Event Description
After riding this hill for a while, i think its about time we have a freeride here to see if it could be used as a future 'grom' event hill.
The hill tops off at 55km/h and is easy to skate.
THIS IS NOT A RACE, just people meeting up to skate a fun little hill.
The gates at the top open to cars at 9am so its best we finish up around then.
Weather forecast is 'few showers' but it also says 30 degrees...
If its wet, refer to here for cancellation/post-pone.
P.S Im shaving my head for Leukemia so feel free to donate!

That was alot of fun on a soggy morning, thanks Ryan.
My girls had a great time, stoked that the wet didn't stop them
from having a go. They needed some footbraking practice !!!!
Great little spot & the rangers were pretty cool about it too.
I'll put a few photos up that Lisa took.

Thanks to all that attended.
Was good fun in the wet, need to get another one happening, but give it more notice so we can get a larger group.

this is a nice mellow run with a bit of speed to it if you tuck. great intro to downhill spot that is fun in its own right.
one request to riders - please stay on your side of the road when going around the right-hand corner. have heard there has been at least one collision between a skater and bike rider here, which is never good news... and watch out for bikes in general...

james it goes flat so you dont need to worry about stopping, there is one hairpin but you dont need to brake or anything before it, it is a pretty easy run over all
Might attend (11)
