Brad, I don't think anything much will happen this month or February in the way of putting on races, but I'm always interested in getting out and slaloming for fun.
Maybe March for the next race.

hey Brad,
good to see you blazing through the course last weekend, i'm stoked you came down. Colin and I are planning another Slalom Jam for the New Year. It will likely be at Homebush as you suggest.
But stay posted for upcoming slalom sessions. We might be heading out to Homebush on Friday night for a session.

Allawah Slalom Jam

Hey folks,
The Allawah Slalom Jam was a success! Thank you to everyone who made it out, bringing with them a positive and fun vibe. Also thanks to the sponsors, Force, Old Skool, and Lush.
Now for a couple of highlights and results.
Course – single-lane, pretty loose with offsets
Timing system – TrakMate with Tapeswitches
Colin (aka Bugs) set a fun course, wide enough to be made by newcomers, but still tight enough to pump through and gain speed. The man who spent a great deal of time thinking about and putting together the timing system rolled into fourth! A big Hurrah for him!
I think the Jam format worked well. The course was open for practice at roughly 1, but timing didn't start until 2pm. Then just after 5pm I called "last run" for everyone, closing the window for runs.
Most people made a number of runs, with Scott Tansley taking a total of 14 timed runs! He should have got a prize just for that!
It was great to see people getting faster throughout the day. In fact, a lot of people’s last runs were their fastest.
Pete Smith's first run was 26.704. Of his 12 runs, his 10th was the fastest, with a 22.755. Perhaps more impressively, apart from one DQ, was that Pete hit only ONE cone all day!! That's 10 "clean as a whistle" runs, and good enough for sixth place. Well done mate!
Jeremy Rodgers first run was 27.075. His eighth and last run was a blistering 23.878 - that's a lot of improvement...
Greg was also getting faster, from a 27.352 in his first run to a 24.206 in his final and fastest run, which put him in 15th place. Nice work!
Eric Moore took third on a homemade plank! Check out his board in the photos linked up by Bugs.
Everyone grew quiet during Steve “Bear” Daddow’s runs, just speechless watching him blaze down the hill. You were super fast all day brother!
Dale gets the prize for oldest setup, riding an old FibreFlex from before I was born… Great racing buddy!
For a while I wasn’t sure I would ever see Fitzy on a slalom board – he claimed his feet were too big… Had to have wiiiiide trucks… but it seems the Trackers and your very cool homemade board suits you just fine!
A big thanks to all the guys from Queensland who came down for Sunday’s Downhill but also raced slalom on Saturday. You guys are multi-talented!
Also a big thanks to the M*A*S*H and OSS guys who came out and charged. Looking forward to riding with you more, both in the bowls and on the slalom course.
And Three Cheers for everyone who helped, took turns on the radio, made sure cones were in the proper places – without you it would have been a nightmare.
I also want to point out how close it was between 7th and 14th place, with eight guys in the 23-second range.

Great day at Allawah! The weather was good, the course was good, and everybody ripped it! There will be more race days throughout 2006, so get ready for them.
Thanks to the Old Skool Team and Force for coming through with prizes, and for helping out with cone-marshallling - much appreciated.
For the results and pictures from the day, see Click here for link.
If anybody has good photos or videos from the day, I'd really appreciate it if you could email them to me. Thanks!

Some race details...
Date: Saturday, December 3rd
Time: 1 pm - 4 pm
Location: Kempt Field, Allawah (next to Allawah Station)
You can take as many timed runs as you can fit within the three-hour window.
Kempt Field is actually a park with a big open grassy area, some trees for shade, and a bunch of BBQs, so bring some food for the BBQ, have a picnic, and make a day of it.

Dec 3 Allawah slalom Jam is on.
I will post the time and other details shortly.
Just a mellow single lane jam session. The timing system should be in working order so it'll be a bit of fun. Hopefully we'll get a couple of prizes together for it, but consider it a trial run for future events.
Peace!

hey, it says that I'm posting in from Indo - I wish, I'm stuck here in a windowless office in subzero temperatures in Sheffield ... I hear it is sunny outside though! I've been in touch with Jogger - you should have some stuff soon. What's the longboard scene like in Oz - is it centred around Sydney pretty much? I'm thinking I might come out soon for some surf and skate, what's the best way to find other Oz longboarders, other than NCDSA? Lots of questions, sorry!
