ORIGINAL POST: So Cal -- ISSA World Record Attempt Weekend
Sept. 6-7, 2008
As sanctioned by the ISSA (International Slalom Skateboard Association) we participated in the simultaneous world record setting attempts taking place all over the world. Our attempts happened over two days in San Diego CA. We are pretty happy with the results especially for our women's division dominator Lynn Kramer. Results have not been officially concluded yet but we expect Lynn will have claimed both the 50 and 100 cone world records!
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!

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.
