LSP LongBoard Time Attack!
***LSP will be closed as we will be at the event***
Date: SUNDAY, AUGUST 8th 2010
Time: 10am-3pm-ish
Main Event : Individual Time Trial
- Take turns to record your fastest time.
- 5 Fastest individuals will win store vouchers worth $500, $400, $300, $200 and $100 respectively.
This is a great opportunity to check out what longboarding is about, the park has many paths and you can try out some boards or hug a tree or whatever, and even if you are a street skater and think longboarding is silly but you are secretly curious, you should come and try it out for yourself, its super fun!
Basically we will make a timer activated by strips, and everyone takes turns to do the run. The time starts and stops when the longboard runs over the strips, 5 fastest individuals will win stuff!
The number of runs you can take will depend on how many people participate and how much time we have, but after your run, you can queue up again for another try at the back of the line.
Rules:
1) Helmet compulsory.
2) No pushing in between the start and finish lines.
3) Be nice, spread the stoke!
4) It’s still on even if it rains, just make sure you oil your bearings after.
5) Keep the place clean.
Tips:
Gripping the corner is the fastest way around so wheels like Big Zigs are good. I think the fastest way would be to go super fast down the start then predrift/footbrake at the right bend so you can still grip around the left corner. I think a top 5 time would be under 22 seconds.
If you dont have a board you can use mine, its a rayne isis with gunmetal double barrel trucks and lime bigzigs.
is this route downhill? is this open to foreigners?
this gonna be 1 tuff race!
NO PUSHING SOME MORE?!
any registration cost?
yea its downhill, its steepest at the start then it goes to a pretty flat left corner that is tricky to do fast. the run is really short but fun.
yes its open to everyone.
ok the part about pushing was not clear, you are expected to push BEFORE the start line to get speed, ive updated the picture to show this.
no its free, you just turn up with some ID to participate, sign a waiver, and we will clock your time.
I wish this would be on the 21st or 22nd, but hope I can make it.
YAY! i hope the turn out will be great. i will help promote your event to the best of my abillity.

but where is that near?
try google maps and type in the coordinates or road name.
i have no helmet.can spare me?hehe
is there any contingency plans for wet weather? like heavy downpour with lightning
If there is no lightning, the time trials will take place even in the rain
Only if the weather is a cat 1 then we stand down and await instructions.
Everything still needs to go as planned.
Its too late to do anything else so let’s make the best out of it.
Cheers
