lowrider Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Are there design standards, certified standards or (plans) available for a starting platform ? I've seen everything from vertical uprights to launch from to very nice fold away handles. What is the standard or is there one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 There are no standards but there is crude vs. precise. Crude could be an L shaped piece of square/ round bar flippe upside down and pounded into the snow. Precise, take a look at FIS start gates.

Rob Smith Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 FIS are very specific. The specs are listed in the rules. The Association of Ontario Snowboarders (AOS) have both, a travel PGS set and a travel SBX set. The PGS set are still FIS std. The SBX are out of date - not enough width between riders.

lowrider Posted November 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks for the info. Is the SBX that you refer to the one that pulls your gloves off after they stick to the frozen metal ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
110/220V Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 pipe handles and elastic are damn pisspoor for starting-gate. And they wonder why the participation is so low for the racing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
