The Trap

Run The Trap!
Rules updated Sept 9, 2004

The course:

1. Flat area with timed speed trap measuring either 44, 88, or 176 feet. 
   
2. Acceleration area before speed trap, length unlimited.
   
3. Braking area after speed trap (recommended).
   
   

How to run it:

1. Start from a dead stop at any distance from The Trap.
   
2. One Rider is allowed to acellerate themselves on one single 4-wheeled skateboard by ANY natural means (Pushing or Pumping) with no mechanical or external assistance.
   
3. An official "Try" is made when the front wheels of the skateboard cross the START line of The Trap and timing begins. Timing ends when those same front wheels cross the FINISH line, and timing stops.
   
4. Rider may propel themselves THROUGH The Trap by any natural means (Pushing, Pumping or Tucking/Coasting).
   
5. Score is recorded as the TIME (In Seconds, out to at least two decimal places) through The Trap.
   
6. If you're running The Trap at home, here are the Seconds to MPH conversion formulas:
   -For the 176' course: MPH = 120/secs.
   -For the 88' course: MPH = 60/secs.
   -For the 44' course: MPH = 30/secs.
   

Your 4-digit access code is unique to you, meaning that you can update your time whenever you wish. Only your best time will display in the standings.
