ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

OK, it isn't quite live yet, but the ASRA crew plus other volunteers have arrived, and we're busy setting up here at the Scout Camp. Tomorrow we'll be busy with last minute stuff, plus rider check-in which starts at midday.

It's wet, and the forecast is for the rain to continue until Thursday night. After that it should be mostly clear.

There's a lot of wildlife here - possums, deer, bush turkeys, lyrebirds and the most common of all - leeches. This place is seriously crawling with leeches - salt is supposedly the thing to ward them away.

See you all tomorrow at rider check-in.

Phew...it's been a long day, and a long weekend, and it's almost over. The start line is almost empty of people - all the riders and spectators are at the corners and the finish line. The sky is getting super dark and it's getting cold. Just a few nervous riders at the top, pacing around. Furlong originally planned to not run the final of the classic in order to save himself for the street luge, but he's now decided to run both finals.

Inliners on the line now for their final run. Sean Cunningham is unbeatable.

Street Luge consi final on track now.

Really starting to rain now. It's been dry all day, but the final will be a totally different thing...

Open finals: Dalua pushes off into 1st, Switzer tucks in behind....now the wait for the result...

While we're waiting, here's the women's final:

Marisa Nunez (F) 1
Dasha Kornienko (F) 4
Lea Robertson (F) 2
Ishtar Bäcklund (F) 3

Open final - two riders crashed in the first corner.

On the edge of my seat here bugs!
