Sitting in "Completes" on the Bay
On 3/4/2011 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (62.25.nnn.nnn)

Anyone looking for a new board? There is a nice Roadster up on that auction site - not long to run either:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290538339338&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITf

Speaking of e-Bay did anyone notice SEE Jims mint OJ Super Juice went for £258.75 on Monday - is this a record?

HP tomorrow anyone?

Cheers

Team LSD and RIP Gints
On 2/11/2011 Mikko wrote in from United States  (67.155.nnn.nnn)

Just a brief RIP for our race brother Gints. I met him just once at '04 Worlds in Morro Bay along with many other Euro riders and still feel the stoke he brought.

And a quick shout out to Edwin and the LSD warriors. Still remember some good times hangin' wit y'all! Wish we weren't all so far apart.

Gints
On 2/10/2011 Edwin wrote in from Ireland  (82.132.nnn.nnn)

So sorry to hear about the tragic loss of Gints.
I met him a couple of times in my Slalom life and he always
Came across as someone who really enjoyed to skate or have
Something to do with skating.

My condolences go out to his family and close friends.
Have a skate on those fluffyclouds Gints.

Texas USA race
On 2/10/2011 Paul Price wrote in from (174.52.nnn.nnn)

I am booked for the Texas sizzler March 26-27, have a hotel room and car.
Anyone else from Team UK coming? You could combine the trip to the USA to do some mega
snowboarding at ParK City, Utah. Search LHR-IAH-SLC-LHR for some good deals, under £387 return at the moment.
Hope to see you over in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

broken kingpin
On 2/10/2011 cfav wrote in from United States  (24.13.nnn.nnn)

Andy, my experience whith rads is when you have kingpins breaking ,it means something is binding.the most obvious is that it is not tightened properly,but more than likely look at the washer on top of the bushings?is the stock one?if it is not,it could be too big and a hard turn will force the hanger against the washer and the kingpin can't withstand the force and breaks.different bushings can do this to.look for the hanger hitting the washer.

Who'd have thought it - A Radikal kingpin breaking! :o)

Maybe you and Radikal's just ain't meant to be eh Andy?
Try something "Made in England" and do your bit for the economy to boot!

Rear Slalom Trucks
On 2/9/2011 SamG wrote in from United Kingdom  (89.16.nnn.nnn)

Hi Andy, there is a very good reason why these exist:



Available here: Virage Racing Trucks. Less brittle and more readily available than anything else out there
If in any doubt, have a word with Michael.

Wanted G.O.G Rear
On 2/7/2011 Andy M wrote in from United Kingdom  (87.112.nnn.nnn)

Greetings from Brighton!

Does anyone have a rear G.O.G truck they'd like to sell me, or know where I can get one on the cheap? Been having a nightmare with the offsets since I had to replace the Radikal rear, yet another broken kingpin!

Cheers in advance.

HP Yesterday
On 2/6/2011 RobA wrote in from United Kingdom  (81.151.nnn.nnn)

Yes it was a bit windy, but nothing that doubling up the cones couldn't handle.
A few of the longboard crew turned up too.

Highlight of the day, seeing Ed going though the course......



....and he did it clean!! Good to have you "back on board" mate.

Oh and thanks again to Bruno for the "Imported" Brazilian beer.

Cheers

P.S. The UKSSA now has a laminating machine - plastic fantastic! Membership cards anyone?
