Comment by Matt McD on September 27, 2012 at 22:31: Sick, the only thing better than a meat raffle, epic skate raffle!
If you listed prizes and pre sold tickets it would allow under ages to take part.

ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on September 27, 2012 at 22:06: Raffle is Sat night at the Skatesman Hotel NCSC Official Dinner :) There will as always be a stash kept for the Sunday ditch (best stack, grom etc.) and there will be some random prizes on Saturday at the racing too. We have several decks and completes, wheels, bearings, trucks, plastics (what?) and t-shirts. If you can't make it and have a skate mate you can trust (don't worry we'll be calling the names) send some cash to get you some tix! What do people think about in the future posting the prizes and allowing pre purchase raffle tix?

Comment by James on September 27, 2012 at 21:56: Is the raffle on the saturday or the sunday? I may actually win something this year if I can make it!

ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on September 27, 2012 at 21:51: We don't hold a raffle. We hold a MONSTER RAFFLE!!!!!! Currently there are more individual raffle prizes than entered riders.
