Re: slow race rules

No still stands are allowed. You have to be moving forwards the whole
time.

Thanks Borges. I notice they don't say anything about using brakes ...

Having brakes is fine. *Using* brakes will probably not be helpful in
any way I can imagine.

As always the hard part about the slow races is the judging. It is very
subjective, so it's all about the quality of the person judging you. In
most cases, they are doing it for the first or second time. Some judges
are much more forgiving than others, so absolute results, such as world
records, can't be worth too incredibly much.

Not to take away from those amazingly slow people who can take forever
to go 10m without appearing to ever stop! Colin Schworer for example.
