Beat the Bastard 2010

Beat the Bastard is an organised freeride at Mt Stuart, Townsville. The Mt Stuart road will be closed off to all car traffic, and you'll get virtually unlimited runs on it for two days straight, with a lift to the top each time. All proceeds go towards cancer research.

What's a freeride?

It's anything you want it to be, except that it is NOT RACING. Ride down the hill, express yourself, go fast if you want, but do not make a race of it with anybody. Anyone found racing will be removed from the hill and not allowed to run again.

What's the hill like?

It's long and fast and full of corners. The max speed is around 80km/h, and you'll be close to that speed for much of the run. There is no uphill runout, and you'll need to be able to footbreak to a stop from high speed.

When is it?

The weekend of May 15-16, 2010.

Tech Inspection

The Tech Inspection will be at Ado's shop, Cre8ive Sk8, in Aitkenvale, on Friday May 14th, beginning at 10:00am till 6:00pm. There will be a rider's meeting immediately following tech inspection: 6:00pm til 7.00pm.

Some of you may not get into Townsville until Friday night, so a secondary Tech Inspection will take place on the hill, Mt Stuart, from 6:00am till 7:00am. Any riders who didn't pass the Friday Tech and had equipment/safety gear to bring up to speed can see me then, which gives you overnight to get things organised.

Riders who either do not attend Tech Inspection or do not pass Tech Inspection and receive the relevant Tech Inspection Pass will not be allowed to ride.

Any question regarding Tech, or Rulebook, please contact Sakamoto through here, or by email: sakamotoluger@gmail.com

Conehead Cup Super-G

The Super Giant Slalom race will be held again in conjunction with the event and it will be a leg of the Conehead Cup. There will be a $30 entry fee, and all racers must also be financial ASRA members. These costs are not included in the BtB registration fee.

Note for slalomers: Be aware that that this is slalom at downhill speeds; up to 60km/h. Leathers and a full-face helmet will be required. Bring your downhill board and leave your slalom board at home. Also be aware that you will need to be able to footbreak at high speed to come to a stop as there is no uphill runout.
