ISSA - International Slalom Skateboarding Association

I just heard the race series is going to start on October 18 at Italie 2, so I thought I'd put this post up here to get this topic started. Hopefully someone with more info can make the real announcement.

Hi,
I´m Thinking about to go to race in Paris on 18.October 2009.
What about in case of rain? Is there any possibility to
make the session indoor (Under some Bridge or Tunnel )?
Please let me know. I would really like to come to skate and
to have fun. Who is the contact Person ?

Best regards

Hi Robert,

I don't know anything about the race, but I intend to go there. I wanted the kids to be participate, and maybe I will get on a board too, we'll see. Haven't stood on a board for a few years now.

Not so far from the race place there is a place where you can skate under the metro. That's probably what we'll do if it's raining.

If you haven't sorted out a place to stay, come stay with me!

Let see if someone comes with more info.

See riderz.net for all Pirate slaloms 2009/2010.

Location: "Esplanade Italie 2", avenue d'Italie, Paris.
Location - It's the spot to the right of the avenue, "B".
Time: about 10 - 18
When it rains, the race will take place one week later...
Organizer: mail him via http://riderz.net/forum/profile.php?mod ... file&u=544

Please note:
1) "Italie" is partly sheltered. There is no real alternative according to the topic on Riderz.net.
2) There are many organizers in France, but you could try Vincent or Jani (PM me with your e-mail address and I'll ask them to contact you)
3) Trocadéro dries very fast when it has rained. It contains various tight, special and giant tracks, so bring your cones.

There is an place to skate under the metro (like I said) and I've seen a Pirate race happen there before, but there is not enough room for parallel and it's probably not so long.

Trocadero dries quickly, but this is not on Trocadero. Also, you don't need to bring cones. There is plenty of it. (Hans Lucas made a copy and paste from somewhere else...)
Italie 2 is not partly sheltered. At least not enough to stop the rain as far as I recall.

Other usesulf info include: It is almost flat, but the surface is excellent. Kind of short also. Limited push start will be used.

I would also rely Riderz.net for accurate info. But I haven't been there for a while.

Bear in mind that the Pirate races are not too serious. They're almost like regular sessions, but with a timer and an awards ceremony. Ideal for skaters who begin and want to enter their first race.

Hi Jani,
thank you for your answer.
I will probably decide one or two days before.
In Moment it looks no more so good with my time..
But maybe I go there.
I would like to participate on some small nice family race.
(No Status, No Points just Fun on Slalom Skateboarding)
Could you please send my your Phone Nr. ?

Had a great time today. About 30 skaters joined for this years first Pirates race. The cool thing about this event series is that it's a really good starter event for anyone who's interested in trying out slalom. There were a whole lot of newbies, but also a few of the fastest French guys around. Looking at the number of guys that showed up and the motivation, the sport is doing just fine on the local scene here!

There were three Soderhalls in the event, and as far as race photography this time around, it's mostly centered on my own kids!


Riders meeting prior to the first event.


Dimitri Soderhall and ...


Eglantine


Alexei Soderhall


Alexei Soderhall


Jean-Sebastien annouces the results of the first event (23 participants). 1st place: Michel Dupont!


Pierre Hazera and Marc Camelan


Guillaume, a friend of my kids - first time on a slalom deck. A bit more practise and he'll be doing fine too!


Alexei and Dimitri Soderhall (and to the right their friend Octavia, here on a scooter, but she's been practising some slalom, so maybe she'll enter a later Pirate Race in Paris).


...and these two guys are just too fast, so it was difficult to get a got shot of them:
Christopher and Michel Dupont


The next race is Nov 15.

/Jani

Looks like you had a great race!!!
Nice to see Estonian board for Alexei

Who won - Duponts, right?

Next race is Sunday Nov 15 - this Sunday!

Place: Cours de Vincennes (close to Place de la Nation).

Time: 10-17h.

Spot: Flat and good surface.

The rest of the Pirates will be on non-flat locations. The idea was to get the new riders up to speed with easy locations.

/Jani

Thanks Jani ! I forget sometimes that i'm registered here too...

Results of the last race :

Yes, Michel Dupont won... But Vinzzz was not here, and anyway it was tight against his son Chritopher and Marco !

We are expecting maybe as much people next time coming from Paris, Bordeaux, and Grenoble...
The race will consist on a cyber slalom Riderz and a dual special race.
As said Jani, the spot is flat (i know... it's the only flat race of the season)

Considering the weather forecast, i will announce on friday if the race will stand or not (and moved to the next sunday on 22)

Joins us on RiderZ and Facebook ! mouhahaha...

humm... should be a -almost- sunny sunday on Paris !

I'm in

The two fastest of todays race - Pirate II:


Marc Camelan


Pierre Hazera

These two guys dominated both the straight, cyberstyle slalom held in a tunnel due the humidity and the special slalom held at the Daumesnil Avenue sidewalk. Not as many participants as last time, but with rain in the morning people were obviously less motivated!

The next race is at the Trocadero, December 13.

Thanks Jani for your pics !

I've heard of a Christmas event on the Trocadero's slopes.
I will check but i'm thinking of another spot. Anyway, we will stay in Paris.

NEXT RACE THIS SUNDAY in Paris 12e !
(no Trocadero, it's closed, it will be next time !)

Race will be a Cyber Slalom Riderz and a small giant Slalom.
Google view of the first spot
Giant slalom spot is 1km ahead.

Informations on the Riderz.net forum ! http://www.riderz.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... 354#458354

Next Pirate race would probably be on january the 24, due to the weather in Paris !
(still a lot of snow on the ground...)

Actually, there is only salt left on the road...
That should be clean for the next Pirate Race :

TROCADERO, January 24
All day long, slalom hybrid and giant !

(Race will be moved to the 31 if rain on the 24)

The race is cancelled today...
Weather...

When the first skaters arrived at Trocadero this morning they discovered a fence around the whole area following an event yesterday, so no skating possible.

After a few attempts to skate in the park nextdoors, and being thrown out, the event was postponed until next weekend: Oct 3.

Let's hope for good weather and good attendance. I'll be bringing three-four kids.

Jani,

Thanks Stas!

Good to see you are on the forum. I hope all is well. Hope we meet next year at a race, then you can see the kids skate. With a few Pirate races in the winter I hope they get a little bit more practice. I was too lazy to really take them skating more than just a few times this summer!

/Jani

Thank You Jani, I'm fine.

My daughter has began with skateboarding too. I hope, in two years we can make a competition between our families.

I want next year to take part in 2-3 contests.
