From where did your time measuring start?

Woooow,
That means I was faster then Marcus on the last 50 cones.
I´m to old and to scared to match marcus time, but it was great fun.

Charlety ! the new tramway line should start next month and it looks like Charlety will still be the same wide long medium slope spot, there's no tarmac now but it's getting close :D
We'll have the tram where there used to be the bicycle line, looks OK, doesn't it ?

Bois de Boulogne is perfect for a 100 cones, even more.

This one I got from Peter Törnestam, but I know Corky had his camera as well so expect to have another (more hi-res) version up soon.

Also I'm pretty sure sub 19, perhaps 18.50 clean is possible with a few more tries, practice and fresh legs. We only had three runs each but I was suffering... Just setting up the course, marking 100 cones and setting up all timer stuff is quite some work for an old man like me... :)

Can we have it one day?

I think this is pretty amazing. I didn't expect it to happen unless people got really serious about practicing for it. Hmm, apparently you are...

Keep going, close to clean runs would look even better!

As a bonus we had split time set up at 50 cones to get more info about what was happening, so the full times would be

Marcus 9.81/18.97 + 7 cones (confirmed by video. 4 was at the last 10... all 7 after 80 or so)
Anders 9.67/18.34 + 16 (confirmed by video?)
Peter 11.17/20.17 + ???

The hill is the worst possible, a sidewalk that is next to a highway going the opposite direction. The sidewalk is also slightly banked towards the road so every cone popped into the driveway. A few cones was lost due to they got stuck under cars passing by... We were just waiting for the cops to show up. It could be ok at nigth I guess, so we'll just have to wait until next midsummer or so... Or find another hill.

Holy smoke, I didn't expect that to happen!

But it's really, really cool!!!

On a sidenote:

New (unofficial) World Record 100 cones

Just want to inform everybody of what´s keeping us warm up in sweden.

We ran a 100 cones 1,60m center to center on a (for me way to steep hill) smooth hill in the warm sun, record warm for october in Stockholm.

Well the results...

1. Marcus Seyffarth 18,97 + 7 cones = 19,67
2. Anders Hellquist 18,34+16 cones = 19,94
3. Peter Klang 20,14 + Well we gotto watch the video = ???

I would love to see Luca on that hill, My guess is sub 19 with cones.
Marcus will do it clean some day, then will see if he will stay sub 19.

As for me, well it was one of the scariest sessions, very fast 5 cone per second for me.
Super fast 5,5 cones per second for Andyboy and Macster.

6 cones per second, well not me but it would give a raw time of 16,66 I don't think it's possible.
