2008 ISSA World Record Weekend -- discussion

GET WELL SOON ANTONIO!!!!!

Well, we did our best in cold, nasty, wintery, grey conditions...can't beat an English Summer!
Here are the results:

ISSA Record attempts Hove, UK 7th September 2008

Results.
50 cone
1.10.53 sec Martin Drayton (Master)
2.10.97 sec Louis “Slipa” Selby (Men)
3.11.13 sec Paul Price (Men)
4.12.36 sec Paul “Crowbar” Nolan (Men)
5.13.00 sec Jack Corpes (Junior)-to be confirmed.
6.13.59 sec Mmedo Duffort (Men)

I couldn't improve on my 10.16 sec in the sunshine of 2 weeks ago and Paul Price fell early on dislocating his shoulder, but Louis and Jack showed us a glimpse of the future of British skating!

Cyber Slalom
1.8.035 sec Louis “Slipa” Selby (Men)
2.8.908 sec Mike “Old School”Allison (Men)
3.9.09 sec Mmedo “1848” Duffort (Men)
4.9.437 sec Jack Corpes (Junior)
5.10.20 sec Tony Lord (Men)
6.10.26 sec Paul “Crowbar” Nolan (Men)
7.12.01 sec Steve “Munchh” Rhodes (Men)
8.12.08 sec Mark “Weatherwitch” Roberts (Master)
9.12.56 sec Ryan (?) (Junior)
10.13.92 sec Mikey Corpes (Junior)

Bear in mind that Louis only got ONE run, (beating Michael Dong's old record) as he had to leave with the injured Paul, so who knows what he is capable of! Well done Michael coming out of retirement to take back your crown!
As for the rest of the guys, this was the FIRST time most of them had ever seen a Cyber course, Old School Mike having only started this Summer AND his time was gained riding a G&S Warptail, Trackers and old Abec 11 Stingers!!!!

A great effort by all involved, thanks to Michael for timing gear and to Munchh for getting it and keeping it running. A special mention to Hazel Corpes who valiantly coneheaded and took down times while frozen to the core-awesome!

We filmed the parts that we thought was necessary to document to get this valid. Hopefully it will do the job, I didn't edit the video at all, so it is tape measurements, counting of cones, alignment of start and stop switches all mixed up with a few runs. The one where I follow Hans Göthberg is actually his fastest clean run of the day (10.20).

We had some minor headwind - but it was so little that we didn't bother to switch directions. Next time we will hopefully be in a better mood and nail one of those 9.50 runs.

Pat - Please let us know if the film is good enough documentation so that we know what to do when documenting the 100.

Michael - Great record! Now its really unbeatable

Is this the new masters record as well?

George - I guess the 19.22 from september 2006 was not official enough. We'll fix that soon

I think we have ALL the 50 cone runs on film, some of the Cybers and stills of the venue, timing set-up, measuring of cones etc.
At some point I guess the Worldwide results will be collated and we can crown the new Champions, we are all waiting with baited breath to see if we have a junior World Champ!

Good documentation. I like the course with every 10 cones a different color.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Thank you!

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:43 pm

Stockholm have been rain, rain, rain and then some rain. This saturday morning however we had a small break in the rain and the sthlm crew rushed out to try the 100. We did it at a new hill outside of stockholm and we did it at 170cm even spacing throughout the course.

We did have a small tailwind that we didn't really need, so we popped out the spacers used 66mm wheels and lost the speedrings to survive. The course could be a little more open and I believe we could do it with more confidence. Or we could also try and practice more often.

Anyways, two world records was set;
In the regular 100 open class Marcus Seyffarth got 18.82 + 4 cones = 19.22 (ironic this is the exact same time that the unofficial record I set two years ago.) In the Masters regular 100 class Fabian Björnstjerna got 19.49 + 9 cones = 20.39.

We ran 6 runs each and these are the full results:
Johan Thiel: 23.61+15 / 22.07+14 / 21.30+12 / 20.41+12 / DQ / 19.96+10
Marcus Seyffarth: 18.69+6 / 18.50+8 / DQ / 18.60+9 / DQ / 18.82+4
Fabian Björnstjerna: DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / 19.49+9 / DQ
Hans Göthberg: DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ / DQ
Peter Klang: DNS
Antonio Saluena: DNS

The same beautiful unedited documentation as for the 50 could be found here.
http://www.ettsexett.com/gallery/mov/20 ... 0Cones.wmv

The run with me is my 18.60+9.

Yes, yes, yes - it's all back in order.
Marcus, world champion and now also world record holder!
Very cool!

Fabbe, congratulations too! That's a kind of hard to beat record in the master class.

Just checking in from Boston. Richy and I are in a hotel right by the legendary Fenway Park! What a great town! Next stop -- Antrim NH for the big race. Been on the road non-stop since the WR setting event but below is a copy of a previous post we did right after the weekend. Typical for So Cal in Sept. -- it was HOT -- probably near 100 F -- making an even greater challenge to race such long courses.

ISSA World Record Weekend Results from So Cal On 9/8/2008 Maria Carrasco wrote in from United States (207.200.nnn.nnn)

So Cal -- ISSA World Record Attempt Weekend
Sept. 6-7, 2008

Results:
Lynn Kramer -- Womans Division
50 cone: 13.04
100 cone: 22.43
Not only was this Lynn's fastest time, but it was also a clean run!!

Way to go Lynn -- AXE Army Salutes You!

(Photo courtesty: Silverfishlongboarding.com)

Richy Carrasco hit 20.77 on the 100-cone course - his fastest adjusted time for consideration for the 45 and over Masters division. His best clean run time on this course was 22.01.

Brother Rene' gave it a good go and vows to be back next time.

Big Thanks to Malakai Kingston from Silverfish who braved the heat to shoot pics and helped with the course and timing at the finish line! Heiko and Anna from Germany showed up to sign autographs on their way to the beach. Chris Yandall, Chris Leach and Erik Von were there to root Lynn on to victory. I was on hand of course to document the 100-cone course on video and Erik Von shot the 50-cone.

Congrats to all the new World Record holders! See some of you in Antrim.

Cheers.

Johan Thiel · Post by **Johan Thiel** » Sun Sep 21, 2008 7:51 pm

And thank you Pat for taking the initiative to this event. Never ever before where there that many skaters trying to set records all over the world. Cool. We had a lot of fun and doing the 100 cone was just incredible, the last 20 cones fees like a colored line rather than separate cones . Well any way I curious to see whether my team mate made it or not. Will there be any official world record announcements or list that will be publishes?
Congrats to all for efforts made to beat the records.

As soon as I get the Antrim official results and the results from Hyde Park (rain-delayed 2 weeks) then I will compile the results, write an article for the front web page, and send the framed certificates to the record-setters, and send the results to Guiness.

Pat, I think its great that you got this idea and made it happen. Really!

However I think its getting a little bit weird when its turning from a world record weekend to a world record month. I understand if people would like to give it a go and there are no possibilities to do it earlier because of the weather, everybody should get a chance.

But when you start to include races like Antrim which was planned long time ago to happen two weeks after the real record weekend then its not ok. Also I think its not ok that any racer can participate in more than one try.

Don't get me wrong here, I think that any records set in Antrim (or any other race) should be recognized as records, its just that they should not be included in the "world record weekend" results, but rather be improvements of the records set during the "weekend".

Lynn Kramer · Post by **Lynn Kramer** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:05 am

Antrim was a Main race.
"6.1. WORLD RECORDS – AT SANCTIONED EVENTS
World record attempts may be made at any contest with PRIME or greater sanctioning, or
at contests of BASIC sanctioning if the sanction application specifically states that world
records will be attempted."
You shoulda been there. They had a parade and fireworks.

Sure I would have loved to be there! I tried to be clear above but I'll write it again.

What I was trying to say is that Antrim was a main race and is not part of the "world record weekend" which is another race (a prime) so why would you wait for the results from Antrim to be included into the "world record weekend" race? Its not like you wait for the world championships results before you announce the results from the nationals, or is this a new rule of the ISSA?

Lynn - did you break your record from the "world record weekend race" during the Antrim race? If so, great I think you should expect 2 world record certificates!

Jadranko Radovanovic · Post by **Jadranko Radovanovic** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 2:43 pm

Pat,

I still think that the whole thing with the records is not thinked to the end.

Why is there a differenz between the 50 Cone Record (must be on flat) and the 100 Cone Record can be set the way you like ?

Why is it possible to hit Cones in the 100 Cone Record and just clean run's in the 50 Cone Record ?

Why do we make it not easy for spectators, racers and organisators ?

Why can't we just say he or she is the fastest men/woman arround 50/100 Cones ?

There are many elements in slalom which not works connected to each other. If we have this kind of World Records just in our Forums i see no problems. But going to the public with so many rules and records and without a strong body (ISSA) behind it, is in my view just false.

Before we go to the public, we have the chance to change many things for the sport. The priority should be to get the organisation ISSA running in a good way and to have goals what we want to reach in the next 5 year's. First thinking and than doing, not first doing and than thinking.

The motivation by a lot of organizers and lot of racers is not so big anymore. The time is now to get the corner, otherwise slalom is going there from where it came.

Marcus don't forget that the Antrim 100 world record event was announced months before the World record weekend.

The guy that rewrote the world records at Antrim was also the 1st guy that mentioned holding a world record weekend event but that did come later.

Guess you'll want to come to Antrim next year, EH!

J-rad, why so many types of questions? Can't you just have one question?

Most people don't read the rules. They only find out about them when something happens and a rule is brought up.

Jadranko Radovanovic · Post by **Jadranko Radovanovic** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 3:27 pm

Here one question instead of many:

Does the ISSA plans to have goals and a strategy how to go forward ?

Well then its even more clear that it is 2 standalone event and that the results should not be put together. That's the only thing I'm trying to say.

I would like to go to every race, all the time. If I could just clone myself, then things would be much easier.

But first - 8 months of winter.

That's the difficultness by setting up the rules. The rules should be made in a way we used it before we had it.

That's way most rules like the publication of the tie breaker event or the differenz between 100 Cones WR and 50 Cones WR makes no sense !

Lynn Kramer · Post by **Lynn Kramer** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 6:58 pm

Marcus, I agree with you that the World Record Weekend and the Antrim race are two different events.
Whether Richy broke the World Record on World Record Weekend or he broke it in Antrim, he still broke it, and it should still be submitted to Guinness as a record that was broken during an event.
Marcus, don't worry about the World Record Weekend. You are the winner. Good Job.

J-Rad if you don't want rules then go do something else. I attended two fo your events. Flew all the way there for a flat race that never evn happened, even after it stopped raining.

The other fell a little short of what was promised (even if we the website was unreadable in english at the time) the 3rd course was never reset with the addition of cones).

I know that was not your duty but as the organizer you should have seen to it that it was done. Clean up your own stuff a bit will you.

We like to know what to expect and that is the primary reason several other people & I did what we did.

Showing up at a contest run by a non skater and having that person dictate a lowsy event just sucks plain and simple.

Different rules for different things also aplies and has it's usefulness.

Marcus sorry I didn't read the whole thing. Another race another pain somewhere. what can I say> Am I getting old or something?

The number of competitors during our 10 races in the last 8 years show how true it is what you wrote claude.

The rules of the Over80Cones is, that every Round racers get out. 3 Round the best 16. You was 19 in the 2 Round. You can see it in the Results from 2007 and the same can be seen in the Results from 2006. That's how this competition is run. And it was announced in this way.

There will be arround 60 participants this year and they like to skate there with this rules, otherwise they wouldn't come.

I congratulate all of the racers and hope everyone had a great time.

Once these are ratified by the ISSA board of directors as official, I will submit to Guiness Book of World Records.

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:59 pm

Congratulations Ramón! I really thougth it would be faster than that.

Since this is the "World weekend race" thread and "Over80cones" is another race I don't think this post below here. I created 3 threads, one separate for each category under the "2008 World records" topic. Perhaps we could start using them for submission of new records like this. Is it possible to move threads or posts?

Ramón Königshausen · Post by **Ramón Königshausen** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 2:13 pm

Thanks Marcus! Well...I ran 9.71 but with one cone down...Janis ran 9.50 with 4 cones down....

I have updated the World Record spreadsheets to account for the new record from "80-cones" and to account for my blunders in tabulating all of the results as they poured in from around the world.

Perhaps we should clarify that the 80 cones was not run on the flat before updating the PDF.

Personally I don't understand why the times was posted in the first place since both J-rad and Ramón knows that the 50 cones rules states that it should be run on flat and otherways run both ways.

Perhaps the rules of the 25 and 50 cone records should be changed so that it is mandatory to run it both ways.

JRAD and RAMON: Was the course flat? (i.e. Racers would be willing to run in either direction)

Jadranko Radovanovic · Post by **Jadranko Radovanovic** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:43 pm

There is another rule which says the you have to meassure the wind. Does someone did this ?

As i wrote it before those rules were made, what the goal is of this rules. no one wanted to answer it. The World Record was for the Over80Cones the biggest attraction what the numbers of spectators showed. A World Record is somthing you can get alot of spectators and it is a thing which people let remember to the competition when they hear next time that there is a slalom skateboard competition. My goal for this competition was fullfilled and i would announce it in the same way the next year, even if i have to write the rules for others if they want to try it.

For me the 50 Cones WR shows the fastest men arround 50 Cones at the distanz of 1.60. We meassure it from the first to the last Cone. As there is no distanz where you have to start, i don't see a reason why there is a districiton on flat or a bit slope. I think the rules should be done in the way we can use it. And for our 21 juniors it was somthing they can dream about it now, until they are in the age they can do it as well.

Why not just let the distanz between the Cones 1.60 to regulate the steepnes instead of running it in both way's. The thing is that he run the 50 Cones in 9.89 seconds. Should we ask the 100 meter sprinter Bolt to run the 100 meters in both ways ? A record is a record, when it is not the ISSA record i will promot it as the Record of 50 Cones at 1.60 until someone run it faster.

At the same time i would ask what happened in Gothenburg, where some people practiced the courses for a long time and others for some day's and some had just two runs. Or in Latvia or Grenoble where the TIE BREAKER EVENT wasn't announced.

The question is should the WR count or not is for me a similiar question as should the WorldChampionchips results count or not.

I think the rules should be setted in the way we can play it. And the most important thing the rules should not be to complex as they are at the World Record, just see that there are differenzes between 100 und 50 Cones.

To answer the questions:
It was not flat as it wasn't in sweden when i look at the video. If you cancel the record than i think the results from gothenburg should be canceled as well. And the Overall Results from Latvia and the Overall Results from Grenoble. And in the end the results from the 50 Cones World Records because no one documented the wind meassuring.

The question is now: what is easier ?
... to cancel the results or to change some rules ?

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:03 pm

Well if there are rules you have got to adhere to them or change them, you just can't start using your own rules while others stick to the existing. Period.

If you think that Worldchampionships, Latvia or Grenoble was not run in an appropriate manner, then start complaining about it in their respective threads it won't help to argue about them in the "world record event" thread. Personally I only attended the worlds and I was among those who had 2 runs and felt bad about it. For what I know there are no rule at the moment that states when the course should be set or if you can practice, its just that you don't do it.

I can only speak for the 50 cones set in Stockholm, and it was run on flat, it is a slight hill coming in from both directions and its flat in the middle. Next time we will run it both ways and we will be faster. Its a promise.

The 50 cone record will never be broken on the flat using a normal start ramp, you need to kick in or use a large (3m) ramp.

Richy Carrasco · Post by **Richy Carrasco** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:37 pm

Yo , Pat hows about two catagories for 50 coner, Same measurement for acurate calculating, 1 Downhill pitch , 2 Flat....... Maybe just for this event only! .....

Marcus Seyffarth · Post by **Marcus Seyffarth** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 9:59 am

so it would be
1: 50 cones @ 1.60 clean on flat
2: 50 cones @ 1.60 clean with pitch? Or should it be 50 cones "anyway you like it" just like it is with the 100?

Sj Kalliokoski · Post by **Sj Kalliokoski** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 3:18 pm

Qucik note from dark North

One fator to add small inaccuracy is also defined distance between cones. I mean just having 1cm per cone, that would mean ~50cm in total and having only 1cm per cone is quite tough target. So it easily mans like 0.1 sec converted to time. So why specify cone distance? And has someone tape measured how accurate total track length is ?
Another topic then is that is it required have so many different WR's, i mean 25, 1-2*50 and 2*50 cones? For slalomers it might make sense but for big public it can be confusing. This starts look like swimming
