We ALL had a great race. Biggest bummer was the big headwind which forced us into shortening both courses to avoid the shallower section at the finish.
As far as I know:
1- Pierre did not ask for any sanctioning.
2- It was an
outlaw, on an off-ramp of one of the busiest roads in eastern Canada, right in the middle of Montreal. It's a miracle the cops only showed up on the last run of the day. Re-running a race in any situation or of any status (time constraint) is unrealistic, much less when it's an
outlaw.
3- Hybrid was made so that everyone could have fun, Tight was made so that the more experienced racers could also challenge themself. Beginners and longboard spectators were able to witness live and appreciate what can be done on a slalom board when things get more tech: Louis ran 85 cones in 16.658 secs (including 4 cones) in a headwind on a course that was NOT straight, that's 5.1 cones per second (5.2 when calculated with his raw time). Jaws were dropping for the first-time spectators and beginners...
4- Nobody complained. Judging by the smiles on everybody's faces at the post-race party/awards at the Kebbek Racing shop, it was clearly a succes and all had a lot of fun. In fact, from what I heard there, more skaters are now going to show up at the Worlds in Ottawa who would have never made the trip just to watch.
5- That's exactly what slalom needs, Jani, resurrecting old rules. We all know we don't have enough of those...
