5ft apart ** 50 cones

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

CS Start Box

Jonathan, the start "box" is indeed 3' square, and Adam has all the correct information.
Your start foot MUST start within this 3' box.
Your start foot must be COMPLETELY in this box.
Your board CAN be rocked in and out of the back of the box or square;
However your TIME starts when your front wheels cross the front of the box (start line).
Your board must pass completely through the 3' wide start (so as to not give an advantage to someone starting from too severe of an angle). There will be cones on either side of the Start and Finish lines to mark that 3' line.
When the CS was run at G3, we saw a number of different methods of doing this, with some folks putting their start foot right up on the start line, and others starting with their foot in one of the rear corners of the box. Mongo pushers definitely started with their push feet at the back of the box.
Good luck in Breck! Wish I could be there.

Perhaps I should have called it the 3ft Starting Square as 'box' is obviously open to some folks' interpretation. Note that only your planted foot needs to stay in this box.. the board can go anywhere during your wind-up. But once you cross the front of the box your time starts.

I have always wondered about the dimensions of the start box. The rules say
"...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" and
"One foot on board, push foot on ground within 3-foot Starting Box"
but they don't say anything about the depth of the box itself. Does "3-foot" mean only 3 feet wide, or does it also mean 3 feet deep? It makes a difference, because if it's only 3 feet deep, you can't kick your board back behind you very far. Michael, how have you interpreted this, i.e. what have you used in your practice? And even more important, what will be enforced at Breckenridge?

I'm a cyber slalom, well just about any kind of slalom, newbie!
Just set up my board for cyber slalom and have a spot scoped out for setting up the course. I'm so stoked to give this a try!
I have a Skullskates "Cutter" set up with Indy 101's, ABEC 7 bearings on Kryptogrip 65mm wheels and red Indy bushings. I know this isn't a top of the line slalom set up but it is the best I can do with what we have available locally and I can hardly wait to get out there and start pumping.
So far we have mostly been running pretty widely spaced (read: 9 feet ) homemade cones on longboards. It will be interesting how this little board feels by comparison.
