Afi, Turners are great collection items, but as Donald says new boards w/ concave and tail are much more functional and allow you to be much faster.

1.8m cones means he had to run 10 more meters than @1.60m, so the time is even more impressive?

Anyways, we'll repeat the attempt with cones at 1.6m. I'm sure he will make it.

Does it need to be a flat surface? No hill even if modest? All 50 cones records in the pdf were in flat surface?

If you run dual lane races you have to make sure you don't change in the excel tabs (bottom left) the words "qualis" and "elims". We did at some time and then the program assumes a single lane race. Is that the issue?

Is it going to be 25/4 (Sat) or 26/4 (Sun) (or both?). If both, which competitions when (tightm hybrid, GS, etc)?. On your first post in this thread says 25/4 but on the "official" competition thread says 26/4.
