The 2007 Conehead Cup kicked off in great style with 29 riders from around Australia making it a truly national event.

It was a tough course, with plenty of riders spraying cones everywhere, but Haggy Strom was able to pip Steve Daddow with his last run of the day, despite suffering from the flu.

After the slalom a wild variety of events took place - luge, hill bombing, and the crowd favourite - high jump.

As Chris M noted, our races are starting to look very pro. Not only do we have a timing system, we now have a portable start ramp courtesy of the BTS workshop.

The story of the day was WIND - a howling gale that made some runs blisteringly fast, and others like swimming through molasses. Mick Mulhall offended the slalom gods and went down early - heal up dude!

A tough course was set in anticipation of the steep and gnarly hill at Bangalow, the site of the upcoming National titles. There were a lot of nervous faces after trying to make the big offsets on the fastest part of the course, but in the end just about everybody figured out the line to take, and started running the course clean.

A great day of racing and a fantastic turnout! Special thanks to the Old Skool Team, Force and Lush Longboards for providing prizes, as well as everybody who travelled down from Queensland, and everybody who helped out with cone-marshalling, timing, and anything else.
