Ht about the 60kmh mark. Also looking for some leathers. Stayed away from road rash and not really looking to get any soon, so i think leathers will be a good investment. Im also 15.
yeh i am 15 too, only stacked once, on some new hill with rough bitumen, felt like iwas goijng around 50-60. don't like road rash!!!. i did that on my pintail which i bought for $150. hehe shes a beast, but its past its use by date. so i have bought another:)
im 14 and i hit 60 but that was a pretty straight bomb. im trying to look for slower runs with more turns- straight runs aren't as fun and don't really take much skill IMO
Got an update from my last post on this thread I hit mid 80km/h Last weekend on a run about 1.6km not as long but a good comfortable speed , finally went up to my local run about 30 mins away from my house with leathers for the first time and done it from the top.
Yer if they did that would be wicked they have like a category junior lll and that is for 14-16 year olds but if not yer i guess it's the normal speedboard category for all. Even if they had one heat in the opens with under 18's and the top two or so go through to the next heat's against everybody else. Just to ride the course would be an experience for sure.
the quickest and best way to learn is to ride and skate with the best,skatin with the big boys will soon bring u up to their level...go hard groms..,u guys r the future of ozzie downhill.
Hahah umm i think making it through the track still with no broken bones form racing with the open guys would be good enough from a podium finish. Yeah I think Ryan and myself will make an appearance should be a fun weekend even to race on the track for the first time doesn't matter what i come will do me we have plenty more time to catch the other guys next year when we have already raced at newtons and have the experience. And you have to realize it's not only the nutters on ASRA which will be there it's the nutters from around the globe which you could come head to head in on your first heat.
yeh dude,that would be legendary,any ozzy on the podium in any igsa race is awesome,especially a junior,mind u the downhill world is bein lead by fairly young dudes,its not an old dude thing,young guys round the world r freakin fast.
