Event Description

Round 3 at Geelong longboard track. There's big cash prizes. Most will already know the track and where it is. But if not, it is an intermediate track, pretty smooth but can get pretty intense. This is an all round good track for throwing days, due to not having to get it closed down and go through all that with the council.

Race Details

1 class-open. We'll need to know how many numbers will show up pretty soon so we can get the heats sorted out.

2-man heats. 5 pushes at the start of the heats. Any dirty racing and you'll be disqualified and will where the cone of shame.

It's now on the 13th of April due to more time for organization. PRACTICE RUNS START AT 11

Getting There

I'd say get dropped off or find a lift. I'm not sure about how to get there on public transport, maybe just ask someone else going to see if they know how to get there from southern cross station. Meet at the start of 'three springs rd geelong" at 11:00. Practice runs will eventually start, then heats will start, and eventually on to finals.

Entry Fee

EVERYONE must sign a waiver! IF YOU ARE UNDER 18, YOUR PARENTS OR GUARDIAN MUST ALSO SIGN THE WAIVER. $10 for entry to competition. Get your downhill setups ready, shred the track, finish on podium to win some cash, and show who's the boss this year of Geelong Longboard Race. Waiver%20of%20Responsibility%20pdf.pdf

Safety gear

Helmet & gloves must be worn. Full face advised.

Race has been given clearence to get Asra points!

Comment by Oliver Rose-Grigg on April 12, 2013 at 10:38: Do I still have to sign the waiver if I'm not participating in the race. but I'm still going just to watch.

and is their parking ????

Comment by Jake Cowan on April 8, 2013 at 16:47: THE WAIVER PDF IS NOW UP. PRINT OFF & GET SIGNED BY YOUR PARENTS IF NEEDED

Comment by Jake Cowan on April 7, 2013 at 21:26: Yes I'll post the PDF for the waivers up this week. There will be no grom division because they're will still not be enough numbers, it's not a sponsored event so it the money is coming out of Watuh's pocket, consider that. Yes I'll change it to 11. PRACTISE RUNS START AT 11

Comment by Algy on April 7, 2013 at 12:10: Also is the a place that we can download the waiver? My parents won't be there to sign a form on the day.

And why no grom division? Its Melbourne, at least 50% of attendees will be groms... And if you make the grom division the same as ASRA then we can get points.

Comment by Algy on April 7, 2013 at 12:06: It starts a bit early for us groms catching the vline, is there any chance you can move it to start later?
