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 ?

Bugs,

We are dealing with skaters here.... The way some of em carry on, you can never be sure if they are in hiding or witness protection!

Cents, I don't think the shape of the nose really matters.

Bernie, real names are the way to go - in theory they don't change from race to race.

nice one Bugs.

For the Melbourne race, do you want a translation for the incomplete names, or do you want me to use the same names that you have?

How important is the nose on a slalom board? I know its to clear cones better if you hit them. I'm going to redrill my fibretec croco so it has a bit of nose (the trucks sit right up front) and was wondering if it is worth the effort The board is thin compared to the 5.0 bennet and 83a inheats and I can see them clipping the cones anyways.
