i did the exact same thing that run, we came into that corner way too hot, had to chuck the tail out a little bit mid-corner... its a very dangerous corner you really have to watch out for it, thats the one that nearly took blackwood's life (but managed to just take a wheel instead).
This road doesnt seem like much but its not for the beginners... please do not go n skate it untill you are comfortable with your skill level as traffic can just come out of no-where in bursts of 5-10 cars at a time.
We are going to go session the tech side on the road closure, but im just putting out a warning, it is a VERY technical course (on the windy side) and you will shred a set of wheels drifting hard in the one day

How far away is the road closure? I'll need to get familiar with my local Hill bombing areas :D

completly forgot about sliding next to the cars at the top, great day out, cant wait for the road closure, start hitting the apex instead of the tarmac

Fanbloodytastic road no matter which end you start at. Closing the whole road and riding from the Hornsby Heights end through the hairpins and the side you and Rob did, Maybe warming up on the Dural side and then finishing up on the Hornsby Heights end."Suicide Run" gnarly. I Think this definition describes the Hornsby Heights end, "Gnarly is when you've gone beyond radical, beyond extreme, it's balls out danger, & or perfection, & or skill or all of that combined".

ouch. the ones you don't expect hurt the most. nice vid though. thats an awesome run.
that first corner with all the cars is pretty damn tight. you wouldn't wanna slide out at all.
