Tight set by Mountain Mick , Nick Sable & Mark Gorman
40 cones set between 6 and 7 ft with various spaced offsets.
The start was 1234 easy left right , then it got all sorts of funky, some hard offset and varying spacing had a few pulling out , and a few DQ's on the hardest set up so far this year

A excellent turnout of more then 20 skaters from the ACT .. Blue Mountains .. Central Coast .. South Coast..Southern Highlands & Sydney crews came together for a fantastic day of racing for round 4 of the ASRA point score. The Sutherland Sessions was a 6 run jam format , with a .2 deduction per cone.
Its great to see some new comers to the slalom seen , all have been skaters for many years , one even traveling the world racing Luge in the old IGSA World Cup.
Welcome to Slalom racing, Phill Champion, Cameron Curry, Ben Manganaro, Jeremy Ebers, Phill Watson & Luke Wallace . Also to the long boarders & kids that gave it a go ,but did not compete and was good to catch up again Craig "Gumboots Symes". Well done guys.

A big thank you to to everyone that gave there time and effort to make the day run so well , Time keepers Louise Gorman & Chloe Gorman,, 
Track marshal Effie Miris,, and Ross Scutts for the use of the Transponders.

Cheers MG

Hybrid set by Mountain Mick & Mark Gorman. 
The top section was easy and open with a few simple offsets , just before you come into the left dogleg Mick placed a wicked 30' left offset then back again to the right , before a quick burst of 6 cones at 2.5 and 3 m, at this stage you started to get some speed and felt like you could get into some rhythm.
Nup , although the next 20 + cones where open, the changing distance, and various offsets was just enough to keep you having to concentrate on your line ,each gate different to the next , causing havoc in the practice for a lot off the new guys,. Getting towards the lower section , the cones came back into an easy flowing pump. The last few were deceptive, a straight varying spaced line of cones into the slight up hill finish saw a few DQs right at the end of the medium paced yet challenging course.

Terrific afternoon thank you Mark.   Top time and 'direction' from you ... you are clearly used to dealing with people to get the best result for everyone's benefit and enjoyment - and to get them to come along, from 'far and wide' ... well done!

The Sydney weather is looking great for the comp on Sunday, with only a chance of a shower latter in the day ,, for you guys and gals coming up the Hume from the south and ACT/ CAOSS crew there is a good chance of snow in the morning so drive safe.

Hi folks , Just a quick rundown for the slalom day, , We will try to run it based on a ASRA 6 Run jam format, Your best 2 runs will be combined , to get the best overall time for the day , Open practice will run for the first hour or so , & you can run the course as many times as you want.. before the race But if you cant stay all day , Nominate the run & set a time, when you like , The course will be set as a SS / GS with cones from 1.5 to a max of 10m , we will be cleaning and setting before 12 if you want to help set the course ,that would be great.
Cheers
MG
