Well, that’s what would need to happen for eSk8 Racing to grow. Otherwise “ It is what it is” outlaw racing, where you run what you bring. Get-R-Done.
If it’s gonna be ran this way then. They should Just keep it how it is with time trials. And instead of calling it novice and pro class. Change it up to board class. Like…
Sport (slowest board class)
GT (medium speed class) &
F1 (fastest speed class)

That’s how it is now. Except they group top times, medium times, and bottom times together and call each a different class. Pro, novice, and sportsman.

How many racers were there at ES8CON this year and many racers worldwide do you think there are ? Maybe 200/300? Still too niche to really make such a fuss just be happy esk8 racing exists

Your numbers are way off. I think there were 140 racers at ESK8Con. Check out the scene in Europe and Australia also.

The idea of swappable batteries for more types of races is awesome! We could do an esk8 enduro with pit stops!

Damn, I’m sure you’re guys laws don’t help the situation.
Europe looks to be pretty small turn outs at their races as well.
And I’ve only seen a few races in Asia, but always looks like they just put downhill skaters on stock Eboards.
I would be really think the total of esk8 “racers” has to be sub 300.

The official rules refer to a complete esk8 build as a “deck”? The deck is what you stand on. It’s a component.
We all know what they mean… but… ya know?

The laws aren’t that bad. As long as you’re not going flatout through areas full of pedestrians the police leave you alone. Diy is just dead here. It’s a struggle to sell and even give away some parts at the moment.
*edit: realized that was numbers at esk8con from international I think
