Comment by Bozac on January 21, 2011 at 11:34: I'm in for the 6th now, as long as it is a midday session. I'm looking to sell a set of rts/x trackers and an old pps jason mitchell if anyone is looking for a starter setup for a mate

Premium Member Comment by Marek on January 21, 2011 at 11:20: Hmm Ok. At the risk of trying to suit everybody (impossible) How about the Sunday the 13th of Feb?

Premium Member Comment by PC on January 21, 2011 at 11:01: Sorry, can't make it for the 6th. Daughters birthday weekend.

Hope you get a good crew along for it.

I've just scoped out a new venue for slalom near Gorokan.

Gated lead in road & carpark at a sports field, unused on sundays in summer.

The layout has some interesting possibilities for a hybrid/ 3D course.

Boyd & I will try to get a sunday slalom date sorted out for late feb or early march hopefully.

Going to set up a course this weekend for a test ride if I can find the time & a few crew.

If anyones up for it let me know & I'll message you some details.

We want to keep the location low key so we don't blow it out before we get a

chance to use it for some sessions.

Comment by Bozac on January 21, 2011 at 10:04: shit i just checked and my missus has some birthday things planned for the weekend down the coast on that weekend. I will check it out and get back to you later tonight. thanks for that fitz, I will give ado a buzz now he has one left in stock

Premium Member Comment by Marek on January 21, 2011 at 9:56: Ok so everyone else happy to lock in a session on Sunday the 6th Feb at 1pm?

Location to be advised? Sutherland sounds fine so long as we can find a spot with some uphill run out and we can see whats coming. Maybe James can comment and Fitz can check it out.

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on January 21, 2011 at 9:25: Number 1 most popular slalom deck in Australia!

Very good to ride once you have the setup dialed in right. Can even be used for Pumpstation GS. I'm riding one there in the pic on my page.

Highly recomended. Give Ado a call, he may have some left.

Comment by Bozac on January 21, 2011 at 9:22: yeah i forgot about gabe's event so maybe we should try and make it the 6th. It's my birthday the day before so I might not be in great shape though. while I'm posting what is everyone's impressions of the pavel roadster? thinking about splashing out on a nice deck soon, i had a quick ride on robbo's in melb and it felt nice but haven't gotten too much feedback from other guys

Premium Member Comment by Fitz on January 21, 2011 at 9:16: The cycle track is open to public at all times, even while the cyclists have it booked on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, certain weekend days also.

The proviso is that non cyclists or slow cyclists use the outside of the lane so the fast guys can hold the inside (this would switch sides as there are left and right hand turns). Although its not always upheld like that. Once the cyclist show up they're often quite rude and ask you to leave as the emporer has arrived.

Its best to just check their website for events schedules and avoid any clash esp for ride days when there would more than 3-4 of us riding.

I think the cycle track is best.

I've skated Belingarra many times in the past and although it has supreme surface it can be extremely hot and offers no shade. I've also been asked to leave (even though I sweet talked my way out of it and was able to stay) by Senior Netball management as the council have prohibited skating there.

I haven't seen the new surface at Sutho yet. I'll have to go have a look tonight!

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on January 21, 2011 at 9:01: 30th I'll be at Gabe's slope style. 6th is better for me.
Never skated the Sutherland track, but others have...i imagine it would be a bit dangerous with bikes using it. Belingarra is another option.

Comment by Bozac on January 21, 2011 at 8:32: 30th sounds good weather permitting, I don't mind where we skate. I'm keen to see your new trucks in action as well Mark. Catch up soon and hopefully get a crew to come out (Bugs, Fitz, Robbo etc) the more the merrier. Plus i might need a hand collecting all the cones i spray everywhere....
