And we also had some really fine thropies for the record setters...

Stockholm have been rain, rain, rain and then some rain. This saturday morning however we had a small break in the rain and the sthlm crew rushed out to try the 100. We did it at a new hill outside of stockholm and we did it at 170cm even spacing throughout the course.

We did have a small tailwind that we didn't really need, so we popped out the spacers used 66mm wheels and lost the speedrings to survive. The course could be a little more open and I believe we could do it with more confidence. Or we could also try and practice more often.

Anyways, two world records was set;
In the regular 100 open class Marcus Seyffarth got 18.82 + 4 cones = 19.22 (ironic this is the exact same time that the unofficial record I set two years ago.) In the Masters regular 100 class Fabian Björnstjerna got 19.49 + 9 cones = 20.39.

We ran 6 runs each and these are the full results:
Johan Thiel: 23.61+15 / 22.07+14 / 21.30+12 / 20.41+12 / DQ / 19.96+10
Marcus Seyffarth: 18.69+6 / 18.50+8 / DQ / 18.60+9 / DQ / 18.82+4
Fabian Björnstjerna: DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / 19.49+9 / DQ
Hans Göthberg: DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ
Peter Klang: DNS
Antonio Saluena: DNS

The same beautiful unedited documentation as for the 50 could be found here.

The run with me is my 18.60+9.

Thank you!

Good documentation. I like the course with every 10 cones a different color.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you to the Santa Cruz Police for putting up with us and all the walkers and joggers. I will submit all info and photos later.

Can folks post if the women were masters so Cat and I know were we stand in the results. Thanks

Where are the Latvian 100 cone times?

Martin Drayton · Post by **Martin Drayton** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 11:38 am

I think we have ALL the 50 cone runs on film, some of the Cybers and stills of the venue, timing set-up, measuring of cones etc.
At some point I guess the Worldwide results will be collated and we can crown the new Champions, we are all waiting with baited breath to see if we have a junior World Champ!

We filmed the parts that we thought was necessary to document to get this valid. Hopefully it will do the job, I didn't edit the video at all, so it is tape measurements, counting of cones, alignment of start and stop switches all mixed up with a few runs. The one where I follow Hans Göthberg is actually his fastest clean run of the day (10.20).

We had some minor headwind - but it was so little that we didn't bother to switch directions. Next time we will hopefully be in a better mood and nail one of those 9.50 runs.

Pat - Please let us know if the film is good enough documentation so that we know what to do when documenting the 100.

Michael - Great record! Now its really unbeatable

Is this the new masters record as well?

George - I guess the 19.22 from september 2006 was not official enough. We'll fix that soon

GET WELL SOON ANTONIO!!!!!

Well, we did our best in cold, nasty, wintery, grey conditions...can't beat an English Summer!
Here are the results:

ISSA Record attempts Hove, UK 7th September 2008

Results.
50 cone
1.10.53 sec Martin Drayton (Master)
2.10.97 sec Louis “Slipa” Selby (Men)
3.11.13 sec Paul Price (Men)
4.12.36 sec Paul “Crowbar” Nolan (Men)
5.13.00 sec Jack Corpes (Junior)-to be confirmed.
6.13.59 sec Mmedo Duffort (Men)

I couldn't improve on my 10.16 sec in the sunshine of 2 weeks ago and Paul Price fell early on dislocating his shoulder, but Louis and Jack showed us a glimpse of the future of British skating!

Cyber Slalom
1.8.035 sec Louis “Slipa” Selby (Men)
2.8.908 sec Mike “Old School”Allison (Men)
3.9.09 sec Mmedo “1848” Duffort (Men)
4.9.437 sec Jack Corpes (Junior)
5.10.20 sec Tony Lord (Men)
6.10.26 sec Paul “Crowbar” Nolan (Men)
7.12.01 sec Steve “Munchh” Rhodes (Men)
8.12.08 sec Mark “Weatherwitch” Roberts (Master)
9.12.56 sec Ryan (?) (Junior)
10.13.92 sec Mikey Corpes (Junior)

Bear in mind that Louis only got ONE run, (beating Michael Dong's old record) as he had to leave with the injured Paul, so who knows what he is capable of! Well done Michael coming out of retirement to take back your crown!
As for the rest of the guys, this was the FIRST time most of them had ever seen a Cyber course, Old School Mike having only started this Summer AND his time was gained riding a G&S Warptail, Trackers and old Abec 11 Stingers!!!!

A great effort by all involved, thanks to Michael for timing gear and to Munchh for getting it and keeping it running. A special mention to Hazel Corpes who valiantly coneheaded and took down times while frozen to the core-awesome!

Martin Drayton.

Jonathan Harms · Post by **Jonathan Harms** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 4:42 am

Paul Graf and I tried 100 cones yesterday and today in Alton, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. Jeff Goad rode with us yesterday. Mellow hill with decent pavement (8 out of 10). Yesterday was about 5' 9" spacing measured by footsteps, today was exactly 6' on center, lined up along a measuring tape.

Goad's been skating but hasn't ridden slalom in months. Still, he made the only clean run on Saturday, a fairly careful 30.211. Later he turned up the speed but got a little dirtier. Paul tried to run slow but clean, but after about 50 cones the "slow" part couldn't be maintained, so he ended with a 33.284 (33.084 plus two cones). He also went balls-out later--fastest raw time was 28.281 with a few cones (exact number not recorded). I had a devil of a time with the 5'9" spacing, with many a spectacular blowout. Best raw time was 20.742, with 7 cones.

Today's 6' spacing was much easier, but because of the longer course, my times were slower. (Paul took a few runs but was mainly spectating.) I had one clean run, on which--naturally--the timer wasn't reset. Two runs later I had a one-coner, which ended up being my best time overall.

Best times:

Goad: 26.617 raw plus 7 cones = 27.317
Graf: 25.191 raw plus 8 cones = 25.991
JBH: 21.155 plus 1 cone = 21.255

I made many good runs up to about 80 or 90 cones, but toward the end (especially yesterday) it became VERY difficult to maintain my mental focus. I simply could...not...make...myself...look...ahead...and the cones just came too fast. As others have mentioned in the past, somewhere around 70 or 80 cones it seems to become almost more of a mental thing than a physical one. I enjoyed the challenge tremendously, though, and learned a lot.

Mainly, I learned that I'm no Luca (or Ramon, or Janis, or Dominik, or Pappasino, etc., etc., etc.). My hat is off--or perhaps I should say my helmet is off--to all those truly fast guys. I'm really amazed at their mental AND physical abilities. I may not be quite as fast as they are, but I'm honored to be able to race against them, and to use them as examples to push myself to my own personal best.

Louis Selby · Post by **Louis Selby** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 1:09 am

Well done to everyone on their results!

Antonio, all the best! Get well soon, I'm glad to hear you're on the mend and thinking about skating already!

marcus, I thought you had the 100cone record of 19.24 that I saw on youtube.

my best is 19.27

lets get away from anything flat

I was at the spot when Antonio landed...really really scarry, worst i have ever seen!!!

Hes doing all right and asked Johan Thiel when we´d skate again.....

i think we will have a go at 50 cones with our mental status in order..just for the hell of it.

But 100-thats a hole new ballgame. (If the rain could stop)

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:48 pm

Pappasino - my math says that 19.25+0.8 = 20.05 and that is a record by 0.49 seconds from the 20.56 that Luca has. So I'd say you have a world record right there...

In stockholm we had rain all day yesterday, and all night as well. At 11.30 sunday it started to dry on our backup locatation in Täby. Just before the course was all dry Antonio cruised through it, slid out and faceplanted right on the curb. I wasn't at the venue when it happened but when I got there 10 minutes later he was on a stretcher getting oxygen with blood all over. Not what you want to see when you get to a race...

The ambulance got him to the hospital and they did all kinds of scans on him and it seems he is ok, however he have a major concusion and will stay the night from what I've heard.

Get well Antonio!

When Johan and Fabian got back to the venue from the hospital we decided to do some runs just for the sake of it but none was really in the mood. However we improved the 50 cones record six times. This is the order in which we improved the record.

Marcus Seyffarth 12.05
Hans Göthberg 11.66
Marcus Seyffarth 10.54
Hans Göthberg 10.29
Marcus Seyffarth 10.13
Marcus Seyffarth 9.93

Fabian Björnstjerna set a new record for masters in the 50 cones as well at 10.06

These are the fastest runs per racer:
Marcus 9.93
Fabian 10.06
Götis 10.20
Johan 10.77

Since we got rained out on saturday, we will try to do the 100 this week.

George pappas · Post by **George pappas** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 9:09 pm

no record in göteborg. my fast time was 19.25 plus eight cones followed by Wadston,19.41 plus eight, then Mika with 20.62 plus 4 cones. no clean runs, but Mika had a smokin' fast run with only one but no time recorded. fastest raw 19.18 plus 14.

ALL THREE EXCUSES APPLY!

Maybe next time

Update:

We are doing the 25 and 50 on the levee first in Santa Cruz. The traffic is not good in the am Sunday in San Jose due to the church traffic.

Thanks.

Judi Oyama wrote:I am planning to run 3 races on September 7, 2008 Sunday

The first race will be the 100 in San Jose on Bernal in the am if the wind, weather, and if we have a small crowd. If we have to many I do not want to jeopardize our only good hill.

I plan is, we would start at 7:00 am and get off the hill in San Jose by 11:00 am latest.

We will run the 25 and 50 on the Santa Cruz Levee which is flat and it is easy to run the course both ways and get a time.

Drive to Santa Cruz and skate starting at 1:00 and do the 25 cone race 2 runs each and get times and then the 50 2 runs each and get a time.

Any questions please contact me.

slalomrankings@sbcglobal.net

I wanted to do it local so we could save time and money instead of traveling South or North.

I will go by the rules. John Ravitch is going to help.

Hardly enough time considering there is a big race in Grenoble next weekend and the IGSA downhill event at Eastbourne, where some participants of the world record attempts will/may want to be.

And the London venue has been violated by barriers for a running race making that venue probably unusable too. Even if dry.

Two weeks?.....

14 days?

Ok all right, twist my arm. A fortnight?

Pat, If we cannot run the event at either venue (London & South Coast), can we postpone it and still keep our status? Or is it this weekend or bust?

I think a 1-week rain-postponement would be OK..... but not an indefinite postponment

On the subject of improvement of times:

Marcus Seyffarth wrote:I know this is a little bit late and perhaps not the right thead, but I really don't see a reason for records having to be 0.05 seconds better. Is is 0.01 second better then its a new record I think. This is not high jump where you could beat the record with as little as possible lots of times. Anybody agree?

I think Michael Dong is on record as saying it can take weeks to knock 0.01 off a Cyber time and a lot of effort. If you go faster, its an improvement no matter how small the increment! Surely?

Martin.

I agree. Five hundredths of a second is not insignificant, even over a 20-second race. Swimming, track & field (from the 100 meters to the marathon), drag racing (?)--if it beats the existing record, it's a new record. Why should slalom be any different?

I know this is a little bit late and perhaps not the right thead, but I really don't see a reason for records having to be 0.05 seconds better. Is is 0.01 second better then its a new record I think. This is not high jump where you could beat the record with as little as possible lots of times. Anybody agree?

Alas, it looks like the record* may not fall after all--it's supposed to be only 80° outside (26° C). Still, we'll give it a shot. Looks like it'll only be PG and me.

Hahaha, well its a record that could be hard to beat...

We haven't run any qualifications--hell, we haven't run sh!t--but that won't stop us!

Details:

100 cones

Alton, Illinois

Piasa Bird (not much of a) Hill--on the Great River Road, about 1 mile north/west of the Alton Belle casino

Saturday or Sunday, Sept. 6 or 7--whichever day we can drag more people out of their summer stupor and into the jungle-like humidity and heat.

We will break the world record*, guaranteed.

/J-Rad

Measurements are from center to center of cones, never to the edge of the cone.

Cone sizes are outlined in the slalom skateboarding rules....

We ran some qualifications this weekend and the fastest qualifier happens to be racing in the masters category...

Michael Stride · Post by **Michael Stride** » Sun Aug 31, 2008 9:21 am

Can we confirm official cone sizes?

Dont want anyone using cones from a Lego set!

Like the look of the Latvian set up, especially the way you have to start and finish at the same end! (joke)

And what arrived in the email today?:

Guinness World Records Smashed is a new one-hour TV special from Outline Productions and SKY1. It's taping before a live audience on the 2nd and 3rd October, for screening early December on Sky1, and THEY WANT YOU!

If you have ideas for record-breaking attempts that you want to attempt before a wildly enthusiastic audience, or would be willing to film for screening throughout the special, shoot an email through to smashed@outlineproductions.co.uk and let them know your ideas.

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 2:12 pm

We intend to do all three events but will have pretty hard qualifications in order to avoid picking up cones all day. Unfortunately its been raining every day for the last 2 weeks so this far no one have qualified

For the same reason I haven't been to the hill to document it in a proper way. However we will run 25 and 50 on one street (most likely only 50 since no one in sweden is close to Michael Dongs record)

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=59.2 ... 3&t=h&z=18

The 100 will be run on another street (or actually bike path/sidewalk). We will run the 100 cones at 170cm center center. I feel pretty confident that we will break Lucas record, question is if someone will be even faster somewhere else?

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=59.2 ... 3&t=h&z=18

Finally since the weather has sucked badly the last couple of weeks I gotta ask this; if it rains on the raceday can we postpone the race and run it the first available sunny day (i.e june 17:th 2034)?

Hi Pat,

In an effort to keep travelling costs down AND get maximum people to get a shot at a record we look like we will be having two venues in the UK. We have a great talent pool of fast racers and record breakers or not, everyone is out to have a good time.
Unfortunately due to our lack of a good 100 cone venue the attempts will be 25 and 50 cone only.
There is a slim chance that a 100 cone attempt will take place at Finsbury Park, but we will keep you posted.
So it will be:

SUNDAY 7TH SEPTEMBER 2008.

Hyde Park, London-25 and 50 cone record attempts.

Hove Lawns, Brighton-25 and 50 cone record attempts.

NCDSA sign-up is here:

We cannot use our 100-cone hill, so we are going only for the 50-cone and 25-cone records.

Sunday Sept 7th. At PCC Rock creek

I am planning to run 3 races on September 7, 2008 Sunday

The first race will be the 100 in San Jose on Bernal in the am if the wind, weather, and if we have a small crowd. If we have to many I do not want to jeopardize our only good hill.

I plan is, we would start at 7:00 am and get off the hill in San Jose by 11:00 am latest.

We will run the 25 and 50 on the Santa Cruz Levee which is flat and it is easy to run the course both ways and get a time.

Drive to Santa Cruz and skate starting at 1:00 and do the 25 cone race 2 runs each and get times and then the 50 2 runs each and get a time.

Any questions please contact me.

slalomrankings@sbcglobal.net

I wanted to do it local so we could save time and money instead of traveling South or North.

I will go by the rules. John Ravitch is going to help.

Thanks,

Judi Oyama
