That Ranking system would be very good to have, specially on this site, which is  the rightful place for such a thing.

It is clear from what Robbo put on the other site, that we now have to look after slalom ourselves, and as a result I am no longer sure of what resources are available on this site for such a thing.

Marek, seems like a good idea, so unless someone comes up with some reasons why it's a bad idea I'll get the ball rolling re the rankings infrastructure and everything else.

I recon we go with a perpetual slalom ranking same as downhill, easy to do just use the same criteria as ASRA has for downhill, 1 month notice etc etc. and start listing the rankings. We can still have a crowning/presentation at or near the end of the year. Thoughts?

Marek,

Was good that you could make it, and bad that you missed the ditch.

Since we had an Interstate competitor, does that mean it qualifies as CHC2011, ROUND 1???

Thanks to all the Melboure crew for being so rad and welcoming to this sydney slalomer. Big thanks to the organisers and particularly to The Bear for running me back to the city on a cold rainy Melbourne night.

 

Was great to see some younger longboarders having a blast trying to beat their own times. Slalom is one of those things that is not that appealing to look at but huge fun when you are doing it.

we got rained out of the ditch tonight, so we went to Monash Uni.
The bitumen lower deck was wet also, so we went to the upper deck, which does not allow a very long run. So we had a Z shaped course, with easy cone spacing, and 26 racers. The skill was in getting around the tight corners and pumping to keep up speed. Skateboarders of both slalom and downhill disciplines attended and had a blast. Timing was done by homemade wireless timer.
Prizes were awarded for
1 - Marty
2 - Brady Lane
3 - Wedge
most improved - Seb
best slam - rainer
and
furthest distance travelled - Marek.

It was not fancy or very difficult, but it was F'n Cold, so everyone stayed warm by having to work hard on a slow course that needed lots of pumping.

Big props to the sponsors, Globe and Goliath.
The really good prizes have been held back for the ditch!

Next week the ditch is going to be dry...no I really mean it this time!
