Unofficial UK Slalom BBS

If you're ever up north, I highly recommend seeing Tim at http://www.sport-med.co.uk/ He was GB canoeing's physio, and a paddler himself (he used to coach me). I've never met a better physio, and he's very good at working around what you realistically can/can't do. Everyone from all over the place s...

Personally I'm very keen on pre-selection. As an athlete you train up for certain races over the winter etc, aiming to peak at certain times, your training winds up toward this, & you aim to be well rested & at your sharpest for the race. However, having selection in there gives you and extra time w...

As far as I know, no one does Zig Zags, though it may be worth asking the Dixons how they got hold of theirs.

As for Caiman, I think there still is an Irish distributor - I cant remember the guys's name or the web address, but I'll take a look and see if I can find it.

Right, I have a few things to clear up here! I used Walkie Talkies as an example of how the technology can be used - Walkie Talkies can have a battery life of several days and a few km. However an out of the box Walkie Talkie is no good, you don't want to have to hold a button to talk, you don't wan...

We actually already have, an (as far as I know) decent electronic timing system, used by the timing team. How does this work?

I had a few thoughts on this after spending hours debugging the lines at Washburn, and I'm off to do an Electronic Engineering degree, so maybe this could be a project for in the future. I personally would go with a completely different set up for headsets etc. There's no need for hardware anywhere ...

I would have thought that the IOC would be fairly happy to increase the number of Athletes when we add C1W, as they are fairly keen for equal opportunities between men and women. I know that one of the sprint paddlers also kicked up a fuss about the lack of women's events in the Olympics, does anyon...

Cheers Robin, I got the same from someone else forwarding me their email. I phoned up, turned out someone had copied my email address wrong at some point!

So from the sound of things, everyone should have heard by now.

I haven't heard anything yet, about a delivery date, or getting the tickets! Has everyone else had emails etc?

I'm looking for an XX10 left blade, or a cheapish full set if I can't do a deal for one side.

I think the only official rankings are those compiled at the end of the year I'm afraid!

Officials are often required to be the 'Gate Judges', this will mean that for a number of hours of the individuals time, they can do two race runs for free. Depending on the race, the official may be on duty, for 1 hour upto 5 or 6 hours, We've only ever been to one event which required anything li...

Hi Jim, Not sure whether you spotted the thread a couple down http://www.giveitfish.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1878 ? I'll merge the threads if there's no reason for two. But yes, I have a strong knowledge of electronics, and some knowledge of how the various touch systems that are currently i...

Absolute lifesaver, thank you!
