original 8's or somthing like that. I want it low for stability and easy pushing but i will fit some turny trucks and big sticky wheels. Can any one sugest a deck here in Sydney? Or where can i get some good thin ply to make my own?
I am just getting back into skating after 25 years (i'm 40 now) and love my slalom board my 7 year old gave me but its not good for pushing ( too high) and not great for comuting. man i wish Grippins were around 25 years ago!

tim when getting stuff shipped get it done through usps (us postal service) and see if the vendor can write commercial samples or a fake birthday note and value it as such.

I bought trackers direct over the net and they were about 70 or $80 . $18 US each + postage. Its the postage you pay for. My Abec 11 Grippins were about 100ish

yeah, a day running cones at san remo sound like fun. boyd, if you get permission, let us know and we can set up a date for an impromptu race where everyone can go up and hang and ride and meet everyone else.
i'm buried with work and exams for the next couple of weeks, then thinking of going on vacation to asia for a month, so not sure when i'll be around.
went for a skate last night, didn't wear slide gloves, stupid me. of course i went down on a rough patch of road and took a chunk out of my hand, nice one!

hey there
thanks for that
i have got a reply from buddy at tracker
he said he'd email a retailer
i am trying to get permission to use the hot mix at the san remo extreme sports park for slalom, i will let you know, (that's about 110kms north of sydney)it is about 60 metres of wide hot mix and no cars
if you want to have a carve the road from the entry to king edward park down to south newcastle beach is closed to traffic, about 300 to 400 metres of wide pavement and no cars except for the occasional illegal surf checker or smoker, nice grade and big turnarounds to finish, just make sure you know who is down the bottom as they come back up fast in the hotted up speakers with wheels

yeah lo down at cronulla can get them but it would be cheaper and easier to order from the states yourself as he doesnt keep them in stock and as such you'll have to wait a fair while for them to get in anyway.

you might be better off ordering them online. They will probably be cheaper, and you could perhaps combine your order with other stuff for other people.
Joseph told me a set of Tracker racetracks retails for $70 (i think) at a shop in cronulla. It will in all likelihood be cheaper to order over the internet.
Solidskate.com and longskate.com are good starting places.

Are there any Slalom dudes out in Thialand?
I will be out there in November and will take a board if there is anyone to skate with.
Post if there is anyone who wants to meet up.

Yeah any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm gonna try and get some kinda giveaway for any support crew on the day. So if anyone has any mates or girlfriends that would be keen to lend a hand(traffic control, start/finish line) Sounds like you mighta needed some "liquid courage" at the worlds.

hey dudes,
got back from the States on Sunday, back to the rain rain rain... which suits me just fine as I'm cooped up making some bucks to pay off that trip anyways...
Morro was super cool, lots of people and fun racing. The super G was pretty cool, fast and a bit hairy on a big hill. I reckon its the fastest i've ever gone standing up on a skateboard and it wasn't even that fast, like 50km/h probably.
I did alright in the hybrid and tight slalom, alright meaning I qualified high in the B group but got knocked out in the round of 16 both days. So I know i've got the speed to do alright, but my mental game just wasn't up to par. No racing experience, trying to remember to do 20 things at once instead of just going with the flow. Oh well, it'll only get better.
Looking forward to the Outlaw Downhill event. Not sure I'll be racing, need to feel safe first, but I'll definitly be there to help out and hang with everyone. We should do another Slalom event sometime soon as well. But I don't have access to a car now, so gotta get that sorted out.
Here's a shot from the top of the Super GS hill. It was pretty flat in the beginning before dropping off and speeding up. Nice....!

"An inspiration to all in the tradition of Duke Kahanamoku, George Blanda, and Lord James Blears, the enduring legend Cliff Coleman, just days short of 55 became the oldest World Champion in slalom history..."
congratulations, cliff, how fast was it?
