Hey all- let me know if you want some Toronto TV exposure for the slalom thing-
if you send me a press release or something, I could maybe get the station where I work to shoot something- one of the news guys here used to ride slalom, and he said to let him know about stuff like that.

Ok, let me start this off by saying sorry to Claude, MBL and Rob.
I have been very out of touch recently with family stuff that I dont need to explain here. Claude, I have been trying to get Jay Pritchard to pay for the Roe, he has it, he wants it and I have told him to contact Gareth or T.K. several times. Gareth said 75US or so for one of those old roes. If is still up in the air I will paypal TK the money and just get Jay to pay me canadian. Jay, if you read this contact me.
Regarding the spring series i am totally up for helping out where I can. I think it may be best to race in T.O. and do a clinic type thing here in Hamilton, and of course a little racing on the side. Road closure might be tough to swing, but my bike path is pretty decent. My # is 905-627-4496, im usually in after 6, but im out tonight.
Rob, sorry that I havent called, and by the way, im looking at the sts Pocket Pistol and I believe the trucks are on the way, with a full complement of bushings.
So you can expect quicker responses from me now...thats basically my point.
Thanks for bearing with me.

As you know we spoke about holding a July 1, 04 Canada Day slalom event. We are working on it so stay tuned.
We are also planning to go to race and party in Boston. The plan is to leave Ottawa on July 2 ad return from Boston right after the fireworks (you don't want to miss them) display on the 4th of July.
Whether or not it becomes the CAN-AM event we had hoped for it will be a lot of fun.
We just reserved a bus to bring you down a Canadian contingent. We are planning the Canadian Slalom contest for July 1, 04 if any of you are interested in coming up for it.
We are working on an acommodation package for both venues.
Now if only our sk8park ran lenghtwise :) By the way go to the other site to check out Pierre's Design for the Canadian Skateboard Slalom Association.
As far as the Easter weekend the 1st Airline has been contacted and things are moving along.

If you use surf wax itll get dirty and really ugly as soon as you take it outside, from skimboard experience.Clear grip is the way to go.

Clear Grip Tape

Steve:
The answer to your question is to purchase clear grip tape - I think Jessop makes both black and clear.
I would not trust wax, when it gets warm and the wax melts and too cool it will chip/peel off.
Hope it helps.

I just have a question for my fellow Canadians. I just got a new landyachtz deck and i don't want to cover it with grip tape. I heard that surf wax can be a good alternative. Does anybody know the truth to this or any other alternatives?
Thanks

Slalom In Montreal

We've talked about getting a couple of roads right in the downtown core. Berri has a lot of room with a bridge over it, it could be easy to divert traffic. Have you made up your mind on what the actual dates will be at each city?
Talk to you later.

Hey Mike:
I can't ride park worth a damn, but I would be interested in a CW Party.
With the number of skaters at the new park in Leaside (my local neighbourhood) as well as the longboarders, I think you could have a pretty good crowd.
How technical is the park in Woodbridge??
Thanks
Rob

If you have wound up on this forum it means two things:
1) there's a good chance you are Canadian
2) you must like all types of skateboarding (ie you don't just stick to street)
I wanted to have a get together of folks who live in the Toronto area at a new skatepark...it's up in woodbridge.
if I held it....would you come out?
email me your thoughts...anyone who showed up would get CW goodies

Happy New Year Everyone!!!!
Jerry type of skating are you looking to do in the garage.
I am looking for a garage suitable for setting slalom cones and not freezing my ass off.
If you are looking for the same, feel free to get in touch.
Would also be interested in getting a longboard session in as well.
Civ - give me a shout - either e-mail or phone!!
Thanks
