We gotta have a Swedish Champion this year as well, so the stockholm crew will organize (?) some kind of race on the first of september.
The plan is as usual to keep it fun, simple and gemythlich as we say. In Sweden we believe that is done best by having three events in one day. So we start of with straight slalom @ 09.00. Two warmup runs, Two qualify runs and then head 2 head.
We then move on to a the special, which will be fairly tight, but not impossible. Same rules, two warmup runs, two qualify runs and then head to head.
These events will be held at Tantolunden in Stockholm
MAP TO RACE (The race will be on the road above the mini golf course towards the boats)
This spot is freshly paved, with a short descent at the start (25meters) , and then almost flat for the rest 80-90 meters.
After this we will (hopefully) move on to do a GS, where everyone gets 4 runs. This GS spot is untested this far but seems very promising. Its only 5 minutes by skateboard from the first spot.
We will do our best to make sure everyone gets to participate in the head to head. If less than 16 participate the best qualifiers will get a BYE in the first round. If more than 16 but less than 32 will show up the first will get a BYE.
If everything moves on extremely smooth OR if the GS doesn't work, perhaps we'll give the 100 cone course a go. Nothing is impossible, get ready for a whole day of slalom!
Anyways. The starting fee is 50SEK (~6€). There is only one class. There won't be any prize money since we don't have any sponsors, there won't be any giveaways either but hopefully there will be trophies to the top 3 in each event. We will use a tiny start ramp (50cm) which has no transition and really is not very good. But it works. There is no real organization, there are no ranking points (no one bothered to send in the application) and it will probably rain. There won't be a lunch break, you gotta fix the food yourself (there are stores and restaurants close by). But despite that everyone is welcome! And if you come we will make sure you get to skate a lot and compete against the very best skaters in the woooooooooooooooooooooooooooorld!
