It is the World Championships at Newton's Playground this year. Late November a new IGSA World Champion will be crowned. Ladies, here is your chance to be a World Champiion. All you have to do is win one race ... and maybe place in a heat or qualifier.
Hopkin Racing wants to find a woman to represent Australia at Newtons Playground. Put Australia on the map. It is us against them. Your country needs you. I do not think many women are reading these pages, so I also need everyone on this website to be on the look out for a skater chick. How perfect is that - this is your chance to legitimately go up to, introduce yourself and talk to that awesome skater girl at your local skatepark. No excuses - DO IT.
Here's the deal.
Standup only. Sorry no luge or inline, bikes etc.
They have to be Australian or have Australian citizenship and skate as an Australian. At the end of the day, that is what it is all about.
The lady needs to be minimum 16 years old. If she is 16, I need to speak to her parents.
Ideally she is 18 or older. No age limit.
She has to have been skateboarding for at least 4 years. Less if she is gifted. I really want someone that has grown up on a skateboard. It does not matter if she has never been on a longboard, if she can hold her own at the skatepark with the boys, I'm interested.
I need this person to train to race on Mount Panorama. Scary but true. Not that hard, if they are good on a skateboard, but they will need to have no fear.
She will need to be able to join a crew or be part of a group that skates regularly. Ideally once a week.
What does she get?
Full race setup. A starter board to see if likes the sport. This can be upgraded to a better board later. I will endeavour to upgrade all her gear, trucks, wheels, bearings etc. She gets a generic set of leathers. If she races at Newton's she gets a set of njs leathers. Full race set up includes safety gear, gloves helmet.
I know what you are thinking. I'll get my girlfriend to apply and I'll get the gear when she quits. Think again. I am not handing out race gear to everyone. I will pick one person. Actually I do not think I will find anyone so please, ladies, prove me wrong.
Finders fee? If someone on asra finds me a suitable person to sponsor, and they are not related or in a relationship. They get rewarded. I have not decide on what that is but I will be very happy to find someone to competitively represent ASRA and Australia. The reward could easily be a dream setup.
So there it is.
An Australian woman to skate down Mt Panorama. Does such a person exist?
