<p>Mt. Panorama, Bathurst: Kevin Reimer continued his dominance over the competition, making it three wins out of three at Newtons Nation. In a blistering final he passed Douglas Dalua Silva while coming out of the Dipper, and took on the notorious Forest Elbow with the barest of airbrakes, skimming the bales and rocketing down Conrod Straight with too much exit speed for the rest to catch.</p>
<p>Micah Green passed Dalua in the final straight to take second and cap an impressive weekend where he established himself as a new force on the world circuit. In third was Dalua, who despite having a tailor-made style for the high-speed course has never won here. In fourth was Adam Persson, who survived a disasterous first day qualifying run to qualify via the "Slowies" bracket and fight through a tough draw.</p>
<p>Earlier, Marisa Nunez won the women's event with a flawless run, with Maga McWhinnie taking second while Tash Graham and Gemma Holland took heavy falls into the bales at Forest Elbow.</p>

<p>In the Juniors, Connor Ferguson confirmed his dominance over the weekend, while in the Street Luge, Queenslander Graham Brittain took out his first World Cup win. In Classic Luge, Cedric Robert beat out local favourite Adam Yates.</p>
<p>The event set an incredible precedent for the quality of the live streaming, allowing people all over the world to watch the action and see live results. This is the future of downhill skateboarding!</p>

<p>Earlier Canadian Dillon Stephens qualified for tomorrow's finals in first place, beating out two-time winner Kevin Reimer, Alex Tongue and Kyle Wester.</p>
<p>Jackson Shapiera was the fastest of the locals, qualifying in ninth place, with 17 year old Kelly Carter right behind in tenth. Each will be desperate to be the first Australian to win this iconic race. Shapiera has battled injury every year at Newton's; this could be his year.</p>
<p>The 2012 female World Champion, Peruvian Marissa Nunez, is sitting in prime position to take out the women’s category. From Malaysia, Abdil Mahdzan qualified first in classic luge and second in street luge, where Australian Graham Brittain held on to first.</p>

<p>It should be simple - the fastest guy down the hill wins. And while a China Bomb has a certain charm, we've gone the extra mile to come up with a way to run Newtons 2013 so that everybody gets the maximum amount of runs and stoke, while making sure that the fastest guy down the hill still wins.</p>
<p>It's a brand new format that has never been used before at World Cup level. Read below for all the gory details.</p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">Opens</span></strong></p>
<p>After playing second fiddle to Ben Hay throughout 2011, Cam Kite finally broke through with solid performances throughout 2012. In contrast, Ben did relatively poorly at Keira and Newton's and and from that point on could never catch Cam's lead. These two guys are the mainstays of the Australian race circuit, each attending 10 races throughout the year.</p>
<p>Dejan Djukic started the year as a grom and ended it as the third ranked Australian downhiller. In fourth, Rob McWhinnie spent as much time organising races as he did racing, and never failed to threaten a win regardless of the quality of the opposition.</p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">Womens</span></strong></p>
<p>After trailing Gemma Holland for most of the year, Maga McWhinnie finally pipped her on the last race of the year to become the Women's champ. Between racing seven races in Australia, Maga also raced on the international circuit, and ranked 5th in the world over 2012.</p>

<p>Jayden Mitchell arrived at Mt Keira in April relatively unknown outside his hometown of Adelaide, but that all changed after winning the Junior division and placing fourth in the Opens, and then backing that up with another win in the Juniors at Newton's. The Adelaide groms showed themselves to be a force overall along with the NSW groms, while Queensland's Josh Evans and Lewis Carroll rounded out the top 10.</p>

<p><strong><span class="font-size-3">Slalom</span></strong></p>
<p>Slalom in 2012 was dominated by the Melbourne crew, with Marty Kent a clear step better than the rest. Jet-setting Nick Sable took second, and Hamish Cheyne third.</p>
<p>Most of the favourites failed to rank highly. Jackson Shapiera was injured for most of the year, while Steve Daddow, Haggy Strom, Nathan Paff and Paul Shaddock stayed home rather than travel to the big races.</p>

<p>In a major piece of disappointing news, Wollongong City Council has <a href="http://www.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/council/news/Pages/mtkeiraroadclosure.aspx">closed Mt. Keira Rd</a> for repairs due to concerns over public safety. The road is in danger of slipping off the edge of the mountain, and the cliff face above the road also needs to be stabilised in order to prevent rock falls. The required road works will not be completed in time for the 2013 Mt. Keira Challenge, and this means that the event will not take place in 2013.</p>
<p>This cancellation is not about the event - it's about the road being closed to the public for repairs. As soon as the road is repaired the event will return. Both ASRA and Wollongong City Council remain totally committed to the Mt. Keira Downhill Challenge.</p>
<p>ASRA has explored the possibility of alternative venues with Wollongong Council, and have concluded that the various options are either not of World Cup standard, or have too many logistical hurdles to be overcome in the short period of time remaining.</p>
<p>Our apologies go to anybody who has made arrangements for the 2013 event. We know this may mess with the plans of many people, and that the notice comes late.</p>
<p>The only positive in this news is that road works should leave Mt. Keira Rd smoother and wider than before. We'll see you there in 2014, and at Newton's Nation in May 2013. </p>NACOSS Rules the Gnarparktag:www.skateboardracing.org.au,2011-06-19:2144162:BlogPost:5113702011-06-19T07:30:00.000ZBugshttp://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/bugs

The podium was an all NACCOS affair, with Glen Mills triumphing with a time of 35.59 seconds, closely followed by friends Paul Shaddock and Ryan Nickles.<p></p>
<p>Lea Robbo was the fastest of the women, and there were too many groms to figure out who was the fastest, but Jack Meyn is the fastest runner - he always seems to get the long-distance proddy toss.</p>

<p>ASRA is proud to unveil our new rider rego system. If you're organising a race you can use this system to register riders and collect their rego fees prior to your race. It's free, it's easy, and it takes away one of the big headaches of organising a race.</p>
<p>So what is it exactly? If you're organising a race, ASRA will create a Rider Registration Form especially for your event. Riders will have to use this form to register and pay prior to attending the race. You'll get the payments in your bank account, and you'll have access to the rider list to know exactly who is and isn't coming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>How will the rider rego system help me?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>No more chasing riders for rego money. Riders must pay in order to register, and you'll have the money in the bank well in advance of your race, allowing you to cover your costs, and saving you from the worry of people saying they will come but then not showing up..</li>
<li>A live rider list that can be linked to from your event page means that riders will know for sure whether they've registered. No more PMs and emails by riders asking "did you get my event rego?" or saying "I swear I sent it last week". If they are not on the list than they did not rego and pay.</li>
<li>The detailed and up-to-date rider list gives you info about the field, eg. how many juniors, emergency contact info, number of interstate riders etc.</li>
<li>No worrying about being swamped by massive numbers of riders on the day - you can limit the number of riders in advance.</li>
<li>Priority rego systems can be used to ensure the top riders have access to popular events.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>I'm organising an event and I want this. What do I need to give ASRA?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The name of your event</li>
<li>Email address for your PayPal account.</li>
<li>Email address for us to forward the rego submissions and detailed rider list information to.</li>
<li>Event entry cost (if applicable)</li>
<li>List of disciplines (if applicable)</li>
<li>Total rider limit (if applicable)</li>
<li>Rego start date</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Can all events have this?</strong></p>
<p>To qualify for this service:</p>
<ul>
<li>The event must be listed on the <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events">ASRA Events</a> page.</li>
<li>The event organiser must be a <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/association-member-list">financial ASRA member</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have an upcoming event contact <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/Dave">Robbo</a> or <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/bugs">Bugs</a> with the details and ASRA will do the rego grunt work so you can spend more time putting on a RAD event.</p>

<p>Words by Sean Meaney<br></br><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220433799?profile=original" width="737"></img> Kongwak was a sick event put on by some great riders.

Cam and Louis really know how to throw an event together, the traffic was very well controlled and the hill was absolutely amazing; nice and steep sweepers leading into a banked hairpin and then running out into a right handed turn before crossing the finish. Speeds where up around 60kph+ and there were plenty of guys who sorely regretted not bringing leathers, or in Ben's case, elbow padding.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>The level of racing that guys where bringing to the table was amazing. In the first round there was at least one heat that could have been the final. With so many guys in their first race it was awesome to see so many of them advancing through the heats and even challenge for the win in the final. A few noteworthy efforts for first timers were <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/cameronfeely">Cam Feely</a> who got 2nd in the final and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/LouisTragear">Louis Tragear</a> who got 8th. I am proud to see guys like you coming up in the scene.</p>
<p>The final was great - I could not think of four guys more deserving to be in it. Having two riders 16 years of age or under in the final really showed that the Melbourne scene no longer consists of a handful of older riders. In the end <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/CallumOcallaghandaft897">Callum O'Daft</a> came away with the win, Cam Feely used his local knowledge to hold down 2nd place, and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/Nippom">Nipps</a> mannaged to come out of a nasty crash just a bit better then Chris O'Brien who took an absolute beating in the crash yet still went on to finish the final.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">13 year old Louis Tragear showing skill beyond his years</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Finally I want to say a big thank you to everyone who turned up and drove shuttles up the hill, helped call the finish's, helped make sense of the mangled paper work table that Cam and I were freaking out over towards the end of the day, and anyone who came down and was stoked on the day. It blew me away to see 22 riders racing downhill on a hill like that; it was great to see it happen.</p>

<p>Greetings fellow longboarders!<br/>Welcome to 2011 and another year of exciting things happening here with ASRA.</p>
<p>Looking back over the past year there has been a tremendous growth in this sport we all love and do - longboarding. When I first moved to Australia nearly eight years ago you would rarely see anyone with a longboard. Nowadays they are everywhere. I've skated my local haunt in Manly for the past three years without seeing a single other person there skating. The other day there were six dudes there cruising around and catching bush barrels - just another indicator of the growth our sport is experiencing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profiles/blogs/ben-hay-continues-winning-run" target="_blank"><img style="float: right; padding: 10px;" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220432571?profile=original&amp;crop=1:1"/></a>A really positive development we are seeing is that all aspects of skating are being pursued under this banner of longboarding. Everything from hardcore downhill, freeriding, sliding, soulcarving, slalom racing, long-distance skating to that simplest of skating joys, just cruising down the sidewalk. We are extending to all types of terrain - mountain roads, local roads, highways (the Adelaide boys specialise in this!), bike paths, ditches, you name it. If there's a rideable surface to be found, we're there. It's exciting for an old-timer like to me to sit back and see all this develop all over the country. And I say old-timer because there is a whole new generation of young guys and gals who are out there ripping and doing stuff I never imagined possible a few years ago.</p>
<p>On the downhill front, the year kicked off in fine form with <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profiles/blogs/ben-hay-continues-winning-run">MotH III</a>, which is rapidly gaining legendary status. It is a terrific venue that is friendly enough for beginners yet provides enough thrills and spills for the veterans to have fun as well. As we all know, Ben Hay continued his winning form, shoring up an early lead in the <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/asra-downhill-rankings">rankings</a>.</p>
<p>Speaking of rankings, most of you probably noticed we launched the <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/asra-downhill-rankings">ASRA Rankings for downhill races</a>. This is a perpetual rankings, meaning that going forward it is intended to capture the last 12 months of results on an ongoing basis. The rankings are an incentive for people to organise events and for competitors to travel to races. It already seems to be working, with lots of interstate travelers in attendance at MotH and people already planning to go to events hungry for points. Those who were at MotH already have a ranking. If you weren't there, get an event up and running in your neighbourhood and you'll get points!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/bomb-the-snowies-1" target="_blank"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220432585?profile=original" width="300" style="float: left; padding: 10px;"/></a>Next on the calendar is a small race at <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/kongwak-session-race">Kongwak, Melbourne</a>, followed by <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/bomb-the-snowies-1">Bomb the Snowies</a>, which should be a great deal of fun. <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/riffraff">RiffRaff</a> has been working hard to put on a quality event, and I can't wait to get down there. If you haven't signed up yet, do it!</p>
<p>In terms of what we are up to in ASRA, we have some exciting news. We are proud to announce we have just invested in a very significant piece of infrastructure - a superduper Tag Heuer timing system. This is the same equipment the IGSA uses, and it means we now have the ability to provide events with proper and reliable timing services. It also means we can offer cool features such as split timing and create speed traps to see how fast people are riding. Most importantly, it means we now avoid having to lug hundreds and hundreds of meters of cable around to every event we go to!</p>
<p>Of course, we continue to be able to provide public liability insurance to event organisers. Please <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/contact-asra">contact any of us here at ASRA</a> for information on this. The pace of events taking place is increasing, and it's great to see people across the country putting stuff on for their local rider community.</p>
<p>I know 2011 is going to be a huge year for longboarding and look forward to being part of it.</p>

<p>Welcome to the launch of the perpetual ASRA Downhill Rankings. 2010 has seen an explosion of downhill races throughout Australia, so from this moment on we're going to start collating the results and officially ranking all downhill riders in Australia.</p>

<p>Welcome to the launch of the perpetual ASRA Downhill Rankings. 2010 has seen an explosion of downhill races throughout Australia, so from this moment on we're going to start collating the results and officially ranking all downhill riders in Australia.</p>
<p>We will start the rankings from January 1, 2011, which means the winner of the first race next year will become the No. 1 ranked rider in Australia, at least for a little while. Subsequent races will be added, and once 12 months have passed we will start removing older results to ensure that only a rider's pervious 12 months results are included.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Which races are included?</strong></p>
<p>There are four categories of races that will be included:</p>
<ol>
<li>IGSA World Cup in Australia - ie, Newton's Nation.</li>
<li>IGSA/ASRA Australian Nationals - the IGSA limits these to one per year, and ASRA is currently in negotiations for an ASRA/IGSA Nationals in 2011.</li>
<li>Australian Regionals - includes all legit (non-outlaw) downhill races in Australia</li>
<li>Outlaws - the more people that attend your event, the more ranking points they are worth.</li>
</ol>
<p>Only downhill races are included - no push races, carpark races, ditch races or slalom races.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Which people are included?</strong></p>
<p>We'll collate rankings for:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/asra-downhill-rankings" target="_blank">Open Skateboard</a>,</li>
<li><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/asra-downhill-women-s-rankings" target="_blank">Women's Skateboard</a>,</li>
<li><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/page/asra-downhill-grom-rankings" target="_blank">Groms (U18) Skateboard</a></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>I'm organising a race, and I want it to be included in the rankings. What do I do?</strong></p>
<p>Do these things:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong><a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/event/new?cancelTarget=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.skateboardracing.org.au%2Fevents">Create a public event</a> for your race on this website at least one month in advance.</strong></li>
<li>Run the race. There must be a minimum of 16 racers for skateboard races and 8 for luge races.</li>
<li><strong>Within one week of the end of the race, post the results on the Event page, along with a Podium Picture, and a short report on the event.</strong> <br/>The results must include:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Racer's first name (no nicknames!)</li>
<li>Racer's last name (no nicknames!)</li>
<li>Racer's date of birth</li>
<li>Racer's place in race.<br/><br/>4 Send the results to <a href="mailto:asra@skateboardracing.org.au">asra@skateboardracing.org.au</a></li>
</ul>
<p>We encourage you to use the <a target="_blank" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167688770?profile=original">results spreadsheet</a> when you send us your results.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> ASRA reserve the right to exclude a race for any reason. Significant doubts over the credibility/fairness of the results would necessitate excluding a race.</p>

<b>Sidonia Head-to-Head</b><br/>
<br/>
Less than 24 hours after flying in from an extended stay on the streets of Papua New Guinea, Haggy Strom cruised through each of his heats to return to the winner's podium after a lean period that followed his domination of the early years of the Conehead Cup. Nathan Paff could not get close in the final, finishing more than 1.6 seconds away despite qualifying fastest earlier in the day. Paul Shaddock took out Paul Carey in the consolation final.<br/>

On a day when the rain never stopped, Corey Leeson pipped Steve Daddow by less than the length of a wheel to take out the 2010 Master of the Hill.

<br/>
The Blue Mountains weather can be unpredictable, but on Saturday there was no doubting the conditions would be wet. It had been raining for a week, and the rain was forecast to continue for more days to come. Rain wheels had been the talk in the lead-up to the race, and a load of urethane dust had been expelled from home-made lathes. <br/>
<br/>
The rain caused a number of late scratchings, but 61 hardy souls came out to race. Early practice runs were slow and cautious as people felt out the grip level.<div><br/></div>

<b>Open Skateboard</b><br/>
<br/>
The double elimination format with random seeding threw out some interesting matchups. Last year's runner-up, Dennis Westphal copped a horror draw, getting knocked out by B-Rad Pearson and Kibbling in his first two races. Rob McWhinnie looked the early favourite when he despatched Kibbling, but had to settle for 5th place after being beaten by Leeso in the round of 4, and then beaten by Kibbling in a rematch. Kibbling showed his racing experience (and some pale Canadian legs) with a line that made drafting and passing difficult, until Steve Daddow squeezed between him and the banners on Camp Corner in the most audacious passing maneaouvre of the day. That move put Steve into the final with Leeso, who had just beaten Steve to get to the final undefeated.<br/>
<br/>
Leeso had been perfect all day, but again Steve threw himself into a gnarly pass at Camp Corner and beat Leeso in the ensuing draft race to the finish line, forcing an instant replay final, and the third Steve-Leeso matchup of the day. This time Leeso held the inside line on Camp Corner, forcing Steve to go wide, and they hit the finish line side-by side, with finish-line adjudicator Hop declaring Leeso the winner by "half a wheel". It was a well-deserved win, and a sign of the strength of the Queensland crew, with Quenslanders in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th.<br/>

<b>Luge</b><br/>
<br/>
This was a race with three stories. The first is Phill Champion, who calmly beat every rider he faced without looking stretched. The second is Steve Daddow, who claimed to be a first-time luger but matched his second place in the Open Skateboard with a second place in the Luge. And the third is Scott "Guff" Guthrie, a recent convert to Luge who staked his claim as the giant-killer (or is that giant killer?) of the sport with wins over Nic McKirdy, Daz and Brad Sterritt before being beaten twice by Steve Daddow. Guff overcame slow starts to mow down his opposition with a ruthless and intimidating style.<br/>

<b>Junior Skateboard</b><br/>
<br/>
Merrick Wildash flew down from Queensland for the race and proceded to show that he is the fastest Junior in Australia. The expectation was that Merrick and Gabe Gwynne would battle out the final, but Gabe never seemed in the race, losing first to Merrick and then to grom Cooper Kruize. Merrick beat Cooper in the final to make it a successful weekend: 1st in Junior Skateboard and 4th in the Open Skateboard.<br/>

<b>Grom Skateboard</b><br/>
<br/>
The groms were the stars of the day, with not a single race of experience among them, and having to deal with a wet and slippery track. Scott Poole looked the early favourite, but Cooper Kruize wore him down in the two finals with his consistent and solid tuck. The day's youngest competitor, Ilan Aarons took out third.<br/>

Rob has been a quiet achiever for a while, but now he looks set to make his mark. He's a gifted all-round skater possessed of an effortless style, and with a new-found determination to dominate the downhill scene.<br/><br/>We caught up with Rob at his pad in the heart of Bomb Squad territory.<h3>Enough of that mountain air there Rob, this plane is set for arrival...</h3>
<br />
<b>1. What's your name, your nickname, your hometown and your age?</b><br />
<br />
Robert J McWhinnie aka Stinky, born and bred in Bathurst. I’m 23 years young, been in Sydney for the last 5 years.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Your occupation?</b><br />
<br />
Full time chef, I love cooking, its one of my major passions in life; creating, cooking, eating and just enjoying a meal with the people that matter most. It started as necessity, like most cuisine. I needed to cook for myself when parents would go on holiday and I just took the first job opportunity away from home once 18.<div style="float: right;margin: 1.5em 0em 1.5em 1.5em;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220436064?profile=original" alt=" "/><br/><center><b>Smashing down Keira</b></center>
</div>
<br />
I used to stand for days chopping and whisking in the kitchen getting sore legs and feet, now I work on leg strength, practicing my tuck stance while behind the kitchen bench for hours on end still chopping and cooking. I have a great boss at the moment who has supported me in the past and is providing me with some new NJKs for the race, I guess he wants me back in one piece.<br />
<br />
<b>3. How long have you been riding for, and do you skate other styles?</b><br />
<br />
I have been skating for an easy 15 years. Started on a street board riding in Bathurst through the city, in the schools and uni looking for stairs and gaps, then some older guys built a wooden skate park at the local PCYC, big-up to Stackers and the guys who put their own money in so that I had some where to learn.<br />
<br />
Once I moved to Sydney I got in touch with Fitz; I had been great mates with his little bro. Fitz threw me in the deep end when we did a mission to Katoomba at night and rode the main street and onwards, Fitz was riding a 42-inch with Fly Wheels and I was on my street board. Listening to the bearings scream at me that night as I held tuck in the dark following another nutter down was the beginning of my downhill journey.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What do your parents say about your skating?</b><br />
<br />
My parents/santa gave me my first board so they had to accept the responsibility for the outcomes. I was once banned for a year from skating by them, after a costly broken arm Jim and Bern didn’t want any more accidents. In that time I won regional and city comps in under 18’s and Opens from Bathurst to Orange and out to Mudgee and Parks, using fake names when entering comps. It’s now completely different and has been for a while, skating has been such a huge part of life for so long and is always changing so they like to be kept updated, though the stacks are left out of any stories I may tell them.<br />
<br />
<b>5. What's the gnarliest road you've ridden?</b><br />
<br />
If you know Gnar Park on Broadway, and have ridden on a Thursday night with the Bomb Squad then you know what gnarly is; it's a roof-top start with blacked out first-level down-ramp, it quickly gets the heart racing, each down-ramp has a different obstacle, either boom gates to pendy under or speed humps to early grab over but that's just for fun; the gnar explodes when the first express 3 level up-ramp comes on course, quickly followed by the 5 level express up-ramp, single lane surrounded by concrete and iron bars, damn I learned how to slide in a straight line quickly.<br />
<br />
But on the other hand I have never ridden a mountain like 7 Pins until lately either; it really makes everything else look like a warm-up roll. Jacko, B-rad, Gabe, Benbro and I had blistering runs a month ago coming out of hairpins accelerating up to 70 odd in to the next epic hairpin followed by rollercoaster ride in and out of the forest down the valley.<br />
<br />
Two completely different runs but the same board and the same rush and both the highest Gnar factor.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;margin: 1.5em 0em 1.5em 0em;"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220438124?profile=original" alt=""/><br/><b>Rolling with Jacko, searching for some draft</b></div>
<b>6. What's your plan of attack for Newton's?</b><br />
<br />
To go fast and win! Newton's is the rare chance to ride and meet the best of the best, to learn and talk and to push yourself as far as your ever been. I plan to make the most of the practice sessions as possible, feeling comfortable with the riders around you either racing or free riding is very important. I want to know who's going to stack, who's doing stand-up slides in to Forest Elbow, and where I can ride in between before the racing begins. It's also a chance to free-ride and help push the Sydney DH Crew faster.<br />
<br />
<b>7. You grew up in Bathurst - will the McWhinnie clan be there to see you race?</b><br />
<br />
For sure, they know it's a big thing and they can see some amazing riding all day. My wife Magalita will be staying in camp with us all, having a great time meeting the guys I ride with and supporting me on the race track. Maga is skipping her Uni Graduation ceremony to get to Newton's, so it means a lot to me and is very important she’s there.<br />
<br />
<b>8. You raced last year at Newton's and then watched your rivals get good results in Europe and the US. Do you plan to race overseas?</b><br />
<br />
Yes, I plan to get to Europe next year, I want to race/free ride as part of the leading Australian crew overseas. Showing the rest of the world what I'm capable of and creating great memories of riding epic roads with good mates.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220441372?profile=original" alt="Peruvian Road" style="float: right;margin: 1.5em 0em 1.5em 1.5em;"/>I will be travelling to South America for my second wedding and one major skate trip to Ollaytaytambo and Ticlio, both mountains over 4,000 meters high and take 3-4 hours to descend on boards. It's going to be very unique, riding with the best in Peru and Chile; the DHORDIE (Peru) team showed me around earlier this year, the major hills were unrideable due to land slides and river crossings but late night city sessions rocked.<br />
<br />
Watching Jacko via ASRA ride overseas this year and last has kept me pushing my limits knowing that it is possible to get to the top of your game and still go faster, plus if he’s going hard over there racing we can't be left in the dust when he gets back, so I dreamed of racing at Graveyard and Italy and would ride Kiera and Hawks the next day as if I was there.<br />
<br />
<b>9. What do you think the race scene will be like in five years time?</b><br />
<br />
Gabe will be flying the Australian flag high on the world cup podium, the No. 1 Grom is going so hard and learning so much and has just been picked up by Hopkin Racing team; he’s going to be all over this sport in five years.<br />
<br />
It's only a matter of time before the Asian downhill scene bursts open and we have an Australasian competition and a new competitor on the World Series. I think that the media will get a hold of the sport soon and we will see sports channels covering events; it will provide advertising and funding and hopefully make the races bigger and better.<br />
<br />
<b>10. What's your ultimate skate ambition?</b><br />
<br />
100km/h stand up slides,<br />
naa, a world cup podium finish,<br />
naa, paid to skate with my mates on the raddest hills around the world with my wife in the follow car and an esky of beers in the back.<br />
<br />
<b>11. Any sponsors you feel like mentioning?</b><br />
<br />
It took 15 years to get a sponsor so when Jacko brought the news that there was a spot on Hopkins Race Team for me I was stoked, the Hop Shop has been supporting Sydney riders and Australian's overseas and will open some amazing opportunities in the future; thanks Hop, Jacko and Robbo at the Hop Shop from me, Gabe and Luca. I'm gonna shred some gnar like you won’t believe.<br />
<br />
Thanks to The Golden Sheaf Bistro in Double Bay for all the great burgers, oh and the new NJK's; Chris Stockdale you’re a Champion, I never thought I’d get new leathers and have always wondered how fast you can go in them. Thanks again mate, you believe in me and have gone out of your way to help me out, won’t forget it, TRY THE BURGER!!!<br />
<br />
Thanks to ASRA and Sydney City Bomb Squad, all the riders that I roll with, your encouragement and support mean the most of all.<br />
<br />
See you at the Newton's,<br />
Robert McWhinnie<br />

<h3>Everything you say will be used against you in a court of law...</h3>
<br />
<b>1. What's your name, your nickname, your hometown and your age?</b><br />
<img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220435592?profile=original" alt="Ching" style="float: right;margin:1.5em 0em 1.5em 1.5em;"/><br />
Name: Ching-Ling, Ho<br />
Nicknames: Ching, Ching-AH! Alco-ho,<br />
Age: 21<br />
Hometown: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<br />
<br />
<b>2. Your occupation?</b><br />
<br />
Full-time student at Melbourne Uni.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Melbourne's flat. Where do you ride?</b><br />
<br />
That's a secret!! I'm sure you'd understand :) It is pretty hard to find good places to ride downhill since the scene just started to grow this year as far as I know. So it's pretty much up to us to find good places to ride. Most of us are still students so we rely on public transport to bring us around which makes it even harder. It's tough being a downhill skater in Melbourne :)<br />
<br />
<b>4. How long have you been riding for, and do you skate other styles?</b><br />
<br />
I've been riding about a year and a half. Started out with just commuting to school. Tried doing that whole dancing thing but it wasn't my thing. I do a lot of carpark skating and that was what really drove me into downhill. The need for speed!<br />
<br />
<b>5. What do your parents say about your skating?</b><br />
<br />
They never really approved of it even as a kid with my little skateboard. Ever since my wrist injury last year they've taken a more "Don't ask don't tell" approach to it.<br />
<br />
<b>6. What's the gnarliest road you've ridden?</b><br />
<br />
Haha not a lot of gnarly roads in Melbourne. But I'd have to say Inverness Road. It was my first time going downhill and I had some soft bushings on. Perfect setup considering the road has an average gradient of 10-15%. I was falling all over the place. Haven't been back there yet though hopefully it's not as gnarly as I remembered.<br />
<img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220440900?profile=original" alt="" style="float: right;margin:1.5em 0em 1.5em 1.5em;"/><br />
<b>7. You'll probably have less experience than most other riders at Newtons. What's your plan of attack?</b><br />
<br />
You know, I haven't really thought about it until you asked. I'll definitely be surprised if I kept up with the top riders out there but I'll do my best. My aim really is to just finish the course in one piece :)<br />
<br />
<b>8. What do you think the race scene will be like in five years time?</b><br />
<br />
It's definitely will have grown a lot more (if that's even possible!). There are so many kids picking up downhill skating and a lot of new talent emerging. Definitely expect to see a lot more people starting to race. Hopefully more girls will pick it up too!<br />
<br />
<b>9. What's your ultimate skate ambition?</b><br />
<br />
To win Newtons!!! Haha but in all seriousness, one of my skating ambitions is definitely to get the Melbourne and Malaysian downhill scene growing. Hopefully hold some races there. Malaysia has so many good ride-able hills it'd be such a waste to just let the cars on them.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Any sponsors you feel like mentioning?</b><br />
<br />
I would like to thank myself and my hard earned money working behind a counter selling cookies. And my parents for sending me to study here (otherwise I would never have picked up longboarding!).<br />

Nick "Duff" Duffield, hometown Adelaide, Australia, 26 years young.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Your occupation?</b><br />
<br />
Crane operator.<br />
<br />
<b>3. How long have you been luging for? Do you also do it standing up?</b><br />
<br />
Started riding street luge in 1998 and my first race was the Australian X-Games in Brisbane in 99. The last few months I've been trying my hand at stand-up with the ever expanding SA crew which has been a blast!<br />
<br />
<b>4. What do your parents say about your luging?</b><br />
<br />
Well not much these days but back when I first started they were a bit hesitant, but once they realised it was more than just mucking around with a skateboard on the weekends they were very supportive, and still are.<br />
<br />
<b>5. What's the gnarliest road you've ridden?</b><br />
<br />
Without a doubt it would have to be the Red Bull Down Rio comp that was held in Brazil from the 'Christo' statue carpark. It was 2,300 feet above sea level and from memory it was 22 180deg hairpins one after the other, even by the end of the weekend I don't think anyone was able to memorize that track! A close second would have to be a "classified" piece of tarmac that we nudged 140km/h on. That was definitely a rush I'll never forget.<br />
<br />
<b>6. What's your plan of attack for Newton's?</b><br />
<div style="float:right;margin:1em 0 1.5em 1em"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220437343?profile=original" alt="Nick at Newton's '08" style="float: right;"/><br/><center><b>Nick at Newton's '08</b></center>
</div>
The main thing I want to do this year is have as much fun as possible and make the most of the weekend. It's going to be a huge step up from last year with everyone progressing so much in the last 18 months so I'll just do my best!<br />
<br />
<b>7. You won Newton's last year against a top field. What's stopping you from heading overseas and winning everywhere?</b><br />
<br />
I'd love to head overseas again in the future, so if I could get some backing to do it I'd be there for sure. Who knows what the next 1 or 2 years holds; I may get over there again, we'll see what happens.<br />
<br />
<b>8. What do you think the race scene will be like in five years time?</b><br />
<br />
If the last few years is anything to go by I think in five years time downhill racing will definitely be here to stay. We'll hopefully have a couple of Oz world champions amongst us and a handful of guys and girls rippin it up overseas.<br />
<br />
<b>9. What's your ultimate luge/skate ambition?</b><br />
<br />
My main ambition would be to see the sport of gravity racing get the recognition it deserves and hopefully one day have an Australian series running through each state. Being able to race in Australia every few months would be the ultimate.<br />

<br />
<h3>OK Leigh, lie down on the couch. This won't hurt a bit...</h3>
<br />
<b>1. What's your name, your nickname, your hometown and your age?</b><br />
<br />
Leigh Griffiths 21 - Adelaide, South Australia<br />
<br />
<b>2. Your occupation?</b><br />
<br />
Green Grocer for consistent cash flow, but filmmaking is my passion.<br />
<br />
<b>3. How long have you been riding for, and do you skate other styles?</b><br />
<br />
I bought my first longboard in mid 2007 after seeing some videos of insane dudes flying down mountainous roads on youtube. Even though I'd only had about 15mins experience on a skateboard throughout my entire life, I knew I was going to somehow try and do the things I saw in those videos.<br />
<br />
<b>4. What do your parents say about your skating?</b><br />
<br />
Well in the early days they thought it was just a late teen phase that I'd found cos life was generally a bit dull and slow first year out of school, but they soon saw it was a growing passion and now Dad can't wait to watch me race at Newtons this year.<br />
<br />
<b>5. What's the gnarliest road you've ridden?</b><br />
<a class="noborder" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220439439?profile=original" target="_blank"><img width="350" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2220439439?profile=RESIZE_480x480" alt="" width="350" height="249" style="float:right;margin:1em 0 1em 1em;"/></a><br />
The gnarliest was a new road we were testing in the hills of Adelaide. Everything about the run looked perfect, but halfway down as I was entering the fastest part of the hill I decided the surface was definitely not as good as it looked from the car. Unfortunately for me, it was too late to stop and the quickly approaching corner was looking less and less do-able. But I sketchily railed the corner and was able to slow myself down before I was able to kill myself.<br />
...oh and Black Mountain in Canberra definitely gets a mention.<br />
<br />
<b>6. What's the best thing about the Adelaide scene?</b><br />
<br />
The best thing about our scene is the number of GOOD runs there are and how close they are all to the city. So instead of spending a day at one spot, we are able to session at least 3 or 4 long runs all day and we don't even have to waste time at the petrol station. We are also one of the driest cities in the world which of course means very little rain riding through the year. However that was not apparent this year.<br />
<br />
<b>7. What's your plan of attack for Newton's?</b><br />
<br />
Well being my first IGSA race, its all going to be about getting as much experience and track time as I can. I am planning to follow the world tour next year, so need all the race training I can get. I also want to try and have as much fun as I can too.<br />
<br />
<b>8. What do you think the race scene will be like in five years time?</b><br />
<br />
Well if it continues to grow the way it's grown in the last two years, it should be huge. Unfortunately it's hard to get races and events up and running because of various implications, so unless something drastically changes it will take a while before Speedboarding is recognised as a proper competitive athletic sport by the general public. We just need more exposure through mediums other than the internet. The web has fueled the main growth of the longboarding community for as long as I've been a part of it and it hasn't yet reached the TV audiences. If that happens I think the whole "underground" status of the activity and sport will definitely change for the better.<br />
<br />
<b>9. What's your ultimate skating ambition?</b><br />
<br />
Well at this stage of the game my ambition is to simply enjoy the whole culture of Downhill Skateboarding. Meeting new people, exploring new places, experiencing new things and learning more about myself. Skating is just a byproduct of all that, but obviously my drive to become better at riding only flares my competitive streak.<br />
<br />
<b>10. Any sponsors you feel like mentioning?</b><br />
<br />
No sponsorship deals as of yet, however I'd like to thank Hopkin Racing for the opportunities I've gained from dealing with them. Buy with Hopkin kids, they are the shiznit.<br />

<b>3. How long have you been riding for, and do you skate other styles?</b><br/>
<br/>
Started rolling around on a popsicle stick about two years ago, didn't float my boat so I started longboarding. Got into downhill early this year and I've been hooked ever since. I'll still have a little rip around the skatepark sometimes, and I managed to land my first ollie the other day, but it's mainly longboarding.<br/>
<br/>
<b>4. What do your parents say about your skating?</b><br/>
<br/>
Well, I wouldn't say they like the idea of their son skating down mountains, but they're supportive nonetheless.<br/>
<br/>
<b>5. What's the gnarliest road you've ridden?</b><br/>
<br/>
7-Pins, that hill is the definition of gnar.<br/>
<br/>
<b>6. What's your plan of attack for Newton's?</b><br/>
<br/>
Bomb it hard, then get the bus back up and bomb it hard again.<br/>
<br/>
<b>7. What do you think the race scene will be like in five years time?</b><br/>
<br/>
Trying to think of a word to describe it. I'm thinking a mix of Gnar, Insane and Steezin'. Gnarinsteezin?<br/>
<br/>
<b>8. What's your ultimate skating ambition?</b><br/>
<br/>
To skate on the moon.<br/>
<br/>
<b>9. Who's been the biggest influence on your riding?</b><br/>
<br/>
Jackbro, Benbro, Robbo, Luca, Rob, Bugs, Guff, and all the SCBS and ASRA boys.<br/>
<br/>
All the guys who took me to sessions, lent me gear when I needed it, pushed my limits and were just rad blokes in general, cheers for everything boys, skate or die.<br/>
<br/>
<b>10. Any sponsors you feel like mentioning?</b><br/>
<br/>
The boys at Hopkin Skate, in St. Leonards, have been absolute legends, thanks guys.<br/>

<br />
The final race of the 2009 Conehead Cup lacked the drama of the 2008 final. Last year was a shootout between Jackson Shapiera and Steve Daddow, but this year the top two had been decided in advance, with Jackson 1st and Steve 2nd. The rescheduling of the race from two weeks ago due to rain also produced a smaller than usual turnout.<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2118357652?profile=original"/><br/>Jackson looks on as Paul Price clips a cone</p>
<br />
But what the race lacked in drama it made up for with an especially cruisy and relaxed atmosphere. With perfect weather and a beautifully scenic location, racers were able to focus on skating the best slalom hill of the series.<br />
<br />
Aside from the winner's circle there were two standouts on the day; Scott "Guff" Guthrie who continued his recent emergence with a best-ever sixth place, and Gabe Antonio who in his first-ever attempt at slalom amazed everybody by charging into the course with power and speed on every run. Despite DQ'ing every run he seems destined for good results by the time 2010 comes around.<br />

Rival Steve Daddow had a tough weekend with two fourth places and two bad slams, while B-rad Pearson finally put his all-round skating ability into effect with a sixth placing at Stromlo and a second at Ainslie.<br/><br/>With four wins and two second places in his six races, Jackson has built an unassailable lead in this years points race. Wih just one race left this year, there is nothing his rivals can do to catch him. Second place is also locked up, with Steve Daddow well clear of the rest, but third place is a four-way fight between Haggy Strom, Nathan Paff, Paul Shaddock and B-rad Pearson, to be decided at <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/events/conehead-cup-round-5-blue">Pump Station on October 4</a>.
<br />
<br />
<b>Stromlo Dual-slalom</b><br />
<br />
Thirty-seven skaters from Adelaide, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, the NSW Central Coast, Sydney and Canberra took on the Stromlo course on Saturday. The morning's practice session was filled with confusion as people struggled to unlock the mysteries of the "gate" in the course, but most had it worked out by the time racing began.<br />
<br />
The early rounds had no surprises, except for the march of B-rad, who took out Dave Robertson, Brad Sterritt and Colin Beck before finally becoming overmatched against Steve Daddow.<br />
<br />
Nathan Paff and Paul "Shadow" Shaddock resumed their rivalry, with Nathan's narrow win putting himself into a matchup with Jackson for the right to a second-chance run in the final, and sending Shadow into a sudden-death race against Steve Daddow. Shadow beat Daddow for the first time ever, while Jackson's win over Nathan consigned Nathan to a rematch with Shadow for the right to race against Jackson in the final. Nathan beat Shadow a second time, and then had the daunting prospect of having to beat a relatively fresh Jackson twice to win.<br />
<br />
A tired Nathan threw everything he had into the final but fell just 0.24 second short, with Jackson taking out the race undefeated. Shadow was third, Daddow fourth, and the ever-consistent Paul Carey getting<br />
his best result of the year with fifth.<br />
<br />
Special mention for slalom newbies Scott Taylor (22nd) and Owen Davies (25th) who looked at home in their first race, and for Joel Blackall who was unlucky not to break into the top 32, from where he would have likely met up with fellow junior <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/group/naccoss">NACCOID</a> Imi McMillan.<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align:left"><img width="737" height="490" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2118349771?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/></p>
<br />
<b>Ainslie Ditch</b><br />
<br />
Sunday morning saw some tired heads assemble at the infamous Ainslie Ditch. Just as on the day before it was thirty-seven riders who were willing to take on the teeth of doom, in a jam-format race with every rider getting six timed runs.<br />
<br />
Glenn "Ditch Master" Mills seemed intense and focussed, while fellow ditch-master B-rad pronounced the course "too easy", despite nearly everybody else struggling to negotiate the final four cones where accumulated speed met a sudden tightening of the cone spacing.<br />
<br />
Shadow took the early lead, but soon it was Glenn Mills, B-rad and Jackson who filled the top three spots. The headwind picked up throughout the day, but it didn't stop people posting faster times as they began to feel out the course. Jackson led by 0.5 second at the end of the third run, and the race was still open, but Jackson's fourth run shaved another 0.5 second off to give him a comfortable lead, and then his fifth run shaved a further 0.5 second off, leaving everybody far behind. B-rad kept improving his times, overcoming Glen Mills to gain second, while Steve Daddow suffered a nasty slam in a desperate attempt to crack into the top three, failing by just 0.004 second.<br />
<br />
There was another episode in the Alex vs Blackwood show, with Blackwood's final run cutting two seconds off his best time to beat Alex and sneak into 10th place. Ben Hay produced some smooth runs to get 6th place, and Canberrans Henry King and Owen Davies produced some fearless attacking runs. Phil Bond had the worst slam, closely followed by Steve Daddow and Neil Willington.<br />

Some very sad news; on Friday night, Anton (Anthony Fricker, AKA <a href="http://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/SkateAustraliaFilm">Skate Australia</a>) was skating on the Gold Coast and had a tragic accident.<br/><br/>At the bottom of a run he came off his board and fell. His head took the full force, knocking him out. Emergency services were immediately called and Anton was rushed to hospital. He is currently on life support, while his family and friends say goodbye. It is expected that life support will be removed in the next few days. A funeral service and memorial will be announced.<br/><br/>Anton was wearing a helmet. This is a tragic accident. ASRA asks its members to refrain from posting speculation or unecessary questions regarding this accident. A sudden death stirs up a lot of emotion. His family acknowledges how important ASRA and longboarding were to his life. We encourage you to post up your memories and stories about Anton. We would like this to be a tribute and celebration of Anton's life, that it may help with the grieving process. He has been a big part of ASRA over the last 12 months; a creative force that inspired and motivated many of us.

Steve Daddow won his first Conehead Cup race of 2009, remaining undefeated throughout the day and striking back at his main rival Jackson Shapiera who had to settle for second. Nathan Paff took third by edging out Haggy Strom by 0.03 of a second.<br />
<br />
This was Melbourne's first time hosting the Conehead Cup, and the classic Melbourne winter weather; cold, wet and windy, was appreciated by all. The morning produced loads of frustration; the racers were unable to practice with any intensity due to the wet road and the organisers struggled with a new and temperamental timing system.<br />
<br />
But the road dried, the timing system got sorted out, and the qualifiers began. The course played some tricks, with a "gimme" cone, followed by two tight, fast curves that tested people's ability to stay on line.<br />
<br />
Steve Daddow was Mr Consistent all day. He beat Jackson in the final of the winner's bracket, and had to race him again in the Grand Final where Jackson succumbed to the pressure by DQ'ing and handing the win to Steve.<br />
<br />
Outside of the winning group, there were lots of standout performers. Johnny McGrath started the day fast and then got even faster with every run, coming in eighth in his first ever Conehead Cup. Brad Sterritt ran fast all day, but it was Imi McMillan who took out the "Best Performer" award for the consistent improvement she's shown over the last year. Bernie Griffiths took home a trophy of a blood-stained cone for the "Best Slam" award, although Sean Mussett would have been an equally worthy winner for his high-speed high-side.<br />

The cream of Australia's downhill skateboard and luge riders gathered in the tropical heat of Townsville for a weekend of thrashing themselves on the steep and winding Mt Stuart road, located on the edge of town.<br />
For the most part there was no competition; this was a charity freeride to raise money for prostate cancer; the "bastard" that has to be beaten.<br />
<br />
And beatings were the order of the weekend as all riders took some hits on a road that challenged everybody. It started with a high-speed section leading into a right-hander with shiny new Armco just waiting to tear up bodies. It then transitioned into a mellow section that lead into a tight left-hander, a short steep straight and then another shiny Armco-ed right-hander. From there it stayed steep and the corners kept coming; a double-apex right-hander, a gentle left, then a harder left immediately followed by a massive high-speed sweeping right hander that spat riders out at maximum speed into a short straight and the final deceptively difficult left-hander.<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align:center"><img width="737" height="491" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2079086001?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024"/><br/>Austin turns to look at Leigh and Jeremy in the hay bales</p>
<br />
Considering the difficulty of the hill the carnage was minimal. Late on the final day the ambulance had to be called for Pete Hill who dislocated his shoulder, but otherwise the damage was limited to the usual road rash and other aches and pains.<br />
<br />
The standout feature of the weekend was the generous spirit and atmosphere that prevailed. Riders ranged in age from 16 to 49 but were united by the challenge in front of them.<br />

<br />
Although the weekend was billed as a freeride a Super Giant Slalom race was held on Sunday morning as part of the 2009 Conehead Cup. Nothing like this had ever been done before in Australia - an 800 metre-long slalom raced at speeds over 60km/h with downhill boards and wearing leathers and full-face helmets. The course required a loose, turny setup for the first 200 metres, but as the speed built towards the end a more stable setup was needed to deal with a course that had become more similar to a genuine downhill run, with hands-down turns and tucks featuring.<br />

<br />
Kincumber ditch is notorious for being wet at just the hint of rain, yet was miraculously dry on Saturday after a solid week's rain. A field of 23 riders took on the challenge, with Switzerland's Ramón Königshausen setting the early pace by using a slalom board and slalom-style pump to create speed at the beginning of the course.<br />
<br />
Jackson Shapiera was close behind but was unable to bridge the gap until his fifth run when he finally took the lead, only see to Ramón immediately take it back with his sixth and final run. Jackson then borrowed Ramón's board for his final run and pipped the Swiss star by 0.07 seconds to ensure victory.<br />
<br />
The ever-stylish stylish Brad Pearson from Newcastle took third and David "Carnie" Blackwood catapulted himself into 4th place with his last run by cutting 1.2 seconds off his previous best.<br />
<br />

<br />
Jackson and Ramón swapped places on Sunday's head-to head slalom at Sidonia, as Jackson DQ'ed in the second leg of the final trying to catch Ramón's lightning start. Ramón was powering at full speed after Jackson had given him a scare by narrowly beating him in the first leg of the final.<br />
<br />
Other highlights was the growing rivalry between Nathan Paff and Paul Shadock, and the return of the Steve Daddow and Haggy Strom rivalry. Brad Pearson found his slalom feet (and voice) and could be a contender over the next 12 months. Mick Codner was also welcomed back to racing after his injury in January.<br />

Jackson Shapiera edged out Dennis Westphal in a thrilling final to become downhill skateboarding's Master of the Hill. Dave Kelly took out the Luge, while in Classic Luge Adam Sparks had to come from behind to overtake Brad Sterritt.<br />
<br />
The skateboarding final was a classic. Jackson and Dennis raced the entire course side-by-side, neither able to pull in front of the other. The racer with the inside line on the corner would pull marginally ahead, only to lose the advantage on the next corner. They crossed the finish line side-by-side and nobody could pick the winner until the slow-mo video replay showed Jackson in front by centimetres.<br />
<br />
That wasn't the first race to be decided by the video replay, and there was close racing on all parts of the track. The lugers in particular had a lot of elbow-to-elbow racing.<br />

<b>Credits</b><br />
<br />
* A massive amount of credit goes to Dave Robertson who was the driving force behind this event. He spent an unbelievable amount of time planning and preparing for it, and the fact that the event ran so smoothly is due to his efforts.<br />
* Haggy Strom and Hayley for running the start-line with great efficiency. You guys worked hard all day and all you ever saw of the racing was the racers disappearing out of view.<br />
* Gareth Fitzgerald for taking over finish line duties from Dave Robertson for the second half of the race, and for creating the ASRA toilet - just sit on it and go!<br />
* John Fox for helping out in lots of little ways.<br />
* Jess Arroyo for being my 2IC on the day (and Lea Robertson for replacing her late in the day).<br />
* Scott Guthrie and Mountain Mick (and Dave Kelly) for helping to set up the hay bales and haul gear around.<br />
* Ben Hay and Paul Carey for returning the hay bales - you guys really saved the day!<br />
* Everybody else I've forgotten - the day was a bit of a blur really.<br />
* Sponsors: <a href="http://www.hopkin.com.au/">Hopkin Racing</a>, <a href="http://www.cre8ivesk8.com/">Cr8ive Sk8</a>, High Roller, and <a href="http://www.fsuskate.com/">FSU</a> for donating boards to help Mountain Mick.<br />

<b>Get well Mountain Mick!</b>Rant: On Gravitytag:www.skateboardracing.org.au,2009-01-12:2144162:BlogPost:278922009-01-12T00:48:12.000ZBugshttp://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/bugs

<i>The following is my own personal rant. Fire away!</i><br />
<br />
Why do people use the terms "gravity" and "gravity sports"? All sports rely on gravity, so using "gravity" to define your sport is completely meaningless. Golf requires gravity. Football requires gravity. Swimming requires gravity.<br />
<br />
What does the average person think when they hear "gravity sports"? I have no idea, but I bet it's not racing skateboards or luges (or billycarts or anything…

<br />
"Downhill" is a better word than "gravity" to get the meaning across, but it's both too broad and too limited. "Downhill" covers downhill mountain-biking but not skate-park slalom. It covers skiing, but not push races like the Broadway Bomb/Cannonball Run.<br />
<br />
"Gravity racing" also implies that the racer is a passive blob while all the work is done by the star of the show - <i>gravity</i>. The star should always be the racer, and their skill, agility, athleticism and balance. Gravity is boring, invisible and completely taken for granted - why give it star billing?<br />
<br />
I think the core feature of our sport (at least the core of the organisational aspect of it) is <i>racing</i>, not gravity. More "R", less "G".PC crowned King of the Konestag:www.skateboardracing.org.au,2008-11-16:2144162:BlogPost:174962008-11-16T09:30:00.000ZBugshttp://www.skateboardracing.org.au/profile/bugs
