Comment by Bozac on February 8, 2011 at 12:55: actually just thinking about that they would both be rears but one would be a bit more turny right?

Comment by Bozac on February 8, 2011 at 12:31: hey just got the new concrete wave in the mail and it looks like tracker are doing another production run of the rts/x offsets if anyone is interested. $120 a truck though so it ain't cheap but at least you will be an individual.... i'm thinking the rear would work similar to an airflow but can anyone explain the point behind the offset front truck?

Premium Member Comment by Marek on February 7, 2011 at 10:57: Sutherland was great with the weather just holding off for about 15 or so riders ranging from slalom techheads to groms on downhill gear. The surface was super smooth and the traditional blood sacrafice to the gods of slalom was made by a couple of lucky souls (the surface even created smooth wounds!).

The word is this will likely be a GS event for the conehead cup in 2011. Bugs was initially setting a loose open course with a slowish top section and a faster lower section with huge side to side "sweepers". He gradually tightened up the course as the day went on creating more speed and interest at the bottom of the course still keeping some of the fun GS sweepers. Just about everyone was making the course even on longboards. Thanks to Mountain Mick for posting some photos.

Let's try and get this session going more often with a monthly session alternating between Sutherland, Allawah and Pumpstation, or anywhere else anyone can think of. Anyone want to call it for the 6th of March?

Comment by Bozac on February 6, 2011 at 16:43: Sutherland has the best surface i have seen for slalom, i think ASRA needs a cycle club front to get councils to hotmix roads for us.... Thanks to all the crew who let me have a trial on their set-ups, so many nice trucks yet so little cash in the wallet!

Premium Member Comment by sean meaney on February 5, 2011 at 9:08: would be stoked to see some Super Gs in melbourne this year, i have dusted off the cones a few times and run it out at fitzroy gardens at night and its a great spot, well lit, no hassle with anyone and the pavement is flawless with an uphill run off and a bunch of different slopes to use

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on February 5, 2011 at 8:35: The short answer is no. The longer answer is that the CHC is going to be radically different this year. Gonna check out Sutherland as a venue on Sunday. More info to come after that...

Premium Member Comment by Dave M on February 5, 2011 at 7:34: Any dates for CHC 2011 yet?

Premium Member Comment by PC on January 24, 2011 at 0:06: Yeeeah...... CHC 2011.

We have 2 new possible venues for slalom on the central coast

which would also need the council ticks to run an event.

Plus a drain. :-)

Comment by Bozac on January 23, 2011 at 21:32: I'm down for helping out as much as I can for a sydney event. here is a link to the new fullbag vid with a very annoying soundtrack to get you guys amped for the next session, i can't seem to get the embed code to work
