Newton's Calls for Volunteers
The only thing better than smashing into a hay wall at 100km/h is watching it happen from 3 feet away. Without our volunteers events like this just would not happen. ASRA is calling out for volunteers to help make the action happen.
All Volunteers will be given VIP 3 day festival passes to the event and free camping accreditation. You will of course get a very warm fuzzy feeling by helping the guys at ASRA who are full-time volunteers help the Australian skateboard racing scene.
Whats ASRA needs:
Track marshals - to pick up the pieces when it all come unstuck
• Assisting the Discipline Stewards
• Report any rules infractions
• Use designated flags when necessary to signal riders of accidents, debris or other hazards
• Radio communication with stewards
• Removal of any debris and repair of haybale walls
• Track maintenance
• Assisting Starter and Finish Steward
• On-track commuting
Event staff - The run our check-in, manage communications and organise our riders on the hill
Required - Background or interest in event management and ability to yell at skateboarders with clear direction
• Assisting rider registration and check-in
• Handling accreditation
• Answering rider on-track inquiries
• Assisting the Chief scorer
• Assisting information dissemination
Video Crew - To film the live track video
Helpful but not essential - Background or experience in video production
• Cameraman
• Video switching
• technical crew
• Audio
Random people - to do all sorts or weird and wacky tasks all over the mountain
Required - ability to do everything and anything and do it quickly
What ASRA requires:
Newton's Nation is a 3 day festival so as a volunteer you will be required to be at the mountain on Thursday 25th for an induction and ready to go at 7am on Friday the 26th November. So call in your sick leave, reschedule you UNI exams or simply tell your boss to get stuffed cause your heading to the mountain for the last week in November to be involved in the biggest downhill and music event of the year.
If your interested in volunteering at Newton's Nation IGSA World Cup than register your details via the Newton's Volunteer page

Hey guys, just wondering when you let volunteers know if they have a job or not? Andrew Armitage signed up and he is available for the 3 days doing anything you need him for. Cheers :P

I’m not sure if I put the right email in with my submission, was I suppose to receive some sort of acknowledgement email? Or is there a way to check on its status? Im really keen to come along and help out.
