ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

WMG chucked their toys out of there pram and got the Muse track banned so it had to be replaced, sorry.....Due to a complete road closure of Cheddar Gorge, which happens a couple of times a year, it was possible to achieve this downhill run. The top section is mellow, but the 1:16 descent through the corkscrew is quite challenging. Here is complete video footage of Andy Wright's downhill run from top to bottom (Rocks and mountain goats have been removed for safety reasons, although there is one in the video-can you see it?).Hope you all enjoy one of Englands finest downhill runs from www.thekeyringcompany.com
Take a look at our website - Cheers

Well cool, though my filming is rubbish and this was much better than I could have ever done; as someone who has driven, hiked and climbed all over the gorge this doesn't do the boys justice.....them good old greasy, poorly laid with strange random camber British roads are character building to say the least. The drop thru the corkscrew is also a lot steeper than it looks here...Almost homesick but; nah bloody wet and cold.

Hi Nick, it was damp and wet when we did the runs in early November, slippery would be a understatement, I was happy to come away with a fractured thumb, dont think i'm good enough to tuck the whole way, speed wise it would have been too fast for me, the board was my own design took ages to drill them holes.

Hi Merrick, Still looking forward to a skate with you guys, glad you liked the video, do you fancy going north one day to the playground to meet up with Aych?
