Event Description

It was soo fun and casual last time, lets do it again.

Same place, same format, same cash prizes for every round.

It will be a fresh course with some other little challenges on the day.

Finish early and jam out in the skatepark and the snakerun.

When: 5th August - 10am start

Where: Dulwich Hill Snakerun

What: Shakedown Jam format

Round 1
Everybody does four runs, and are then ranked in order of their average time. The top 3 riders in the round wins $ (depending on numbers, last time was: 1st $30 / 2nd $20 / 3rd $10). The slower portion of the riders are eliminated. The rest progress to Round 2.

Round 2
Exactly the same as Round 1. Your times from the previous round do not carry into this round - you start fresh. Top 3 riders again win $.

Round 3
Exactly the same as Round 2.

Final
The fastest two riders from Round 3 go into the final shakedown round. Two runs each, fastest run wins.

Note: If you hit a cone, or fail to finish the course, it is a DQ. DQ = your slowest time + 1.5 seconds.

Bonus Rounds:

Longest Grind on the weird offset snakerun rail - winner gets a set of trucks

Biggest Air anywhere in the snakerun - winner gets a deck

Catch - both longest grind and biggest air must be done on the same board used to compete in the shakedown.

Entry: $20 on the day

Comment by Kiwi Alex on August 5, 2012 at 21:05: Had a blast at my first snake run event! What killer days. Prop Haggy for taking it out. Thanks Trav for the primo day

Premium Member Comment by PC on August 5, 2012 at 19:54: What an awesome event. Stoked for Haggy taking it out in the end. He got faster & faster all day.

That's another name crossed of the list of people I lend my race boards to.

I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time he's pulled off the jet lagged race win on his return from Norway. Such a gangster.

Thanks to the organizers, Trav & ASRA. Sponsors, Hopkins Racing & the start line girls Astrid & Evie for running such a fun race.

Rad tight little banks with flowing fast surf style turns & a finish where you really had to hold every bit of speed you had to the line.

So rad to attack it on a bowl board with 65mm Early Gnarlys on it.

The family had a great day too, helping with formalities & taking rad photos of the event.

My two rad kids will defs be in the next one after a taste of the old school banked 'crete today.

Congrats to all the riders who got in on the action today.

See you at the next one.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on August 5, 2012 at 17:25: Haggy gets off a plane last night after spending a month in Norway on a fishing boat, and turns up today without a board, and somehow manages to win on a board he borrowed from PC, who dominated all day but then stumbled in the final.

Comment by Kiwi Alex on August 3, 2012 at 14:52: Rad! I'll be there!

Premium Member Comment by Trav on August 3, 2012 at 14:13: Weather is looking perfect for Sunday, so game on!

Good stuff Bernie, see you there.
Alex - Get a train from central to Dulwich Hill Train station and roll down the hill (50 meters away)

Prize Pack Sponsored by Hopkin.

1st overal - Elephant Noside deck

Biggest air (in snake run) - PPS Deck

Longest / best grind (in snake run) - Indy Trucks

Plus Cash prizes each round, same as last time, same as PC's slalom.

even if you don't race come down and have a roll. Penny's, z flexes, pool boards, street boards, longboards even drop through boards are fun at this place... scooters will be frowned upon...

oh.. bring beer, last we didn't and regretted it all day.
