Joe McLaren - clean sweep at the 2016 Texas Sizzler

Joe McLaren, multiple World Champion, shows he's in good shape at the first Main status race of the 2016 season, winning all three events at the Annual Texas Sizzler, Houston TX. In GS he's even 1 sec ahead of the rest of the gang. Richy Carrasco and Ethan White were the other top contenders with special guest David Hackett, local boy Lou Statman, Florida's Keith Hollien and Utah's Paul Price not far behind.

New World Records - October 17, San Diego, CA

SoCal Racing included a 100 cone challenge with their last race of the 2015 SoCal Cup. Four new records were set. Oshean Lehrmann of Carlsbad California broke the Junior Men's World Clean Record by 6 seconds with a 21.85 second run. This was also fast enough to beat the unclean record, both held by current Pro Danny Navarro of Spain. Lynn Kramer hit the heartbreaking last cone, which would have given her the new Women's Open record but instead settled for two Masters records of 23.73 Clean, and 22.50 Unclean.

Several people came out to try to set new world records, including past and current record holders Richy Carrasco, and Joe McLaren. Orion Lehrmann, 15, also broke the old Juniors record with an adjusted time of 24.60.

ISSA Major events

Due to COVID no events in 2020 or 2021 will have the usual status assignments (Major, Main, Prime ...) instead we're doing national rankings 2021 from the events that are held. Our logic is that people can't really travel freely thus we cannot encourage international participation and potentially put people at risk of this pandemic.

If you do feel safe (vaccinated, taking appropriate precautions, ...), then go out and skate, travel to races, and get back to the pleasure of slalom racing!

Mikael Hadestrand, Peter Menke and Jonas Wikström along with the city of Båstad on the west coast of Sweden are preparing an event for us all August 6-8 that surely merits your attention although it can no longer merit a true World Championships title.
More information: ISSA event homepage

In 2022 we hope to return to a regular racing season and the highlight will certainly be the World Skate Games in Buenos Aires (late autumn, probably October) that should include slalom racing for the first time. Stay tuned!

ISSA Main events

Instead of our regular international Main events we're starting a new edition of the ISSA 25-cone World Series, with the first event on the "Go Skateboarding Day" weekend of June 21st. 25 cones, chalk, a timer, boards and a bunch of good friends is all you need to participate locally where ever you are in the world. Sign up now to hold a local event in your area!
