NICE VIDS!!!

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Thu Jul 07, 2011 9:13 pm

no news on the frontpage,it is thursday already.
the positive promotional aspect of the event got lost on its way
what is a start page good for,when nobody gives a shit about it.

we just had the euros-the supposedly biggest contest in europe this year and there is nobody from the elected side who cares about it

i just want to let you know-if you ever read this-again this is also highly questionable-that there are a lot of riders out there who are very disappointed
in the weak support they receive from the issa.
thank you again for everybody who posts up something/anything

issa:baddest show on earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Giant slalom results are here

just missing overall now

Guillaume Saint-Criq · Post by **Guillaume Saint-Criq** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 2:04 pm

i support the main responsability of what happen in grenoble.
This year, as a national coordinator for ISSA, i offered Philippe (main organizer) to help him about pre-race communication and organisation.
Erika and Jani was suppose to be more on the time keeping
Pierre was helping on course setting
Lydie was responsible of cone judges team.
Desaxe is just organizer of the main event : they provide road closure, and all ammenities (food, electricity, ramps, stage ...), but race direction still in the hand of the riders and i take most of the main decisions about the race...
So i am the guy to blame :D

Erika did a fantastic job this WE, i really want to thanks her !!!
But as Jani's son broke his arm on friday, Jani was missing friday and saturday (with his laptop, Seismic spreadsheets and many other electronic stufs), so i have to deal also time keeping and others things with Erika.

I did try to get some feedback from the racer on each day.
I know some things get wrong : no laptop on friday, schedule non respect, especially on saturday
That was not what people can expect from a major race!
But i also get some positive feedback from riders , hopefully :)
Please go on with constructive feedback!

I personnaly think Cut 32 for finals is not a good solution : really long and boring for audience, time eater for organisation
Even open, main and major race must focus on top racers and use a cut 16.
My mistake again...

About the communication issue, i just do not own any smartphone allowing me to post internet things during the weekend...
but this issue seems to be easy to fix for the future

anyway, i really want to THANkS ALL RIDERS.
Even with all this work, i do have a excellent WE : it was a pleasure to see old slalom friends and to meet new riders from Germany, Russia, and others...
You all provide a great show!

ok, stop the blablabla... please wait a little for complete giant results, overall, pictures and media coverage!

Pierre Samray · Post by **Pierre Samray** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:42 pm

I know the homepage of IGSA. Nice victory of Ramon in downhill and good report. But luge and classic are not available till now! For sure presentation before, during and after the event is very important. The particularity of Grenoble which is a very good "gliss sport event" is that it's not only a slalom skate race and for sure Philippe don"t say clearly who are doing what and this can make some small problem for us. I'm sure will have a nice report on Guillaume french internet site very soon.

Hey Donald I'm looking for a large slalom truck for my giant board. What it's the maximum size of a GOG? thanks for your answer

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:06 pm

so you mean that guillaume has to play the scapegoat now pierre?
hahahaha
he doesn't deserve that for sure
but let me ask you this:is desaxe the organizer of the race of how is this whole gig split up?

somebody has to be in charge and hold the reponsibility,who is that main person who delegates the tasks?
i heard grenoble was good but then again only for grenoble.
if we don't manage to spread the word like others do,the number of participants and the general interest will dwindle more and more.
it is already lower than before thanks to the stone age homepage we have and if nobody is interested in feeding it with news it won't catch
any interest in the sport by its viewers.
the french page guillaume is running looks way better than what we have here.
then again there needs to be a structure for news.
i bet a lot of people wanted to know the results over the weekend
but if you want to see results you have to visit the igsa page-they know how to do it the right way

dang big bummer again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pierre Samray · Post by **Pierre Samray** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 11:45 am

Don't be sorry Guillaume. You're not normaly in charge of this; but as nobody from the Desaxe is in charge of it well you become the responsable. Thanks to do it, and thanks to support criticisms.
Don Agree with you about results,, but as long as it will be done by amateur staff which do that for free, taking time on their family life and work, it will be difficult to do better (specially in Grenoble because Desaxe organisation don't look after the results).
PS : I think they still are waiting the IGSA results of streetluge and classic in Maryhill.

Guillaume!! waiting the giant result! the only race I wasn't ridiculous!! ;-)

thanks again to be time setter, speaker, informatician, electrician, responsable of the result... haha Desaxe rules!

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 9:46 pm

so here comes the CONGRATS section:
DOM=RULER no training but still the best euro boy out there
MARKUS ROCH we will find a good international nickname for him soon,right now he didn't even complete his first year racing and i heard he already left an impression,people like him too,perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FERDINAND LINDNER good new addition to the team,he's out there and hungry
HOMER too much private terror prevents his talent to unfold-it will hppen for sure,sooner or later
KATHRIN she seems to be better among men than racing in the womens league-too much work here too as a major symptom
VINCE hell yeah where have you been hiding?

i hope i forgot nobody from the team,but with no actual information at hand it is hard to tell who was there and who not,i had to make a few calls here and there and finally markus and dom gave me the full story.

maybe things will be better one day and we will get the same speed and accuracy regarding race info as IGSA does it-right now it is not the case and that is very frustrating.
steve pederson did an excellent job from the american side with the help of a few good friends,things are falling apart over here again,very sad to see that.
i do not understand why it is like that,we live in the age of wireless communication and there are memory sticks available too if you want to transport info.
the weekend is over and the promotional aspect of the race has not been fulfilled,in grenoble for sure i heard,but the rest of the world remains uninformed.
i am sure criticism will follow my post,but i stand for what i said here!!!!!!!!!!
more than disappointing.

Vincent Tanguy · Post by **Vincent Tanguy** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 6:34 pm

Here are the top 5 overall riders (no rumours, even if i'm not a contest official) :

1- Dominik Kowalski, won Giant and Special
2-Janis Kuzmins, won Straight
3- Viking Hadestrand
4- Mika Hadestrand
5- Gustavs Gailitis

And, if I have good memory, in the top 12 stand Robert Thiele, Michel Dupont, Christoph Bauman, Chris Schutz, Joseph Stefka, Viktor Hadestrand and Ferdinand Lindner (more or less in this order).

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:47 pm

rob...i had to call around to get results in too-
DOMINATOR is the keyword for this years euros again.
unfortunately we could not find decent results in time on this page and forum

Rob Ashby · Post by **Rob Ashby** » Mon Jul 04, 2011 1:26 pm

A Major status race with only rumoured results? What's all that about - any final results?

Sj Kalliokoski · Post by **Sj Kalliokoski** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:53 pm

More rumors from today qualis
1:Dom..2:Janis..3:Viking..4:Mika

Jani Soderhall · Post by **Jani Soderhall** » Sun Jul 03, 2011 12:26 am

All I know is:

Straight:

1. Janis Kuzmins, LAT
2. Dominik Kowalski, GER

Viking should be up there in the top too, but Dominik took him out on the way to the finals. Christopher Dupont got good reviews too but I didn't ask for exact results. Hey, it's after midnight and time to put the kids in bed.

Janis has set the course for tomorrow and to avoid any goofy/regular bias the German team then mirrored the other course. Should provide a nice show tomorrow.

The site looks excellent and there's a big concert just next to it. This is one fine race location and Philippe has all aspects covered. This is truly a big race. All good reviews from the guys I've spoken to tonight (Dom, Lindner, Chris, Homer, Kathrin).

Jani

Looking forward to some great racing tomorrow.

And will be shorter and easier Giant Slalom for Kids? I can bring my son but slope 10% is very fast for 8 years boy.

Josef,

Great if you come! Just do the PayPal payment. Bring your receipt so that you can show it at sign up, just in case.

For the GS I don't know. I will only come on Saturday morning.
I will bring my boys; one 12 yrs and the other soon 13 yrs. They will be good competition for your son Saturday, Sunday!
We are staying at Hotel Gallia.

Hotel Gallia (7 Boulevard du Maréchal Joffre - 38000 Grenoble), Tél +33 4 76 87 39 21
(Double rooms for around EUR 55-61, possible with extra bed too, so if you are three maybe it's a better solution than the youth hostel. Very close to the contest site).

See you in the weekend!

Don,

There are 15 on the list so far (but none from Germany!)
More riders coming, but still it seems a bit weak for a European Championships.

i think they update this list manually, checking to their database.
I will mail Philippe (organizer) about this.

About paypal information, i will come back to you soon with the good email

Hi,
I tried to register two days ago, but sofar I cant see that I am on the list. I also expect a e-mail for the Pay-Pal information. And there is only nine people on the list. Is there any wrong with the registration procedure?

No GS for the Dutch kids either. I might have a go at it though!

Jani Soderhall · Post by **Jani Soderhall** » Mon May 23, 2011 10:14 am

I'd be interested to know if there are any younger juniors coming to Grenoble. Flavio is about to bring his 9 year old. I'll bring Alexei 11 (will by 12 by then) and Dimitri (12 also). I hope Irene and Zaccaria from Italy are coming too, and Irene could race in the boys/girls category. (born 1998, so turning 13 this year). Anyone else bringing their kids so that we can have a real race for the little ones?

We'll be there only for the Saturday and Sunday. No GS for me or the kids this time around!

Jani Soderhall · Post by **Jani Soderhall** » Fri May 20, 2011 5:22 pm

Don, i think (and hope) there is, included into registration form, what we called in french "droit à l'image" (i do not know how to translate) : it means that skaters give to organizer all rights about pictures/videos taken during the event.

Then, considering the sexy bib Don is wearing on the picture, i am quite sure this pics had be taken during one previous edition

So i think there is no legal blame to make against the organizer...

That being said, i am not involved neither in this design, neither in this organisation (i am just giving advices for the race schedule and prize money allocation... i also take my ISSA national coordinator role with diffusing infos about french events) and i fully agree with you if we said that a courtesy email could have been send before...
