ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

This was an idea nathan had the other day and let me know wat you think. The idea is that we have a race in coffs harbour but not just any race since coffs is right in the middle of sydney and brisbane he suggested a skate of origin comp for longboarders - Sydney/naccos vs QLD "The Skate Of Origin". I do not know of any hills around here to hold an outlaw on but i havent scouted every hill around theres millions of bannana growers roads in the moutains and a few hidden tracks i am yet to skate so at the moment let us all know wat you think about the Skate Of Oringin!!!

i have got a possible hill for this - Bellingen Hospital Hill (about 10k's before Dorrigo) i have sent an email to the council to enquire about using the hill. Fingers crossed they agree.

Any support would be massively apreciated

cheers all

might aswell skate dorrigo then! but hospital is still the shiz, good luck gettin council on board.

 

The problem with dorrigo now is that there are so many road works and blocks because of cliff colapses and rain damage its hard enough just driving on it plus there are heaps of cops on it now  

I don't see the point, QLD would get so owned it would be shameful! Mwahaha

How bout bananas near Byron? That's pretty much on the boarder

hahaha true. yeah good point i mean there are sick tracks all the way up the coast  

How about make it an annual event and each year change states and include all Aussie states! You could have the first in Coffs or whatever then the overall winner at that meet chooses the next state to visit. You have to visit ALL states before you can redo one already run? Sounds fair, would get more people into it and different sponsors and shit too.

 

Did you not want to race Victorians because you're afraid?......

Hey im open to suggestions thats a pretty good idea to host in different states each year

this the councils reply to my enquirery and i think i might go with an outlaw coz if you read the condishions i need some serious $$$$$$$$$$
Councils reply- I acknowledge receipt of your email regarding the above event on Bowraville Road adjacent to the hospital, and which would be considered like any other event. Standard conditions include, but not limited to:
  • An approved Traffic Management Plan (TMP) by an accredited person that details the route, parking areas, spectator areas, marshalling areas, dates, times, road closures, traffic control, access for emergency vehicles, etc. 
  • Use of accredited traffic controllers for set up and pull down of any devices associated with the Traffic Control Plan (TCP)
  • If the road is to be closed then advertising would be required.
  • Proof of public liability insurance to the value of $20,000,000.00
As this is a regional road the Roads and Traffic Authority RTA would not require any separate approvals however if this event is considered a road race (like cycling events) then Police approval would be required.
 
It should be noted that this section of Bowraville Road services the Brierfield and Kalang areas and is the only access to Bellingen from those areas. Closing the road for the event would represent a severe disruption to the residents of those areas.
 
The location of the hospital to the event would not necessarily satisfy the safety requirements for the event as the staff at the hospital would not be directly involved in the event as they would be engaged in their normal day to day activities. Ambulance staff are not stationed at the hospital and would need to be approached separately to provide support for the event.
Standard stuff

TWENTY MIRRION DORRARS?


wouldnt matter what hill,theres no advantage,.people win on hills theyve never skated all the time,.....as usual if its an outlaw its gotta be along way from anything or it wont get finished,

we are marked men now,.everytime we skate even with a small group moving after a few runs,the cops are allover it,people own mobile phones and like to use them.

rad idea. i can imagine this becoming a tradition. however, im thinking we choose a 3rd party hill that is rarely skated by people in either state so that no one gets too big an advantage...

stay tuned coz im still not giving this one up im searching around for some new hills that may be good for a race
