Asia Ultraskate 2024 Singapore Edition Race Results - a Discussion 

Hi Krishnan, thanks for this review. Just a few pointers, UK ultraskate is a full 24hr ultraskate. You also sent me a number of questions, so here are my answers 1. Timing system used is Check Point Software Technologies 2. Each skater has their own strategy when it comes to food choices. Some use gels and others use tailwinds. But we provide bananas and a small snack to each participants throughout the race. The table is setup in a pitstop area. 3. Most of the competitors were using bracket boards. we had someone skating a pantheon supersonic. 4. Weather was fantastic throughout the race. Cloudy with some sunshine. There was some rain in the last 1.5hrs before the end. The sun did come out in the last hour. The killer is the humidity. Thanks for the passion ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this! Great analysis. Let me add on some info as a participant: The humidity was one of the bigger fights for us during this race. Edit: it was 93% humidity in the earlier parts of the race. Personally I required almost 1.5L of water per hour and I could barely get those liquids absorbed. there was a 30min shower on hour 3. It stayed cloudy till hour 5 and sun was right on us for the last hour. headwind picked up on the back straight on the last 2 hours. I'm guessing 15-20kph winds. First 2 hours the winds weren't bad. the first 5 hours weather condition is considered forgiving in Singapore. hour 6 was hot and probably feels like 38º and is considered normal for a typical afternoon. There were hotter days. but nevertheless, its not a good experience to skate on hour 6. The men's winner, (nickname GouGou) was sipping on gels every 20-30mins on top of liquids. It's quite a sight to behold when you see him pumping at 33-35kph. his rear truck was set to -35º and front trucks have a crazy 15mm rake and sitting on a chopped platform. He was rolling on Orange Dad Bods. He could push and pump switch. He jumps 180º at speed to change his stance from regular to goofy.
