Proposal 78: Restrict the allowed amount of coasting in gliding disciplines to the bare minimum [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: TrackSubmitted on 2019-05-23
Status: Passed on June 07, 2019
Background
In the current rule, an unlimited amount of coasting is allowed in gliding. Since one generally achieves greater distance or speed with coasting than with gliding, this invalidates the distiction between the two. This proposal basically forbids coasting during gliding (but still allowing for very brief and unintentional moments of coasting), so that gliding and coasting are really distinct ways of riding.
Proposal
OLD RULE:
3B.6.3 Gliding Events
Gliding is like coasting, but with one or both feet dragging on top of the tire to provide balance from the braking action. These events are similar to the coasting events above, with riders gliding for time or distance from a given point. The rules are the same as for the coasting events (above) with the addition that the riding surface must be dry. Coasting is allowed.
NEW RULE:
3B.6.3 Gliding Events
In Gliding, the balance has to be kept all the time by the braking action between one or both feet and the top of the tire. If, for example, the foot loses contact with the tire due to small bumps, the contact must be restored immediately.
Gliding events are similar to the coasting events above, with riders gliding for time or distance from a given point. The rules are the same as for the coasting events above, with the addition that the riding surface must be dry.
