Event Description

It’s on again!

The second annual Collingrove Cup will be held at the Collingrove Hillclimb track, Angaston South Australia on October 29th - 30th 2011.

The Track
Although it’s only 800m long the narrow technical track will be sure to test the skill and patience of many of the countries best downhill racers over 2 days of racing.

Disciplines and Format

All disciplines will be catered for including Downhill skateboard, Classic luge, G-Bike and Streetluge. The format will be:

$100 rider rego fee (see below for more details)
100 entries only
2 man elimination rounds over 2 days
Race to qualify
$$$$$$$ CASH PRIZES$$$$$$$
Trophies, prizes and more!

Standup will have Pro division (over 18) and Junior division (under 18yrs) but please note that you can only race in one division not both for standup.

*Groms Take Note*
This year will be different than last year in the fact that we are stepping it up and trying to make the event flow quicker and give more track time to riders, so by doing this ALL disciplines will be using the full track.

IGSA RULES APPLY

Registration will open on July 6th at 7pm (SA time) and close at midnight October 16th 2011. All entry fees must be paid before this date, if not pay on the day is available but will be $150.

With over 200 skaters in Adelaide alone this event is sure to sell out fast so get in quick to secure your spot. This is a legal event on a closed road with ambos, shuttle buses, food, drinks, music and the Cre8ive Sk8 air fence will be in action too!

SA CREW TAKE NOTE! We are planing at least 1 training day at the track between now and October to give some of the younger guys and beginners a go at the track. Stay tuned for an announcement on dates for this!

See you on the hill!!!

Comment by Adrian Alderson on October 31, 2011 at 8:22: what about the other disciplines?

Comment by matty leadfoot on October 31, 2011 at 6:41: Yeah Ian. We had some issues with the format. Great weekend, but when we got to the business end it was a bit sticky. It ended in a less positive way than it should have.

The groms were killing it though. The track is HARD and they raced as cleanly as the pros. The pros were being tested the whole 2 days too. A lot of them are nursing injuries today. Bowditch had to go to hospital to have his shoulder put back in.

I had a great time, and I think everyone else had a good time for most of the weekend, but we ended up running one too many knock out rounds and not enough rounds sorting out the riders that were consistent (the middle).

I just want to let everyone know that I am proud of the way they helped sort out the results at the end, which allowed us to still finish the event in a dignified way. Thanks guys, not the high I wanted at the end, but not a complete shit-fight either.

Have some faith in me dudes, next time, I will run shit. This time it should have been Nick, but he could not make it, so volunteers did their best. I wanted to call the races, but maybe I should have worked results and placings.

Sorry to anyone who is still upset, and Im especially sorry to Kelly Grom. Hes a top racer, and was stoked as to have won the final race which was not counted.

Kelly, you will be number one very soon bro. We all know it.
