THE 24-HOUR ULTRASKATE

podiumMiamiMen

Skateboard as far as possible within a 24-hour period.

The course should not be biased by gravity. This can be achieved in a number of ways:

1. Loop: A relatively flat loop track of short length (3–5 miles) repeated as many times as possible within the 24 hours. Too short a loop increases the chance for miscounting and inaccurate results.

2. Out and back: A predetermined length of course skated from point A to point B, then from point B to point A. This round-trip can be repeated any number of times, as long as the skater starts and finishes at the same point.

3. Out and back + Loop: The same course as above, only this time, the skater knows in advance that after returning to the original starting point, there will still be time remaining, and they want to maximize the amount of miles skated. The best way to ensure the course remains regulation is to complete the last miles on a loop track.

MARATHONS

Skateboard a regulation, 26.2-mile marathon course.

Course times that start and finish in two separate points (A–>B) might offer a gravitational advantage, so any record of such a course would need to be challenged at the same location. Course times that start and finish at the same point (round trip, or repeated loop track) may be challenged from any other location in the world in the “cyber” tradition, as gravity is ruled out.

Note that many of the skateboard marathon World Standings on this page have been adjusted, since courses have been on both the long and short side of regulation 26.2 miles which is the agreed upon standard distance since 1921.  It’s my hope that skateboard marathon course directors and officials will place more emphasis on ensuring their courses meet regulation distance in the future.   These “adjusted” times maintained below are closer to reality, but still leave much to be desired in terms of accuracy.   It will only help the future legitimacy of skateboard racing if the courses come closer to the 26.2 mile standard  (e.g., within .10 mile or less.)

Pavedwave World Standings tracked men’s marathons under 2 hours and women’s marathons under 3 hours.

THE CYBER MILE

1. Skateboard one mile, ensuring the course is completely flat, in one of two ways:

a) Skate the same one mile distance TWO times, once in EACH direction; the average will be calculated. The two runs should be skated on the same day, but rest time in between is otherwise unlimited.

b) Alternatively, if a FLAT oval / circular running track is available, such that the start and finish line are the same, it can be skated in one direction, for one mile rather than two.

2. Start from a dead stop. From start line to finish, either pump the entire length, push, or combine pushing and pumping. The start area must be completely flat, with no pre-start gravity bias (ramps, etc)

3. Timer starts when board crosses the Start Line.

4. Timer stops when board reaches Finish line.

Please e-mail your best RAW times in each direction to (pavedwave AT gmail DOT com), with name, location, time1 & time2, gear used, and any comments — and within a day or two it will be posted below!

Example:
Name: Speedy Gonzales
Location: Salt Flats, UT
East: 6:15
West: 5:47
Comments: All push, Sector9 Tri-lam, Flashbacks, slight wind.

** Note, the Cyber Mile records up to 2010 were based on a “flying” or running start, in which skaters would build up to full speed over the Start line, before the timer started. Going forward, we request skaters submit STATIC / DEAD STOP start times only.

Mile course specification discussion is captured here, and comments are welcomed.   http://pavedwave.myfastforum.org/2_miles_7_mins_Mile_1_3_20_ish_New_World_Record__about1793.html

THE STRAIGHT MILE

1. Skateboard one mile, as flat as possible.

2. Start from a dead stop. The start area must be completely flat, with no pre-start gravity bias (ramps, etc)

3. Timer starts when board crosses the Start Line.

4. Timer stops when board reaches Finish line.

Records for straight miles will be tracked and challenged at the same location.   No two straight mile distances from different locations can be accurately measured against each other due to external factors, primarily wind and elevation.    To ensure a completely flat / non-biased course, follow Cyber Mile specs.
