Masters 45+ (602 Posts) Topic Info Gib/Age rankings On 9/14/2009 martin d. wrote in from (216.117.nnn.nnn) But then after qualifying, what happens in a dual event? It works for single lane GS, but not for anything else. If you take final results from the qualifying, the only fair way under this system, it then means that masters won't end up racing masters most of the time...I thought that was the whole point?     Rate post 330169 !

The idea of getting separated out from the main group and put into a group with limited numbers is not so good. It is better to just let the race go on and use the results to determine placings for classes after the racing has completed. This has often gone on in the past, and worked out well.     Rate post 330153 !

I just think an appropriate computer program could easily print out age results from the entire race field. Then you race all ages. It's just the results, age wise added at the end with all race results.Cliff     Rate post 330145 !

The down side is that it is harder to get the competitor field size up in the older age group(s). You can wind up racing yourself. I have certainly seen that in bike racing. Heck, I'd even like some individual (against the clock) downhill races with appropriate age groups.     Rate post 323003 !

They do this for bicycle races. Example: 40-44,45-49, 50-54,55-59 and then for me, 60+ ;) Cliff Coleman     Rate post 322996 !

From 50 to 55 is a long road.     Rate post 322685 !

I missed out at a semi spot in the TS by 0.07sec and a crack at the 3rd place overall...c'est la vie, at least I got to skate. My ankle is pretty damned sore now though, thats what you get for being old and foolish! Masters will be even more competitive in years to come with at least half of the current US Pros eligible! The Worlds will be in Europe next year and there are some very fast old guys there. Great to finally meet you and hang out with the rest of the old farts, hope we get to do the snow thing one day too! MD     Rate post 321562 !

On my next birthday, I'll be 60 and plan to race any style I still can. If i do, I will have raced in 6 consecutive decades. The 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and the 10s. I also want to skate 100 miles in one day. Stay active and don't give up your toys! Cliff Coleman from Kludy Ville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1     Rate post 320536 !

I raced the Timeship Maryhill 05 event as a 51 year old. I'm 55 now and hoping to hit it again this year, although the mountain bike has been kicking my ass HARD the last 2 years. I'm now 6 weeks beyond a badly broken and chopped nose and an eye socket fracture. Feeling ok to skate, but it sorta took the wind out of my sails a bit. Sorry I missed my chance to roll with you when you were up in Salinas. Next time you're, up hit me up! -m On 4/24/2009 Kludy wrote in from United States (68.8.nnn.nnn) I here ya. The silly thing is I can still spank alot of riders as long as there are no turns , Ha ! My new goal is to enter a race when I become 50 in just a few years.     Rate post 320278 !

Crap I don't care how old I am or my peers are. I will skate until I cannot anymore. I made the mistake of stopping for years and I really don't feel good about that; done for all the WRONG reasons.

What's sad about that is, once you've reached "masters" status, it's like there's nowhere left to go. It's the end of the line. I'd be ok with being a master if there was one more class waaaay out there that I hadn't got to yet, like for guys older than 75: The "Oldsters" division. And after that, the "Century" division for guys over 100. I'm pretty sure I won't make it that far, but if I do you can bet I'll be bitchin' about it. :-)     Rate post 317682 !

I have been competing okay and don't use a standard DH rig; my times and speed is respectable I think. Although JBH is not officially Masters age he kick's youngin' but in speed on his DH rigs all day long. I think there is more of a difference in slalom then speed anyway in terms of physical ability between ages. Just my opinion and thoughts on your question Kludy. Of course I'm already in the Masters so opinion may seem biased but trying not to be ;) LAVIN     Rate post 317382 !

Right now there only a few of us that are over 40 and a good group here is cali that are over 30 years old. That would give us egough riders to have a Masters class. I could for years if we could do that because I would trust my class of Masters to be just that racing down any hillThe outlaw seem to be working here and it got started with just a seed. Well I seem to have another one in my pocket. What do all of you think about the age of a Master Downhill Skateboarder ?     Rate post 316581 !

There will be no double-dipping or moving from class to class. Choose your poison and jump in the start gate.     Rate post 316580 !
