Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Hi Ian. Sorry your post in my thread did not end your search. Hope this new thread does the trick! Obviously the more you are prepared to pay the more likely it is that you will find a suitable boat. I am not sure if there are any 3.5's around at the sort of money you are spending. You may find the...

Yes Fatboy! Sorry but its now down "sarf" here in Bedford for the foreseeable future where it is safe to say that "I'm Lovin' it!" Ok, here is the performance update (hope you are reading this Joe as I feel I may become your best unpaid Rep!). Firstly, I had to get comfy! The seat was too far forwa...

Wow! Over 200 more views in two days! Are people now clicking this topic every time they log in maybe? Like some compulsive behavior disorder I wonder? 1041 views and I already announced that my search is over? Weird! Well, I still am not in posession of the boat until tomorrow. Here's hoping :-) U...

Ok, as this rather dull topic has attracted over 800 viewings I feel almost compelled to update everyone with the news that I have now purchased the Double Dutch Virus as offered to me by Dutch Geezer above for an undisclosed yet mutually acceptable sum :-) Yay! My search for the illusive 3.5m 85kg...

Jim. I lost about 15 seconds during my run. If they show up, please forward them to me for my next comp so I can blow these young Premsters away! :-) Glad you got the extinguisher back. If the culprit had parents who would have pointed him to the zillion sports and activities that are available, he...

I think the nosey comment must be about right - 442 views now! Is a second hand 3.5m the Holy Grail of slalom? Or maybe just for us 85kg paddlers :-) I am having second thoughts about this now anyway. I paddle a 4m Prijon Becker and its still a great boat for me. Other than missing out on spinning ...

Hmmm....150+ views and no posts .........I wonder why anyone would look at this topic (a) if they do not have a boat for sale and (b) if they do not have a boat for sale and do not have any reason to post a reply? ho hum...thanks for looking anyway....and now I posted here again I suppose you are a...

WORLD CUP SILVER! WOWOWOW! When I saw this vid I thought I was watching a Slovak pair!!! :-) http://c2.timbaillie.co.uk/showvideo.php?id=22 Is this the highest placed Brit C2 ever? I think so! Absolutely brilliant lads, all that hard work is paying off so keep it up for Brazil ok! Very well done :-)

Well done ET & TB.....for beating our other pair too :-) Dan whooped my backside in a K1 in an officials event last weekend so Im glad a fellow Viking got one over on him :-) You youngsters are all blummin' fast if you ask me! Well done the lot of you :-) All results together with brilliant race an...

I am looking for a used but watertight 3.5m slalom kayak for an 80kg-85kg paddler. Not too fussy about which one as I just need to get into something shorter than my 4m boat that will allow me to pivot around the tail end on a bow rudder. Either message me here, post below or email me at info@parke...

Am I the only person who thinks that Slovak Gold medalist in the mens K1 actually got a 50? If the paddlers head and part of the boat needs to pass through the gate to GET a gate, surely the paddlers head and part of the boat needs to NOT pass through the gate to MISS it!? The very top half of his ...

Well, even though I have not competed this season due to injury, I am still very saddened by the news that both end of season Llangollen events have been moved to HPP again :-( Very unimaginative. I personally enjoy natural river slaloms far more than artificial courses anyway. The rivers have spen...
