Live - Newton's Nation 2012

OK folks, we're back after just a three-day break. The ASRA team has landed in Bathurst, and despite advance warnings of how cold it is we've still been surprised - it's brutally cold. My first task here was to buy some fingerless gloves and a very attractive hat:

Once suitably warmed we got settled into our luxury digs before heading out for some twilight mini-ramp action at the festival site. It's a 6' ramp, so more of a maxi-mini really, and it took its toll with Trav and Haggy taking some hard slams.

A blurry Trav heads for the coping, while Haggy, Blackwood, Pete and the Van of Love look on

Yes, it was cold up there. Bring your woolies. See you tomorrow. Rider check-in starts at midday at the Flannery Skillset Centre.

Practice starts at 8. Skate finals at about 9, and luge probably around 10, and then they interleave. All times are approximate.

Bugs,

I may miss the live finals in a few hours - I have to be at work. My best to all the racers. Know I am rooting for my boy! Sounds like you have put on an awesome event! I will catch up later in the evening.

It's strangely warm up here - super bright and sunny. We have a few lugers on the line ready for practice. Every morning it's the same - we have to wait for the medics to get here. The medics!

The view from the ASRA compound this morning

The live video is all set to go, the morning coffees are all lined up, Pete Smith is hooning around in a ute, but Trav has left his astroturf pimp coat behind, so it's almost all perfect.
