Comment by Jack on April 3, 2011 at 20:45: People are free to choose whether or not they want to suit up, unless it's specified as a leathers only race. Ideally they would go up and assess whether or not they want to be racing on the hill without them.

Comment by Jack on April 3, 2011 at 20:27: @at all the groms asking for speeds and shit: for you, it's fast. And you absolutely NEED to be able to shut down slide comfortably as there is no run off for this hill. That being said, you probably don't need leathers but it's rougher than hillclimb in some of the corners and a fall there could result in some gnarly road rash.

This is actually not a hard hill, if you can slide it out you're sweet

Comment by tom Crane on April 3, 2011 at 20:25: dude, get in contact with someone from brisbane who has organized an event before, a bit of experience could help make this thing real

some parts are pretty rough
Id recommend not to take it from the very top, the first left hand switchback you leave it a walking speed.

skate it one sundy mornin, it will defs give a better perspective to what you want to happen

Comment by Kristian Nishimura on April 3, 2011 at 20:20: would a full face helmet be a good idea, how much can u get them for

Comment by Alister Mearns on April 3, 2011 at 20:11: i seriosuly want it to happpen it all depends on how much interest and if we can get the police to close the road for the day.
