Everyone already knows why it was a shit road, u don't need to steer away from the main topic to prove this. <br />
However, do u feel that this event has stepped forward? Will the people looking at this event see the guys organizing it at good people? Or violent idiots...I for one saw the organizers at stereotypical crazed fool with no regard for public safety... Imagine if local council or the police saw the display on Friday night? You guys would be ruined before it even started. <br />

Now back to the point. I don't think dividing the two disciplines is fair, there are some great guys who ride luge that I have lots of respect for, they are good at what they do and are good friendly people, and you know who u are. It just so happens there are some real bad people out there, horrible people who are stubbon, rude and straight up shot cunts. And it just so happens they ride luge. Of course if they rode skateboards it would be NO DIFFERENT! they would get the same treatmant as anyone in their position would.<br />
It really sucks that theres a few bad eggs out there just totally blowing it for the rest of them. You know damn well who you are. <br />
I suppose if it helps so ease this 'wedge' we can just start naming names, and spare the innocent from being branded and grouped into the same category as a bunch of fuckwits<br />

<p>although there are all these fantastic roads we were not YET in a position to be able to use them ....</p>
<p>as many of the 'good roads' are main roads and used by locals, the road that we picked ultimately had to have a form of bypass in order to have minimal disruptions to the public and thus gain approval from council. of course there are roads out there that we would have LOVED to have raced, unfortunately its not always that simple.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the end council had to give final approval of the road we used and the traffic management plan. For the cause of looking to the future and having future events we needed to formulate working relationships with local council, police and community . Essentially this year was the time for us to prove that we are not the stereotypical crazed idiots that pelt ourselves downhills with no regard for our own or the public's safety. </p>
<p>Having a solid base to work with is key.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>"The fact that the area holds SO SO SO SO SOOOOO much potential for events (those that have ever even just driven through the area know exactly what i mean) no where else holds the same number of quality surfaced AND gnarly roads, in such a small area.</p>
<p>The amount of potential this holds for possible event location is like no other. "</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So true, Why then was a straight rough shit road chosen for the location of this event and then talked up like it was one of the roads mention above? Why mislead people? not good karma....</p>

My question and I will put this to the event organizers only, is world class Luger Yvonne labth had have spent tons of money coming to your event and he had decided that he wanted to go and ride in one of the best DH areas in AUS would you have disqualified him? Also would you feel guilty for telling that the course was fast and not very ruff?<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I won't a truthfull answer to this, but I very much doubt I will get one!
