I'm gonna try and get some kinda giveaway for any support crew on the day. So if anyone has any mates or girlfriends that would be keen to lend a hand(traffic control, start/finish line) Sounds like you mighta needed some "liquid courage" at the worlds.     Rate post 186984 !

On 10/21/2004 haggy wrote in from Australia  (147.10.nnn.nnn) hey dudes, got back from the States on Sunday, back to the rain rain rain... which suits me just fine as I'm cooped up making some bucks to pay off that trip anyways... Morro was super cool, lots of people and fun racing. The super G was pretty cool, fast and a bit hairy on a big hill. I reckon its the fastest i've ever gone standing up on a skateboard and it wasn't even that fast, like 50km/h probably. I did alright in the hybrid and tight slalom, alright meaning I qualified high in the B group but got knocked out in the round of 16 both days. So I know i've got the speed to do alright, but my mental game just wasn't up to par. No racing experience, trying to remember to do 20 things at once instead of just going with the flow. Oh well, it'll only get better. Looking forward to the Outlaw Downhill event. Not sure I'll be racing, need to feel safe first, but I'll definitly be there to help out and hang with everyone. We should do another Slalom event sometime soon as well. But I don't have access to a car now, so gotta get that sorted out. Here's a shot from the top of the Super GS hill. It was pretty flat in the beginning before dropping off and speeding up. Nice....!     Rate post 186968 !

This years event we had about 30 skaters on about two weeks notice so with this much time and notice for everyone we should be able to hold a real quality event. This year we had time trials on a giant slalom course with about 25 cones and then the top 8 we held 4 man elimination races. Steve Daddow winning the time trial event and Adam Yates taking out the elimination race. Will keep everyone posted on the exact date as soon as we hear. Start training the copetition should be a good standard. Cheers Call me on 0409576900 Jeremy     Rate post 185978 !

The wide course was slow but I wanted to make sure everyone could make it, seeing as it was a couple of guys first day out there. As people get better, the courses will get tighter, and as your pump gets stronger, the more you will kick ass! I'm looking forward to riding more slalom over the summer, more park skating as well with you and Steve, and maybe some more downhill/sliding with the speed freaks... I'm off to Morro tomorrow, it will be awesome. We'll see how I hold up against the best of the best...     Rate post 184512 !

But the course wasnt tight enough for me to pump and wasn't loose enough to double pump so I just couldn't get any kind of speed at all. Probly the slowest course ive ever done. But the point was that everyone was able to make it through the cones. Was a long board kind a day. Was good getting there early to help sweep etc and talk to Paul and haggy about technique and stuff. Hey oldskoolteam, next beer's on you.     Rate post 184442 !

Despite some initial showers and shifting weather that had us wondering if it was gonna happen or not, the weather gods came through and the sun shone throughout the afternoon. We ended up setting one course, sort of a wide hybrid course. We were eight racers and, as we have no timing system, raced a double elimination format. This worked well and everyone got to race at least a couple of rounds. Thanks to the guys who made it out. Next time we'll have to gather more troops. Kanufi, Simon, Adrian - where were you guys? The results: 1. Haggy 2. Paul 3. Gus 4. Daniel 5. Joseph and Josh 6. Scott and Benny     Rate post 184193 !

The rain appears to have finally stopped by my house so if we're lucky it will hold. Hope to see some people there! Not sure about Monday Simon, Paul is leaving for the US and I don't know what everyone else has planned. How about a race in Canberra some time!!     Rate post 184093 !

The cool thing about the olympic Stadium is that it is lit at night. So if it's wet all day but dry by evening we can still have a contest there.
