"I personally couldn't afford"

I've been too cash converters and eBay and oppshops and haven't found any leathers that come close to $40. The least I've found is $350.
And you've got to think as well, with the rego for the DH event being $70 plus like $50 for travel and food plus a leather suit wich apparently you can pick up for $40 that's $160 for the day. I personally could afford that for one skating event.
Also, you say having leather suits to bring the 1st aid people back is good but the crash last year was a result of not wear a full face. It was a bad stack but he should of been wearing a full face, a leather suit wouldn't of help that.
I just feel that there is a lot of people not going because of the leathers.

Hey Daniel, at this stage its looking like an hour or two so slide jam practice while we set up the DH and slalom courses, then DH practice, then lunch, slide jam and slalom followed by the downhill race. A detailed timetable will be released next week.

Rego will be available soon. In the meantime you can download the waiver, print it, fill it out and be first in line when the time comes:

I'll make the trip down from Stawell. Great to have a slalom. Thanks.

There's still a chance we'll do slalom, we'll add it to the rego and if more than 10 people pay it will happen, if not we'll refund those that have paid unless they want to set up the cones themselves during the slide jam.
