ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on August 22, 2012 at 10:23: Isn't the 2014 Pavel reinforced with Unavailablium nano particles? :)

Just heard back from the Statesman Hotel, they are all good for our dinner/preso/raffle, but they did warn that Floriade is on from mid September to mid October so it's a good idea to get in soon if you're booking to stay there.

Comment by Mark Gorman on August 21, 2012 at 20:59: Cool, switch 100 cone with ASC 650s on a 2014 Pavel :)

Cheers

ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on August 21, 2012 at 20:12: I like switch slalom lol. Seriously though, bring old stuff if you want but other than the proper slalom we have settled on the 100 cone as the fun event. The old stuff works well on the 100 cone :) If there was a category for old stuff I would say reissues wouldn't count :D

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on August 21, 2012 at 15:28: I want a "future" category, where we all ride gear from the future.

Seriously, I don't understand the attraction of using gear from the past. If you wanna have novelty events I vote for "switch slalom", where everybody has to ride switch.

Comment by Mark Gorman on August 21, 2012 at 13:27: Is there a retro category race on the weekend , and do reissue count or dose it need to be old stock

Will be bringin some old stuff , so if you have some ,bring it as well

Cheers
