Depends how many people come.  All that will be announced on the day.  For now, Cre8ive Sk8, Voodoo Longboards and Goodtime will be sponsoring the event, so there are goodies to look forward to!

It all depends. We will have all that sorted by the day. We have someone who says that they will give lifts up, although, another driver would be welcome.
We'll have to give it a go the day before as well as there will probably be few practice runs, still to be sorted though!

Says that 32 people are coming but only have 4 people registered! Please try and register through the paypal system.  It makes is so much easier to sort out everything for the day.

For those who can not use paypal, send a message through to Tommy or myself. If you don't have paypal, find a mate/parent/brother/sister who does and ask them to use it.

Nope, to be confirmed after some discussion, but somewhere near the guard rails on the last straight to give a decent run out area.

 

by the way people, the run out is still down hill, you need to be able to foot brake at a high speed! You can slide, but incase the other lane is taken up by cars or other riders...

Just out of interest, where is the finnish line going to be, are we racing all the way down to the bottom gate?

I was putting off answering that, but Benbro, sounds fair.  For saftey reasons, we will try to have no cars on the track when we know there are riders coming down and hopefuly a spotter on the hardest corner, but control is limited, so stay safe and stay fair.  One lane racing!

im coming,just paypal doesnt work for me.

not a good idea allowing racers to go in other lane for a few reasons,if its allowed people will do it and may not be concentrating ahead while in a racing situation.

and also it can be unfair in a situation where the leading rider has to stay in his lane to avoid a car and take the wide line around a corner,and as soon as the car is past him ,following riders can instantly chop thru gaining valuable ground that they dont deserve and possibly taking the lead.

and having some of the public observe skaters racing down a public rd is one thing,but watching us race down the hill in the wrong lane is another.

for safety and fairness to all stay in your lane,...

They would have to give us a real reason to not close the road. Just because people speed in cars doesn't mean the council wont let you drag race at a strip, if anything, it can be used to show there is a need for those kind of events.

Either way, it's a good way to see if the hill is worth closing down, getting opinions of the interstate guys. If it is, then we will go ahead and try, if not, then we can send some money into asra from the race and there will be more prize money!
