Event Description

Streetluge & buttboard racing

4 man races for points
Most points go into finals

Classes include: Open streetluge
Open buttboard
Junior (16 or under)

Riders race at their own risk.
Minimum requirements:
Helmet, elbow & knee pads, Gloves, suitable braking shoes

8am registration and practice begins
10am racing begins
12.30 to 1.00 lunch break

Great opportunity for first timers to race and meet other riders. Longboards can be used in all classes as a classic luge.
If anybody needs to borrow gear please post here so that something can be arranged. There will be limited spare boards available.

Rego is FREE however there will be a collection to raise money for a fellow rider who is going through a tough time so bring along some cash so that you can contribute.

Just like last year we are hoping to have LAUNCH ramps on the racecourse and bonus points will be given to riders that make use of them. So bring a board that you are willing to get airborne.

This race will be held even if it is raining!
