It's rad with the new surface hey Fitz?

No worries about runout, I have never made it to the top of the uphill at the bottom.

Most of the time it isn't very busy at all, especially the bottom section.

6th of feb sounds good to me. I'll be there

Can't wait till it cools down later this arvo.

The red part of the track is most popular with cyclist. The Rawson Ave straight is totally flat then as it curls around anti c/w you've got that big gradual decent sweeper.

I've skated that slalom which was long and easy but the surface has always been average.

I reckon the best little part is the green extension track. Not as popular with cyclists and the best part is it's a loop rd which means less walking back up the hill. The finish line would be starting to go up hill again making it easy to come to a rest.

Ok Stick with the Sunday 6th of Feb, Sunday 1pm. Me, Boz, maybe Bugs, Fitz? maybee James? Thats a crew. I'll bring cones. Location still TBC.

 

PC i'm up the coast for one of your sessions soon for sure. Just not this weekend. I'm off to Adelaide, and was going to hookup with SAs best (and only) slalomer JudgeK, but, he's quit!

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

Hmm Ok. At the risk of trying to suit everybody (impossible) How about the Sunday the 13th of Feb?

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.

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.

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.
