Premium Member Comment by Daniel Monaghan on September 19, 2013 at 8:31: I have to leave my car in Canberra from the 2nd October for the 2 weeks before the National Capital Slalom Championships while I fly north to see family. Airport parking is very expensive. Anyone have some place I can safely leave my car and skate gear?

Comment by martin pavey on September 17, 2013 at 21:35: ive just payed my dues so im ready to race ! im back first race since 81 so could be a bit rusty ! hope some of you over east crew can make it to jacks atack slalom !

Comment by Ben freifeld on September 17, 2013 at 17:42: Yeah..about that, my DH setup has 25 inch WB anyway. Plus i just bombed my local 70kmh hill and the GS setup was heaps of fun, felt faster than usual (probably because the board is slightly smaller) and as for foot braking, i have a feeling that some people have over exaggerated, like Chinese whispers, one person says its challenging then the next says that its gnarly and so on. I'll bring both boards and decide when I've seen the hill in person.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on September 17, 2013 at 16:37: From what Ive been told the upcoming GS event is a DH event with cones. Ive not come across a slalom race before that needs foot braking before a turn.
Even at Pump Station you could go all out without the need to slow down.

Id be riding something you are already comfortable riding before you try testing new setups.

We have official approval for our closed road event!!! Nov 24th Perth WA Slalom racing!!!

Th road is wide enough to run a dual lane race. And hopefully we will get hold of some timing gear for single lane races.

Comment by Ben freifeld on September 10, 2013 at 18:54: shipping was $40. And that was for a set of zigs, heaps of bushings, hardware, trucks and the deck itself...seems alright to me...and i takes about a week to get to my door.
