Yeah, u.s.bombs gets me amped, also guttermouth, nofx, sick of it all, some good old school stuff like black flag, and for a mellow cruise no fun at all, n.u.f.a.n or some ska or reggae. To me its all about a group of guys (or girls) jumping up there and thumping out a good fast honest tune, not that over produced, over polished, over computerized crap thats getting all to common now days. I think its sad that rock n, rolls dying in favour of all that faceless techno bollocks.

Lately, it's been either the U. S. Bombs or Tommy Guerrero's new jazzy stuff.

For me the type of music I listen to before skating depends on the mood I am in and the type of skating I want to do. If I am mellow and want to do the soulfull riding I will listen to soft love song type music. If I am feeling a bit more aggressive, then its rock and roll, old or new (not metal or it derivitives)

I know we got a real diverse group of viewers here, so what kind of music is everybody listening to before they skate?

Hello to all of you,
I've been spending a lot of time in Berkeley, CA and not at my home in Auburn, CA. This has kept me away from my computer. The post seem to be increasing and it's been a lot of fun reading what's up.
I wanted to go the the Barrett Junction races but they conflict with the National Yo-Yo Championships and I was already commited to judge at the yo-yo contest. I also wanted to try and repeat as the Giant Slalom champ at the West LA College race October 29th. Unfortunately I will be in New York for Yo-Yo demonstrations that were scheduled long ago. Two fun races and I will miss them both. All I can say is best of luck to all of you!!!
I won't be able to post when I'm in Berkeley, I'm going back to skate the best hills in the world. By the way, Chris Chaput when are you going to skate Berkeley with me?
Talk to you guys soon,
Cliff Coleman

FUZZ,
Skyhooks are made by Extreme an Amaerican company, they are like bindings for snowboards.

Nah mate...I'd like to mess about with diferent lengths (phnar!), but only have limited supplies of Birch Ply.
I like the bungee cord idea - extra acceleration out of carves/turns....hmmm (rubs chin reflectively).
Will soon have website - Fuzzbox Design Solutions
Cheers

p.s. DT...skyhooks???

This aspect of our site definitely needs work (we've grown too big -- 30MB of posts and counting!). I'll post some zips per roger's suggestion.

If ok with NCDSA, I could save archive html, compress them to a zip file, and email to those having problem accessing them otherwise.

nick, you're right. Even with 15 k/sec I'm not able to read everything, especially in the bigger sections like wheels or trucks. Everybody should be able to read the archives, not only the few with T3+ internet connection.

When searching archives I often get a "found x amount of entries..." But half way down the page it says operation timed out, anyway of getting around this to view really old posts?

Fuzz,
Cool,
Way before wakeboards, before skurfers (ancestor to wakeboards), before kneeboards, when slalom water skis with tiny thin tails and deep full concave bellies where the choice for spraying up "water walls" behind a boat - there was tow lines attached to cars, a few skateboarders trying "water ski styles" of riding. This was back in the '70's, but bet others also did it before, getting towed is a natural thing to try.
Ironically, I just recently put together a tow line (could not find any economical dynamic lines, so had to use a short static line with a bungee end). Sure did give me pleasant memories of summers decades ago. To scared to do some hard laybacks, would like to keep my skin.
I would strongly encourage you to get a leather suit and helmet, then see what can be done with a tow line. Sounds like you are doing way more than we ever tried/dared. Post some "fuzzy" pics :)
"HIT IT!"
Roger
btw: have you tried 75' and 50' lengths, very different - way fast cutbacks!

G'day Angel Cakes...
It's been a while, how you all been?
Some pretty experimental riding has been going on in my neck of the woods...
Been trying out oiled and super soft bushings (yawn you all say?), Ok, what about a 5ft (I kid you not) longdeck (with 70mm Blue kryptos) pulling Coleman stylee power slides at approx. 40mph? (still yawning?)
Okay...here's the new contraption developed by the one and only FUZZBOX DESIGN SOLUTIONS...
ROAD WAKE! (KA-POW!)
Yup, a road wake board, 40", squared off, deep cut-outs (currently using PIVOT Sector 9 trucks, gonna try the RII's), foot straps (adjustable for different styles and stance - goofy, regular etc), and running the trusty 80a krypto's on this deck too (currently experimenting with different durometers).
It works a treat! Get a mate to tow you (preferably he/she driving a car at a steady 25-30mph) on nice open, smooth tarmac (I've been testing on an airstrip), deep turns and airs. Gonna rig up some ramps pretty soon.
Oh yeah, let go of the rope when you fall...I've got more scabs than skin - bailing with the foot straps gets a bit tricky too!
No job too big...
FUZZ
