Thanks again to Michael Dong for suggesting an enhancement to the Cyber Slalom Challenge page. Now when you click the Updates number for a racer who has posted multiple scores, you will see everything he entered displayed in the main window, including the all-important Comment field.

Wind and surface

I am very interested in what surface is mostly skated, and if there is a wind factor involved. We (the Swedes) skate a dirty garage during winter and do not have any wind advantage or disadvantages. However, I do feel the surface we skate are rather slow compare to clean super smooth concrete.
Please let us know, cuz I can’t see myself or even Marcus (Macster) do low 8 sec in the garage.
I would really like to hear what Dong and Vlad has to say.

Push Start?

Steve,
That`s exactly what I meant. If you look at the rules on a cyber slalom challenge here on ncdsa, it states..."1. One foot on board, push foot on ground within 3-foot Starting Box." This is ambiquous as it isn`t clear on whether you can push to the first cone. I always assumed that it was a push start from (within 3-foot Starting Box). It also does not say that you can`t push between the cones either. Again, something I assumed was noy allowed.
Here`s the full rules...
Take the Cyber Slalom ChallengeTM!
The course:
1. Flat area.
2. Start line with 3-foot Starting Box drawn so the box shares its front side
with the Start Line and evenly straddles the Cone Line.
3. 15-feet past Start Line is first of 25 cones spaced 6-feet on center.
4. 15-feet after last cone is Finish Line (174 feet total start-to-finish).
How to run it:
1. One foot on board, push foot on ground within 3-foot Starting Box.
2. Board must cross Start line between the front corners of the Starting Box.
3. Time starts when board crosses the Start Line.
4. Time stops when board reaches Finish line.
5. Any cone displaced DQ's.
If your course is not flat, please run it in both directions and post the average of your best time in each direction. Post as many entries as you like, only your fastest time will display.
Your 4-digit access code is unique to you, meaning that you can update your time whenever you wish. Only your best time will display in the standings.

G3 and pushes

Brady, it's not pushing WITHIN the box...but more of whether or not you "count" the foot-in-the-box as your first push! Up until now, I have NOT been counting my initial push-off within the box as number-1 push, and I've been able to get 3 pushes in after that, with the third push almost knocking down the first cone with my push foot as I make the turn around #2 cone.
Recently, I've been using more of a slingshot-launch (with one foot completely in the start box), and taking 2 more pushes. That gives me more stability into cone #2, but a tad less speed. I'm going back to the 3-push (or 4, if you count the one in the box) method, and gonna try to get to CO.

Weren`t they pushing to the first cone at G3? That could account for 4 pushes in the start. I also don`t see it possible if it`s pushing within the 3` box.

Michael or Vlad (or anyone else), do you have videos from when you run the cyberslalom? It would be interesting to see how the hell Vlad gets 4 pushes in, and other things that make low 8 secs possible...

We are about 12 old fasts around 30-42 who rides every Tuesday. The surface is pretty dusty in the garage, but it´s warm. Outside it´s bellow freeeeeezing.
In the spring through summer we ride every wednesday, so on may 29th 2004(Paris) and on the 17th of September 2004 (San diego) there will be a pretty strong crew from EttSexEtt/Sweden
I hope to see all great legends and new stars like Bob Skolberg who I competet agains in 1979 to Michael Dong, who I never seen, on the start ramp. George Orton can skip a Downhill weekend and go slalom, why not. If you do, I go Downhill, vert s#@! I even go freestyle with you.
Till then, keep skating or get old and bitter.

If you go to the cyberslalom challenge page and sort on the date submitted, you will see that the Swedes are doing a lot of cyberslalom practice .....
Maybe the rest of us need to practice too?

From the webmaster..
I've just updated the Cyber Slalom Challenge page to show each rider's country next to his name. I've taken the liberty of filling in the countries I knew or could easily research from recent emails, but if you want to add (or correct) your country simply re-enter your latest time, this time including your country, and it will be added to your listing.

also I did alot of 'fake' slalom before I started timing (in and out of leaves, stones, ect.) so when I found out about cyber slalom I practised a bit before I started timing.

I made the deck (me + a friend are setting up a board company), the trucks were originally united skates (but I altered the kingpin angle) the wheels were some shortboard ones that I made a bit softer with my special technique (boiling them dry!) I just use the road outside my house because its smooth and I'm used to the surface. I live in the uk

Strange,
What board setup did you use to achieve that great time? Trucks? Wheels? Surface?
Those are great times you are posting. It took me a while to get times that fast.
Do you live in the USA?

Dear strange, Most people screw up by trying to enter the word "sec" in with their time. The system is expecting only numbers, no letters. I.e. "8.57" will work, "8.57 sec" will not. I see no sign of your recent attempts which tells me they're not even getting by the form edits. Also, the system only displays your lowest time, so if you enter a time higher than your currently displayed time it will be accepted but not displayed.
Nice time, btw.. it puts you in 3rd slot!
