Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

Looks to me to be a great way to stagnate the sport, and as mentioned earlier leave those who wish to progress perhaps becoming VERY disillusioned at the long wait to get up. I must add being a DV that i like Div1, have no real desire to go up and maybe following recent results (big maybe i must ad...

Nicky the voice of reason. IMO Mikey you have every right to feel agrieved. The fact that you did not question the DQ means that you still could/should of had the time on the water that you travelled and paid to have. You didn't expect to get a result, so what was the harm?

Whilst i agree it would be nice if all events were on reasonable high levels of whitewater i think thats just no longer possible. Sorry if i state the obvious as i am sure everyone over the age of 14 has noticed, it just doesn't rain as much as it used to :( . Does that mean we should restrict the ...

I got back into slalom last year after a few years off (17) and i weigh in at 90 kilos. I tried out a few boats at the start of the season and i found the slingshot 95 to be my favorite, which i have since bought new. Easy to paddle, turns well, not the fastest in a straight line but then thats not...
