WAP Update
August 9, 2k
Our WAP section (slalomskater.com/wap/, or go to inline.org/wap/ and
click on Slalom) is now open. Only forward and backward tricks have been defined.
You'll note that the descriptions are quite condensed. Let us know how we can improve
this section.
Site Update
July 15, 2k
Thankfully not as many dead links, but mostly everywhere but the tricks section.
Backwards trick definitions have been informally completed, still working on the rest,
detailed descriptions are still in the works. There are also pics on the Boston and Chicago pages.
WAP
July 14, 2k
Yes, WAP as in Wireless Access Protocol. We'll be WAPifying the tricks section
as soon as I learn the markup. So stay tuned for "slalomskater.com/wap". No
longer will you be at the top of the course wondering which trick to do!
we're up!
May 19, 2k
Watch out folks, we got all dead links in the Tricks section. I still haven't finished
putting together the descriptions and step by step how to's for them.
Thanks for your patience
acknowledgements
Eventually, I'll add an acknowledgements section to thanks those who helped.
In the mean time here's a starter: Josh for the insane progressive tricks,
Chris for skating with me in Chicago and coming up with all those side tricks I can't do,
Dave O'Connor for his offer to help and coming pics and video from the Boston scene
Matonis for his assistance with some tricks and inspiring me with his backcross,
the rest of the folks in Boston who helped me learn all this stuff,
the guys in Chicago for their hospitality on the course (and Laurent for not going all
out with his cutbacks),
SkateFAQ and Cones+Wheels for being the source to learn from in the early days,
and I got some more I can't remember now that I'll add in the coming months.
