As the last GoG-Mega-Ramp is over now we tend to built a new one. It´s a GoG-mission to push the limits. 2 weeks ago we were thinking about building a new big starting ramp with vertical transition. The posts above encourage us to do so. Who needs rules if speed is in need? btw.: Security is not an...

Marion Karr

Speaking as a BOD member, I would like to see any race have the ability to step up the game with a bigger ramp! That being said I agree with Wesley if racers are offer a choice, then we need to understand if said racer selects an A or B group and A is big ramp, B is traditional, or is everyone in o...

Marion Karr

My suggestion to change the rule is based on the belief that some of the ISSA rules are extraneous. I don't think it's necessary to put limitations on the size and shape of the ramp. Especially given that ramps are not required. You could have a push start in some races (though that might effect th...

Marion Karr

I appreciate this discussion but the idea that the DHB Big Ramps are somehow unfair or unsafe makes me laugh. Yes, I crashed off the ramp at this last year's Dixie but it was NOT the ramps fault. I had the wrong set up and I didn't lean forward enough coming off. My 47 year self climbed back up the ...

I hope that my post about cheating didn´t sound like an accusation to somebody. Before the Worlds there was some bullshit about for how long we had run the courses and I was referring to that and nothing else. To avoid such it would be good to have it set close to the contest. http://i221.photobuck...

Marion Karr

Martin, Dude you are cool...no worries. I completely understand your point. I completely agree too that :setting courses and practicing on them over and over and over is not appropriate. Hope you can make it to the Dixie Cup...the courses will be fresh with very little pre-riding.. NOw git over here...

Marion Karr

This sounds absolutely perfect! It is not so nice to be accused for cheating with the courses. New to everyone is a good thing. Cheating? Does COSS cheat? How about anyone putting on races at Pump Station? La Costa? Luna? How about ice hockey teams who's home arena boards rebound the puck different...

Marion Karr

Martin, I understand your point but as a race promoter who is charged with a great deal of other activities other than the course setting having the course set the day of an event is highly impractical. With the exception of Hobby Park, every race venue we use is a public street that we have limited...

As a promoter of both races with limited fields (Dixie Cup) and the Worlds this year (PRO/Am qualifying, I think there is a great deal to be considered here.

Another issue of race day course set up is SAFETY....!!

No one has still answered my question (with the exception of Ramon in a PM): When during a mult-day event (A Main or a Major) do you plan/purpose to have these courses by the Guest/Pro Skaters set? In my humble opinion, (I have only been putting on events for three years), setting the course on race...

Marion Karr

By the way the Downhillbillies Course Setting Philosophy is Called the 3 F's:

Courses MUST be:

1. Above all else FAST.

2. They must FLOW (avoiding hurky jerky offsets or placements that rob speed)

3. They must be FUN to skate.
