(worlds first??) DH skateboard drift event.
g'day guys...as of last night we were given the go ahead to promote it....sorry its so short notice but now we know its on!
the worlds first (we've been digging and cant find another...) down hill skateboard drift event...
think, car drifting (touge) meets slalom and sliding. yep, through gates- down a hill, you and a competitor will run 2 runs a heat once chasing then leading to decide who's bringing the heat.
then the winner will move onto the next round...and continue until there is only one....
April 17th.
Baskerville raceway, using the 10-12% slope side.
scrutineering kicks off at 8.00 am
$5 entry.
the 18th will be a skate mission day for anyone who comes down where we will get you guys out to some of the sweet hills around hobart etc and then off to the pub!
also, if needed...i'm sure couches can be found...bring ya boards and ya' gear and ya' drinking boots.

attached is the current thinking on the structure and rules- if anyone has any suggestions/questions let us know. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL HERE AND SLIDEWAYS!

hey robbo, we were thinking about doing something in this vein yeah...we are going to have pics and video from the day and interview the winners etc...
the idea was to then get a writeup and send it to CW...but a write up for ASRA would be damn cool too. i'll talk to steve about it.
