Neither the "Slalom" logo or the "ISSA" logo are effective in my opinion. The "Slalom" logo doesn't say "ISSA" or most importantly "International Skateboard Slalom Association" anywhere. It is completely generic and does nothing to brand the association. The "ISSA" logo is better since it at least i...

Don't fall in the IGSA trap if this is proposed. The IGSA has Regionals, Nationals, Continentals and World Cup events, but calls the series "World Cup Series".

I agree that an ISSA designation of "World Cup" to a select few races would be more marketable and would add prestige to those races for racers, sponsors, media, etc. The "World Cup" series (sum of points in World Cup events) would then really mean something and could be attached to a prize.

I was unaware that only one "Major" can be counted toward each person's ranking. I think assigning "World Cup" status by the ISSA to the one or two biggest events on each continent every year would be an excellent basis for starting a "World Cup Series". It shouldn't be up to organizers if they want...

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what is the top level ISSA race. When I ask people, "Is it major or main?" 9 times out of ten nobody is sure. By looking at the new contest calender I now understand that Major is the top. I'd like to propose that we change the name "Major" to "World Cup". ...
