In making a 5.5' or even 5' course, I'd keep the length of the course at 174 feet, and all the starting box and push start measurements the same -- just add three more cones with each half-foot decrement in cone-centers. Keeping course length constant would indicate how increasing complexity affects raw times, since the 174' distance has a lot of historical data already associated with it. Plus there's the difficulty in finding a perfectly flat area + run-out past 174' that's been noted.
So here's possible 5' and 5.5' course 'standard' settings. The length between the last cone and finish line is shorter, based on the assumption that you keep wiggling through that area on the standard course already. Thoughts?

made a regulation course in a garage here in toronto. Ran it for the first time tonight and took times but they were innacurate and didn't have a 15foot gap to the finish. Have alot of respect for the people getting good at this and posting the faster times, its very challenging! Lots of fun too!

Hey all,
I'm extremely new to the whole slalom scene. I started commuting to college on a longboard and I want to set it up for slalom. From reading your posts cyber slalom seems like a good place for me to start since its on flat land. What is the difference between all the different types of slalom ie giant, tight, ditch/bank, etc and how are the courses set up? Also, what kind of board set ups are there? What would be a good set up for cyber slalom? Are there any internet sites or books that I could check out that would give me good info?
Is there any good places to skate in San Jose, CA. I'm going to skate one of the garages in downtown here pretty soon, hopefully I won't get caught.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
~Newbie in San Jose

I'm curious. Is it cones spaced 6' from each other or when you say 6' on center do you mean the literal 6' on center? 6' on center to me means that the actual middle of the cone should lay at the 6' mark and which would also mean there's actually less spacing between the cones due to the flairing of the base.
Or are you saying the cones should be 6' between the base of the cone but just in a straight line (ie on a center line)?
I've been running mine with an actual 6' on center measurement (of course in a straight line as well).
Just curious.

Near as I can tell, the Cyber Slalom idea is for a standardized course, intended for flatland racing, that you, me and the postman can setup, practice on and develop times for that have some meaning, so long as we build the course to spec and report accurate times. Then, those that have the time and inclination get together to run the same course, against one another, but it's still set up to "spec".
Here's what you'd find if you clicked on "Cyber Slalom Challenge" at NCDSA...ie lower on the page:
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.

The current 25-cone 6ft Cyber Slalom course requires 176ft of flat space not counting run-out. This much available flat space has proven to be a rare occurrence. 6ft spacing is also sufficiently difficult that the majority of participants cannot navigate the course without DQ'ing.
A 50-cone 5ft course would require even more flat space and would be significantly harder for the average slalomer to make.
I'm not trying to discourage any form of flatland slalom.. just a friendly FYI based on our experience running the event!

I agree with Richy, 5ft apart, 50 cones sounds better. Same rules, (3ft starting box, 15 ft start/finish) Someone post a time. I will get a time of my own soon

Well Rich always seemed to me too much like hard work to pump 6ft on the flat so I welcome your suggestion. Post some rules dimensions etc. and I,ll see if I can post a time - there will be others over here who would be interested.My apologies Marc F seems like it was your suggetion and Richy was seconding it.
Martin Sweeney recorded a time,verified by the BBC,for 100 cones 4ft back in the mid 80,s of about 22 secs.That and his 100 cones 6ft makes for some amazing footage which Ed Brockman managed to dig out,you can only watch and cheer/weep.

Anyone ever try a 50 cone flat course 6 feet apart, set up like Cyber Slalom? Does anyone have a time for a 50 cone flat course?

Bob,
You'll find the Cyber Slalom rules and course spec on the Cyber Salom Challenge page.
The online Challenge event is to spur interest in the discipline between Cup events, or for riders who are unable to attend Cup events. Google up the CRASH-B comps for a much larger group of racers (rowers) who this virtual/real model very successfully.
Bob, you may also be interested in The Trap, a new flatland speed course and forum we recently launched on Ncdsa.com. AZ Steve is the man behind The Trap.

Santa Barbara Race Format

I'm not getting it ...yet.
Cyber slalom is done by individuals setting up their own home course according to Hoyle and posting the results here...Right?
So, what was the Cyber slalom event at the WC where people actually raced each other in the same place...what is the connection?
I have the opportunity to do a slalom race of SOME kind at the Santa Barbara Surf Festival this year, to be held on December 4th. The SB Surf Festival in in its 4th year and is very popular and growing. It is a benifit for some selected local causes and gets lots of media coverage.
I have been knocking around here on ncdsa for 7 months trying to drum up some interest in this event. There has been some issues with the promoters about which hill to use if any. I had originaly wanted to have a GS and luge event. However with little or no support from the slalom community and issues with the hill on the down side, and the re-apperaence of Jim Korten and the success of the Cyber event at the WC on the up side, I'm thinking of going with a flatground pump short course exactly like the one at the WC. Maybe I can get the starting gates used at the WC???
I need to know asap how to set up a cyber course like the WC, dimentions, number of cones, rules etc. And could this event be part of a series? I'm thinking of calling it the Korten Klassic Cyber Slalom Challenge (and also billing this as the state championship in conjunction with the other skate activities).
What I need is INPUT and PASSION!...and people to set up and run this event.
For those of you that don't know, Santa Barbara is a very beautiful Southern California town. This slalom event would be in a parking lot at the beach. The Surf Festival is very cool and featurs a softboard surf contest, a paddel race and, don't ask me how this fits in...a ping-pong championship! Other skate happenings proprsed are High jump, flatland freestyle, game of skate, mini-ramp and half pipe contests.
Sure to be a family adventure winner. THAT WE CAN DO EVERY YEAR IF WE JUMP ON IT NOW!
There is a $30. entry fee that would allow you to enter ALL events and compete for the "Kahuna" an overall surf/skate points award. So for you surfer/skaters here is you big chance to prove yourself (for a good cause).

hi,
There is a new cyberchallenge that has started now on Riderz forum, it is meant to determine the maximum speed possible for such rider, such spot, such slope, such equipement and such conespacing.
No self-generated speed here, one is free to use the slope and all conditions that he thinks will suit him better, just go as fast as you can, and then pass 20 cones in line, 1/10th penalty, 4 cones down max. (time considered goes from first cone to last cone)
Just do not kill yourself
all rules and posting http://riderz.net/viewtopic.php?p=190557#190557
US language and units are absolutely welcome
