Event Description
Hornsby Industrial Estate is the test facility for a full blown attempt at drift longboarding.

Racing down a steep wide hill between cones, cardboard banks and through gates, in slalom and head to head racing.
Speeds over 70, thane lines over 20m, maximum level of stoke and adrenaline.

Ride whatever wheels you want. I was going to ban square-lipped wheels but a set of dusted InHeats will rock on this track and plenty of sideways action will still be going down.
Rego
$20 entry.

- Womens: 8
What else?
Heaps of give aways, beer and bbq all day.
ASRA points awarded!!!

no! completely different
haha yeah same deal but the hill is gnarly steep and you will need to slide not just for fun and show, you could do there course on fresh wheels and smoke all of them, no such luck at hornsby, instead of cones im making corners(inside) out of cardboard panels a foot high, so you can read the apex profile of the corner as you drift.
gonna be fun

tryed a slalom drift course today on a steep as shit road, it was intense hey, but totally awesome, hit it with Alistair and after a few runs we had it dialed, im gonna have to organise a goofy brother to come try a demo course with us cause it will be difficult to have a even race if i design it solo.
but the idea works, a steep enough road, tight enough cones and some good sliding skills and your having a ball racing down a straightish road.
