ISGA rules
Previous / Next
Posted by brett on 02.10.2009 at 3:43 PM

As the only professional body currently hosting Gravity Bike races globally, The International Gravity Sports Association (IGSA) have established a set of rules and regulations for riders to follow when considering entry into a IGSA event. While the rule book is still heavily skewed towards the skateboard disciplines, it is the only one we have. Users of this site are encouraged to debate, propose and discuss the addition or omission of rules pertaining to gravity bike racing and lobby the IGSA where appropriate and possible. Discussion of the rules should always be done respectfully and in such a way to foster the spirit of close and fair racing, future development of the sport and with respect to the work undertaken by the IGSA to date. Remember, the ISGA have been keeping the racing scene alive until now. 

History of the IGSA
The IGSA was founded in 1996 when a group of street luge and downhill skateboard enthusiasts recognized the need for fair, unbiased leadership for the sport. Since its inception, the goals of the association have been to foster strong and fair competition, to provide reasonable rules, to administer the competition program with impartiality, and to reduce the hazards associated with the sport. The first IGSA event was held in May 1997 in San Bernardino, California. A few months earlier, IGSA Founder Marcus Rietema had been awarded the “Street Luge Sport Organizer” contract for the 1997 ESPN X Games to be held in Oceanside, California. The San Bernardino Grand Prix served as the open qualifying event for the 97’ X Games. In the early years, the IGSA events featured Street Luge only. In 2000, the IGSA added classes for Downhill Skateboarding, Classic Luge, Inline Skating, and Gravity Bike.

All IGSA sanctioned events are designated Regional, National, Continental or World Cup. World Cup races award the most points and Regional’s the least. From the time period of January 1st – December 31st each competitors four (4) best results are tabulated to achieve their World Cup points total. If a competitor races in more than four races their lowest point scoring races are dropped. On December 31st, the competitor with the most points is declared the World Cup Series Champion.

IGSA World Championships
Each year the IGSA designates one (1) event as the IGSA World Championships. The competitor who wins their respective class at this race is awarded the title of IGSA World Champion. Past host cities include Kaurnatal-Austria, Auerburg-Germany, Scheid-Switzerland, Jungholz, Austria and Goldendale, Washington. The 2009 IGSA World Championships were held November 25-29 in Bathurst, Australia.

IGSA World Cup Series Point System
All IGSA sanctioned events are designated Regional, National, Continental or World Cup. World Cup races award the most points and Regional’s the least. From the time period of January 1st – December 31st each competitors four (4) best results are tabulated to achieve their World Cup points total. If a competitor races in more than four races their lowest point scoring races are dropped. On December 31st, the competitor with the most points is declared the World Cup Series Champion.
