Would the ranking be perpetual or just worked out per calandar year? If it is per year and not just your last seven races then seven is too high and it just keeps the racer with the most frequent flyer points on top. There might only be 7 or 8 races included this year total.

I don't think four races per year is too low even if it gives Sydney based racers a slight advantage.

By the way thanks for all your work on this Bugs.

Silverlight sucks but i must have had it on my work computer already.

if mt keira is to be closed off for downhill racing any chance of a sneaky SGS event? or aren't there enough cones in the country for a course that long? it would be rad to see some international guys like ramon and zak maytum charging the cones if they were out for newtons

Yep, it's doable - MAX function indeed.

But a system of bonus points for people who travel would require knowing where they live, and knowing where each race is, and having some system of weighting for travelling various distances, or a threshold distance that must be travelled. Way too hard to keep track of for me.

Bugs, that idea is workable. Can you build a worksheet that selects the best seven results for each racer? (MAX function possibly). The only thing that I can think of adding to it is bonus points for racers that compete outside their home state, rather than racking up points from 100% home events, as an extra incentive to promote a national comp.

Marek, the link demands that I download and install silverlight, which is a bit over the top just to watch a video.

Re the rankings, I reckon we should determine a maximum number of races per year that can be included in a person's points tally. The question is; what should this number be? If it is to err I think it should err on the high side.

Seven?

These results are rankings rather than cone head cup results where the worst two results would be excluded, making the result a bit more sensible.

But I presume that even the ranking might need some more voodoo maths to make sure that the top rank isn't just the guy who attended the most races.

But this week at least I'm dining out on my number one ranking ;)

Yeah Bozac.....That's rad. seen the photo before. That shows the need for a larger bottom radius in the design for sure.  

Already got some designs happening for some more height to my 1650mm (5ft,4") high take off.

Larger radius at the bottom is the go. Less compression from the drop.

I'm thinking between 3.6m & 4.8m radius up to the 45* incline, a bit more length on the 45* section & it should be up around the 2.4m (8ft) height. Similar to whats in the video, but more user friendly & do-able on longboards.

 

Nice one Marek, that's dedication.

How many races are in the results ?

I'm not trying to give PC ideas or anything, but this is GNAR
