Comment by Robbo on May 21, 2011 at 8:27: a general comment on racing, rankings and races. Slalom needs to operate more like the downhill. No need for a series just bang down the races tie it together with perpetual rankings meaning people don't always have to travel all over the country to get a race and a ranking. Local jams get proper recognition, people put on more local races to get points and generally have fun. If people need insurance, infrastructure, automated formats, rego systems or some general admin stuff, they hit up ASRA the same way the downhill kids do whom seem to be able to put on a race every other weekend.

As far as ranking points go if you put the extra effort and get down a legit race than the ranking points available to that race are higher. You also get more points if you get more people to your race no matter what the level

Comment by Robbo on May 21, 2011 at 8:14: Welcome to my world Bear, I've been losing points for 5 years now. Instead of points you just get that warm fuzzy feeling that people don't fully understand unless you have not raced for the purpose of running an event

Nice turnout Bernie, jeez we need more ditch races. Bugs is gonna need some full names rather than nicknames if possible in order to put them in the rankings

Premium Member Comment by DA BEAR on May 21, 2011 at 8:00: Also timing crews who do the hard yards and dont ride,

should get a default placing of 5 1/2.

read btwn the lines,
Bernie and i didnt ride for a time last night, valuable points lost!

Thanks to Globe, Goliath and Macs Snow Sports.

Racers paid $2 to race, and entered a raffle for a very cool Globe longboard to run,so we were able to raise some useful cash for the MOSS water project in Swaziland.

Bugs if you want to add these results to the proposed ranking system you have flagged 7 posts back, send me a pm and I can send it to you in csv format.

Did you get the results that I sent last week, cause Marek really did earn some some points?

Comment by Bozac on May 21, 2011 at 1:21: I'm all for a ranking system, it would be good if sessions like church at Allawah were actual grassroots events. It would definitely push people to improve and then maybe have a national championship once a year. Sort of like how downhill has the oz outlaw series with Newton's so it would bring everyone together for at least one event to determine who is boss

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on May 20, 2011 at 22:31: I'm keen on a ranking system (like there used to be).

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on May 20, 2011 at 22:27: The irony of a skateboard racing site where one form of racing makes up about 50% of the site, around 40% freeriding and sliding (none of which is actually racing) and the rest goes to all other forms of racing.

Premium Member Comment by Marek on May 20, 2011 at 22:03: That's great if you can get that started Bugs. Might be unfair to include any races so far but as I came a career best 10th in Melbourne I'm open to persuasion.

Premium Member Comment by Marek on May 20, 2011 at 22:00: Jeez Bernie shouldn't you be in the Ditch! Hope its not raining again.

While Charlie is fine for discussions I think this site works better for organising races and more formal sessions. Also I trust ASRA will still be able to provide insurance for legal races and loans of equipment etc for other races.

Maybe there could be a more formal way to request insurance cover and equipment loans? An application form or a particular committee member who acts as the go to person or something might smooth the way.

Rip up that Ditch Bernie!
