Event Description

Note: The Event results are here!

It's a long wait between Race 1 and Race 2, but this should make up for it. We're looking at a fast single-lane hybrid-slalom jam session, and the location is spectacular. A gently winding road from the headland at Long Reef down to the car park, with the ocean on one side and a golf course on the other.

This will be Saturday night racing under lights, by the sea-shore!

For those unable to check out the venue in advance, bring your softer wheels as the road surface is not hot-mix. But don't worry - it's perfectly consistent and has good grip.

On a cloudy day it looks like this:

Comment by Rob Wolven on September 11, 2008 at 21:06: I might turn up early and have a look about, Only been on a board a few months and wouldn't mind just giving this a go!

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 11, 2008 at 15:27: I know, you only ride for the stoke, but I just collected all the schwag and put it in a pile, and some lucky folks are gonna be going home with it - trucks (Skandals and Trackers), wheels (Seismic and Loaded), a Pavel slalom deck, and more. There will be prizes in each division:

* A
* B
* Under 18s
* Womens

There will also be about 10 loaner boards available for people to try on the night.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 10, 2008 at 15:52: There will be two courses - they've both been set and are ready to go.

A course
36 cones, with the tighest sections at 7.5' centre-to-centre, and a variety of wider spaced offsets. It's fast! Anybody who's competed in any of the slalom races over the last 2 years should have no difficulty running this course.

B course
25 cones, with the tightest sections at 10' centre-to-centre, and some looser offsets. For longboards and slalom newbies.

The weather forecast is sunny and 25 deg for Saturday. It's on!

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 9, 2008 at 19:18: Just confirmed - Steve Daddow is flying down from the Gold Coast and will be racing!

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 9, 2008 at 18:40: There'll probably be a few loaner boards for people to try on the night.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on September 9, 2008 at 14:31: Latest news:

* If setup time allows there will be two separate courses; an A course (faster, and with cones more closely spaced) and a B course (slower and more space between the cones).

* Due to council regulations, this is a "no-alcohol" event. (But there will be an after-party...)
