Comment by Paulo Bids on May 16, 2011 at 3:54: Great night guys, and thank you for putting on the event. Much appreciate, see you soon

Premium Member Comment by Sebastian Bellew on May 15, 2011 at 23:33: Thanks for organising such a fun event under difficult circumstances.

Is there slalom planned for the following day?

Comment by Rainer on May 14, 2011 at 21:48: Great night boys thanks for the organizing of a great event and see you next Friday.

Here is proof Osama lives and skates !

ASRA Admin Comment by bernie on May 14, 2011 at 1:28: we got rained out of the ditch tonight, so we went to Monash Uni.
The bitumen lower deck was wet also, so we went to the upper deck, which does not allow a very long run. So we had a Z shaped course, with easy cone spacing, and 26 racers. The skill was in getting around the tight corners and pumping to keep up speed. Skateboarders of both slalom and downhill disciplines attended and had a blast. Timing was done by homemade wireless timer.
Prizes were awarded for
1 - Marty
2 - Brady Lane
3 - Wedge
most improved - Seb
best slam - rainer
and
furthest distance travelled - Marek.

It was not fancy or very difficult, but it was F'n Cold, so everyone stayed warm by having to work hard on a slow course that needed lots of pumping.

Big props to the sponsors, Globe and Goliath.
The really good prizes have been held back for the ditch session next week!

Next week the ditch is going to be dry...no I really mean it this time!
