Slalom champions

[Jani Soderhall]

You're right Claude.

I was making similar lists a couple of weeks ago preparing for the Swedish Championships. It was a lot of work to scroll through all the results to figure out what results swedes had done in the various championships over the years.

Josef Stefka also compiled a spreadsheet years ago with the data. We should look that one up and add to it.

Anyone keen on doing a little research just "Quote" one of the listings above and help out. I can format it appropriately afterwards. Also, I would probably but the final listing up in the top menu, so it's easily accessible. That would be handy for anyone looking to verify a result or a specific rider or a specific race.

Listings needed:

Men
European Champions: tight, hybrid, giant, overall
World Champions: tight, hybrid, giant, overall

Women
European Champions: tight, hybrid, giant, overall
World Champions: tight, hybrid, giant, overall

We could start with the Pro and Womens results, but it won't be complete until we have AM, Masters and Juniors results added too. So we're in for quite some work.

I would also add a list with race locations, that'll be the easiest one to complete.

If you want to help out just grab a category, and start completing the list. ... just hit Quote on a previous list.

Thanks!

[Wesley Tucker]

Still unsure of who won the Hybrid/Slalom in 2002 and 2003.

Don't know about 2003 but in 2002 either Sharon Sidlo or Terry Brown swept it. (She was Benko then but not anymore.) I don't even believe Lynn was racing in 2002 or at least not going to major races.

I could be wrong but as I remember she and Jason both showed up in '03.

[Jonathan Harms]

Sounds good to me, Maria.

[Maria Carrasco]

Awesome JBH -- I'll grab your list then to use for my updates!

What do you guys think about moving this thread to the "results" category so it's more visible (and likely to get more updates from others)? I actually had to search around awhile to figure out where the heck it was (I had seen it before but then couldn't find it again).

[Jonathan Harms]

I checked with Lynn via Facebook messages, and she clued me in on where my list was incorrect.

Lynn won the TS in 2003 and 2004 at Morro Bay.

Noemi Reichel won both the GS and Hybrid in 2004 at Morro Bay, and the Special in 2006 in Brixlegg.

I've edited the list so it's (more) correct. Still unsure of who won the Hybrid/Slalom in 2002 and 2003.

[Wesley Tucker]

Yeah, Lynn won the GS at the 2007 Worlds. That was the race on Bluegill hill out in the country north of Statesville.

http://www.slalomskateboarder.com/phpBB ... php?t=5417

[Maria Carrasco]

JBH -- I'm not sure either -- yet. I've sent Lynn a request to help fill in the blanks so hang tight on that.

Just noticed this list is virtually all XY chromosomes. Maria, how many world titles in various disciplines has Lynn won? I'm having trouble remembering all of them!

2006 - Overall Pro US National - tie Jason Mitchell & Richy Carrasco

Getting Lynn's stats together and any others I can to provide coming up.

Maybe this thread should be given it's own heading rather than be under "random"? Probably others will get involved in adding stats if it's easier to spot.

Cheers!

[Jonathan Harms]

Good eye, Wesley. I'm pretty sure I sent Jani the 2002 Men's champion (Chicken) but not the others. FWIW, I'm pretty sure it's Barret (one t), not Barrett.

[Wesley Tucker]

I don't see any of the 2002 results here. From memory:

Overall Pro: Barrett Deck
Overall Open: Paul Price
Overall Women: Terry Brown

Pro Men's GS: Charlie Ransom
Pro Men's Hybrid: Barrett Deck

Open Men's GS: Siale Siali
Open Men's Hybrid: Paul Price

Women's GS: Terry Brown
Women's Hybrid: Terry Brown

If I remember Dylan and Lauren Gordon won the boys and girls title.

[Jani Soderhall]

I have added some clarification for the 1986 winner and added 2001: Gary Cross.

Thanks Claude and JBH for adding those corrections.

Canadian Slalom Champions

There were no National or Slalom Championships run in Canada between ‘82 (except ’86) & ’90. Then again nothing until 2006.

I will look into some old photo’s and try to determine the female winner in ’81 as I believe I may have a photo somewhere..

Not sure prior to ’81

- Jim Minty (Ottawa) or Mark Anthony (Montreal) were 1st & 2nd at the Nationals held in Ottawa in 77 or 78. It was a 16 & under only Canadian Championship. I do not know who won the Slalom event.

Mens
1981 – Claude Regnier
1982 – Claude Regnier
1986 – Claude Regnier
1990 – Claude Regnier
2006 – Mike Cividino
2007 – Mike Cividino
2008 – Louis Ricard & Sebastien Leger
2009 – Louis Ricard

Expo ‘86
Ams – 1st Jose Dematos, 2nd Dave Crab, 3rd should be in the TWS mag and will try to find it
Pro’s – 1st. Bob Skolberg, 2nd Claude Regnier, 3rd Pierre Andre
As per Times – 1st. Jose, 2nd Bob, 3rd Dave, 4th Claude, 5th Pierre, 6th Henry

[Jani Soderhall]

We still need to clarify who won the Pro class in Vancouver 1986. I don't recall if it was Skoldberg or Hester, but José won the AM class with a time faster than the winner in the Pro class, so can leave him alone in that position until we find out.

Claude, weren't you in Vancouver 86? Anybody else has the results, ideally the complete list!?
