Not responding to your emails, when you gave him this forum,
shows what a stand up guy that Chaput isn't.
And basically you did boot him by giving the forum to Capt.America -
for which I cheer you.

Chris Chaput
On 9/27/2007 Adam wrote in from United States  (198.144.nnn.nnn)

Chris Chaput was not booted from this Q&A forum. Chris simply hadn't posted here in over a year and wasn't responding to my attempts to contact him. I had to assume he was no longer interested in participating.

I feel honored to have Rick Kludy take over and think he's a breath of fresh air bringing good karma that this part of Ncdsa really can use. Go Kludy!!!1

what?
On 9/25/2007 Sam of NY wrote in from United States  (68.193.nnn.nnn)

the chap man got booted? wow, I thought he just didn't post a lot since many of people here dislike his attitude towards six wheelers and the paskapoo incident.
I'm not sure I'm buying the boot thing, that seems like a pretty weird move for ncdsa to reject his posts.

exskate huh
On 9/25/2007 herbn wrote in from United States  (205.188.nnn.nnn)

i cruised a old board with some centered exskate wheels on them i thought they just felt fast because of te totally loose tall wobbly randals i had on it, they had original blue hardcore bushings with the black washer part , i actually still have some old cherry's that are in excellent shape. Interesting to know techniqueand familiarity can still level old equipment up against new stuff.

Cherry bombs
On 9/25/2007 Andrew Mercado wrote in from United States  (76.171.nnn.nnn)

You know Kludy, Exkate is still has original sets of cherry bombs. I picked some up the other day. The guy at exkate told me they are from the same batch Biker did his skitch stunt with the motorcycle on. And I have ridden with you at the dump road with them as well and they haul ass there. If you want some contact me and ill point you in the right direction

Coming to Denver
On 9/25/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (216.70.nnn.nnn)

I just booked my ticket and I will get into Denver On Friday at 11:24 on Frontier Airlines. Cherrybombs are my 9 year old wheels that Xskate made. They are still fast ! I think two days on that hill should give me my legs for Brazil. See you Friday evenning Rob. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Speed Wheels
On 9/24/2007 DrNo wrote in from United States  (138.88.nnn.nnn)

Rick, 97mm Flywheels have been ridden at over 105 MPH on a one mile course.

Here's the link to the first speed attempts where we ran test after test for something like 9 consecutive runs at and over the 100MPH mark:
http://www.gravitydb.com/speed/psl103.wmv

Abec 11 Flywheels handled the heat. For us anyway.

Board bags & Wheels
On 9/24/2007 Kludy wrote in from United States  (68.8.nnn.nnn)

I like the Kitebag Idea. I got a same type of bag for Brazil but it was a base ball bag with roller on it. I took it to New York for a test run but the zipper broke when I got to New York. I may stich it up and run with that, cant beleave I am throwing it out like this.I am taking the rest of my roofing side job money and going to see my freind Rob in Colorado, going to make a few more I am sure ! O.K. Wheels are a big deal for me, gave to many away and now have none . I will take Cherrybombs for high speed in Colorado. At my age just cant get the help I need, Not marketable ! I heard that Bennet has race wheels and would love to try a set. Chris Chaput I think right now has the best wheels for high speed,Chris help this old guy out would you . Dan with the speedvents are unperdicable and he is not willing to send me a good set after sending me real bad wheels in the begining when he made the 1 st bach. If any of you wheel makers think you have a wheel that can do 80 mph on a simi smooth road and dont care that I am 45 years young and may not give you anything in return please send me what you have, I will fly your colors and stickers. 3237 meadow lane , Lemon Grove Calf. 91945 O.K. Thats my one and only shot for help, if not no worries I will ride my 9 year old bearings and wheels ! Makin it down the hill is way more important to me than winning !

Sport Tube
On 9/24/2007 mckendry wrote in from United States  (71.208.nnn.nnn)

I own 2 snowboard size sport tubes. It's a big toothbrush holder, it is telescopic. 2 leathers, 2 boards, helmet and tools keeping it at 50lbs. I have used the sport tube traveling everywhere and strongly recommend I learn how to spell? Anyway it rox. So Rist Canyon session on the 6th and 7th. Bring your GPS and any 2 way radios. I just shipped a sport tube to Portland for Marcotte to go run cones this weekend in NC. Sport Tube tell them I sent you and your a World ranked professional athlete. They go on the roof (waterproof) easily to when the rig is filled with duct taped golf bags. It's snowing today. Rist in the cold thin air=ffffaaaaassstttt. Let me know what you need Rick. I spoke to one of the Rist locals and you will be accomodated. Acomodated, acom ...never graduated.

Flying with longboards
On 9/24/2007 Shredder wrote in from Germany  (62.214.nnn.nnn)

Try a kiteboarding boardbag. They come perfect sizes for two boards, leathers, helmet and other gear, are padded and have trolley-style wheels. There even are some models that look like golf bags, because many airlines do not charge extra for golf bags...

Kludy and friends,

May I ask how you guys transport your boards when traveling by air? Do you check them or carry on(if that's even allowed)? I'm getting ready for a trip to Cali from Alaska and I need to know how to handle my boards. Thanks gang!
