From the June Dally Watkins School of Outlaw Etiquette...

The Pump Station is a special place, and we're only able to skate there because the locals have come to know us as friendly people who leave the place spotless and cause no offence. If one of the locals gets pissed off with us, it could mean the end of skating at Pump Station.

So I'd like to ask everybody to take extra care on the weekend to maintain our good reputation with the locals by looking after the place and generally being Low Impact and Low Profile.

In particular:

* Parking 1 - Please don't park in front of the boom gate. Fire trucks, lawn-mowing vans, and other people with keys to that gate occasionally need to get through.

* Parking 2 - Please don't park in people's driveways or in any way that makes it hard for residents. This may mean that you end up parking a couple of hundred metres away, but so be it.

* Rubbish - Please take it all away with you when you leave.

Thank you on behalf of the "Good Relations with the Locals Department".

The cones aren't going to be miles apart. The top will be pumpy and wiggly and pretty much down the fall-line...and the speed will build up very quickly, and then the cones will get far apart and more offset. And then there will be stingers. And then other stuff! Who knows?

I reckon anything between 20" and 23" wheelbase will work. Probably 21-22 is about right, depending on how tight you like to have your trucks. But that's just my opinion, and I could be wrong.
