On 6/23/2005 mike maysey wrote in from United States  (63.165.nnn.nnn) Is there anybody out there? This isn't slalom related but I saw the most kick ass show last night at the House of Blues on Sunset in Hollywood last night...Bad Religion is still kicking major ass after all these years. I gotta say, there's something about going to a concert where you can scream the words to nearly every song along with the entire crowd. It was a great time...my ears are still ringing. Anyone skating out there? I know I've been on it...in preparation for Stockholm...planning to peak for this summer over there.     Rate post 209999 !

I hope Skaterbuilt Dave reads this too because the ConeKiller is one sick deck, and I absolutely love it... i think dave would like hearing that his board makes the average mid pack racer like me happy along with super awesome pros such as yourself. I hope everything is going well for you and if my school schedule in Copenhagen works out, I'll see you in Stockholm! henry     Rate post 209588 !

One of them is this...you won't be able to or want to use the same motions for TS and GS. You'll probably use more arm and hip in GS while in TS, you'll use less arm and hip. Make sense?     Rate post 209159 !

Do you know what tic-tacing is? Get on a park board and If you do, you'll understand the way you sort of swing from side to side as you guide your board back and forth to try and generate speed. You can do this and make it more effective by swinging your arms along with your board tic-tacing back and forth. As you go faster, your arms might tend to get wider. I would, at that point, suggest you consciously bend your arms at the elbow and keep your hands in front of you as you tic-tac along. Once you get the feeling, you'll understand what I mean. Get on your slalom board and keep your front wheels on the ground but use that same sway motion you used on the park board while tic tacing and translate that to your slalom board while keeping your wheels on the ground. 'whats the best technique, when i look at the worlds dvds there seems to be some varying styles?' There are many styles. I don't think any one of them is 'best.' I think it comes down to what's comfortable to you. You'll figure it out with time. You'll begin to gravitate toward a style to fits. Then once you figure that out, and are comfortable, you can probably make changes.     Rate post 209157 !
