The problem was not the speed, but the course setting itself. You said you were going to make a course possible for all categories of racers. That was definitely not the case. I'm all for speed, but with courses adapted to it. It was very sad to see skaters hit 20 cones in a single run. It wasn't good publicity for slalom racing.
The surface is not super at La Garoupe hill, but it's not super at the flat parking lot either. I prefer a faster special to a flat special.
Don't let the race continue too late into the evening. In 2003 we had so much moist on the ramp four consecutive racers fell when going down the ramp (Strobel, Ugolini and other top racers!!). Just run the finals immediately after the qualification. Start the Giant early in the morning (at least am). Let the Pros have a small training window after the am class, so we all have a chance to warm up. Make controlled practise runs. 1 or 2 for everyone, no jamming. It's not suited when a single run takes so much time (and effort from both racers and cone marshals). But oops, I'm kind of off topic now. This should apply to every race.pierre samray wrote:Saturday night : Special final
