Yep Steve, same ones that are available at $1.00 stores and such. I use packing tape (clear) when they crack from gettng hit. When it's really cold they simply shatter, (ask Cividino) I gave him 40 out of my 200 4 or 5 years ago so he could could kick ass. He only had 10 or 20, that makes for short ...

Mike, nice job on the shirts. I definitely will not be making a last minute trip as my grandson is being Baptized.

There was always the slimest of chances but..............

Hope everyone has a great time. Looking forward to seeing some footage and pics from the venue.

Claude Regnier

Cat, I'm not on the wrong side. Maybe in your opinion the wrong view. I fully understand what has transpired. What seems to be wrong with the picture is that they seem to have enjoyed several uneventful (cops) sessions at this prime spot that has lost a great race feature. It sure was nice to head o...

Claude Regnier

Although the neighbours closed out the road for the race doesn't seem like they are up in arms over the use of the hill by this group. Seems to me from the footage that there is quite a few of them and they were out for a while. Plenty of time for the law to show up and fine or simply get rid of the...

I think the only thing here that needs to be addressed in this topic is whether or not ISSA sanctions events run in the rain if not advertised as such! Having participated in such an event I personally do not think they are a good idea to have included in any santioned events by ISSA. I can't believ...

Claude Regnier

Nice vids. Looks like a nice course, some great racing and we know everyone had a great time.

We need to make sure the people of Antrim know that we also owe them a huge Thank You for everything they have done our sport the last few years as well.

Congrats on the Podium.

Claude Regnier

Mike as it is your event it's your choice. Since your asking, I will suggest you ask the riders attending your event.

Maybe 1,2,3 split for each event this way more of them have a chance at the pot. Or you could tell them you are giving away any and buy me a ticket

Have fun, EH!

Claude Regnier

Spike! Sorry to read about the ankle injury. It will be fine if you give it time and take care of it. I recommend you either do some therapy or at the very least do some research on re-building exercises and get to it. Is it in a cast? If not then, keep (mobility) it moving with support. Use Ice & H...

Claude Regnier

I'm betting I won't make either location.

PS-I don't normally bet

but it's a new year that could be full of surprises, EH! and that is a pretty safe bet.

C-U folks in Aucust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claude Regnier

It works great in certain situations. I race reversed wheels quite a bit. I'm a little strange that way though!

Claude Regnier

The whole idea of not allowing Vince's time to stand is lame. I really can't believe you guys denied him racing if he was there on time. Points or not.

Simply LAME!

Claude Regnier

1. You need to be sure of the limits of the wheels your riding on that particular day if you plan on pushing it. 2. Cones can crack in the -% weather! 3. Anything on the road surface can cause a slip! 4. It does help you stay focused on technique. 5. Listen to what Dave said! 6. Have fun & be carefu...

Worse then that you will need to bring someone with you to help you out with other thingys

.

How are you Steve?

Claude Regnier

Mike, Ill give you that.

If it is available it should be used. Most people do not have the display and are using trackmate or such that offers the capabilities to handle .oooo timing.

Claude Regnier

Now were talking! That tail is more along the lines I'm thinking. Looks like it has some of the S-Camber design thought in there.

Congrats to both of you. Keep us informed and God Luck with it, EH!

Jani wrote "Claude, I don't understand what you are trying to prove," Jani just stating some more facts to further point out that using a 1000th over a 100th is worth it! Wether or not you used two or three digits doesn't matter. What matters is trying to run an event as efficient and quickly as pos...

Sounds good Jack!

Hope you have a good one. In a few weeks I'll one year away from 50. Looking forward to it.
Maybe by then I'll have stopped racing the young'uns.

I won't bother to go into further detail. Appart from the already mentioned cases of Timming Ties OCCURING with 2 or 3 digit computing. I know I have been invloved in at least two in the last 5 years personally. Why were some of you so adamant about not wanting ties in final placings (5th, 9th, 17th...

Claude Regnier

I personally like the Chronochrome. Pat you did an excellent job in the design. We used it without problems (due to the system) at our race this year. It was used flawlessly in Ohio and the travel did some damage to the unit for the Worlds unfortunately. This is by far the best thing out there right...

Claude Regnier

I don't know what to suggest. I just hope it can be decided soon so I can make it, that is one of the 4 races I will attend next season. I am booking two weeks of camps in July and August. The weekend of July will likely be our 5th Annual Dovercourt Open and the Worlds are going to be the 1st. weeke...

Claude Regnier

J-Rad. Rules are not going to stop slalom. Racers losing interest will be the number one reason for it dying. Costs of traveling to races is increasing so fewer people are traveling as far but luckily there are more events being held around the world. They do not all need to be big races or sanction...

Claude Regnier

There are some other errors from a previous event that also need to be corrected. He was working on them the other day.

Give him some he's been busy the other stuff on this site let alone his real job.

Claude Regnier

And, you repeated that why?

Claude Regnier

Doug, go back and read some of my original posts on the subject of a seperate division. I would like I to simply prove that in certain situations they would be the board of choice. It likely did not get put in as an option because it was long forgoten, so much crap was stired by some people that man...

Claude Regnier

The cone books are still the best system for everyone. Long courses and blind corners do hinder this method. Some people simply don't want to be bothered. In some cases like Marion stated, they didn't think they were ready to handle it. You can't fault them for that. They did a great job all the way...

Claude Regnier

This is not a triatlhon or biathlon. It's a skateboard event. High placings in any of the weekend events will garner that person points. If people manage to compete in all events good for them and the organiser. If they don't total enouh points to better someone in an Overall points race because he ...

Congrtulations to everyone. It looks like it was a great time and super nice venue and course.

Maybe next time. As hard as I tried it was just not possible this time around.

This is what I think or remember: A "10% rule" doesn't mean much unless we know: A) What am I taking 10% of? (Other racer's time, best qual time, worst qual time ... ??) Add 10% to the completed run: 10% comes the fastest qualifying time 10 = 1 second B) What am I supposed to do with this 10%? (Add ...

Claude Regnier

Perhaps someone who has used this 10% rule can step in here. From what I remember, the 10% rule applies to the fastest qualifiers time in said division. The actual racers time have nothing to do with the 10%. The only way they would tie was if they raced to equal race time during their head 2 head h...

Claude Regnier

We;re talking about one DQ each not double DQ's. Get it?

Claude Regnier

I'm pretty sure th 10% rule is meant to be from the qualiffying times before the head to head starts. It was never meant to be added or calculated on a per run basis. If both racer obtain a DQ facing each other then the fastest racer should advance. if for some odd reason they run identical times th...

Claude Regnier

Maybe that's why th 10% percent rule would make more sense. You could look at it in the same manner as couerse setting. What's the use of setting a 5' TS on an 11 degree slope? Some things need room for adjustments according to the situations presented. Of course we could continue with what we've be...

You could probably tell by the look at my face when you were leaving that I thought we would have some time...

Claude Regnier

If you make a DQ a knock out then you will definitely save some racers travels expenses. It's a great way to discourage participation.

It's fine to have a higher DQ penalty for Pro's and Am's but there is always a chance of a comeback. It has been done before. Many people will not like that one.

Claude Regnier

Jani, the fact that you don't agree, doesn't matter. The fact is a couple of people organize races to get paid for the time they put into it. that you can not dispute. I know your trying to save space in the forums but at least copy the entire particulars of a post you wish to comment on. "In some c...

Claude Regnier

If racer A gets 0 points for missing an event and still manages enough points to beat one or any of the riders that received points from the same system for the events then he deserves his higher placing.

Anything else is ?????????????????? Not real, nor valid.

Claude Regnier

The whole point of this discussion is to make sure we provide support information for racers and race organizers. Wesley in case you are not aware there have been several races over the last few years that were run by non slalomers hoping to make some cash on the event. In some case experienced peop...

Claude Regnier

Yes it is important to keep in mind that organisers should determine what types of races they want to feature. Keep in mind that there are also major course setting issues (course management) that need to be looked at. ex. pot holes-man wholes-bumps in the road. Organizers need to listen to the race...

Claude Regnier

If the World Championships were viewed as one event scored on the basis of participation and scoring of placings in the 3 events then it should not matter wether or not you participated in 1 or 3. If you received Zero points for event 2 but your good placings in the other 2 events scored you higher ...

Claude Regnier

Bruno they seldom get set these days as the malority of racers do not enjoy speed killing offsets.

Holding speed or impeding acceleration in one thing but having to slow down for cones is not a lot uf fun for modt.

Claude Regnier

How long can a manufacturer deem testing. They've been out over a year. Put 'em on the market.

No one is talkng about banning inovation. We are talking abot everyone being able to race slalom on an even level.

It's no different then anything else.

Claude Regnier

4) Banning wheels that "show a significant advantage" and are "not commercially available" is not a problem in slalom right now. If we have any problem in this area, it is TRUCKS that are not "reasonably priced", and "commercially available", yet might give a "significant advantage". I believe he ca...

Claude Regnier

Way to go Chris. I'm sure you had a great time and they sure look like they did.

We missed you in NC but we know why.

Claude Regnier

Then we just give the race sanction after the event is over as well.

We can also award points dependant upon attendance too! Oh wait that's the other guys plan. What does it really matter as you don't do a damn thing when they set course outside of the box anyways.
