Hi all. I'm not a user of silverfish as I normally reside on Frontsidegrind in the coneheads section. My name is Eddie. A friend sent me a link to this thread. I think its great you are getting a race together for the 15th. Unfortunetly I can't get there as its too far away from the deep south, but I'd be very interested in being kept informed. I ride a lot of slalom, have quite a few set-ups plus 125 cones. I've been slaloming for 30+years so I'm very experienced running slalom and I'd really love to finally get a slalom scene up and running in NZ. I've been toying with the idea of creating an event here in Wanaka but its sort of sidelined at the mo as I didn't know how many could actually attend so its great to see this thread and realise there are people out there. I'm entered for the Bathurst Newtons Playground event on 7-9th March racing Hybrid, GS and am very excited to have an entry to the Speedboard event. Bathurst is such an iconic racetrack its going to be amazing.
Perhaps if enough interest is there we can get a number of slalom and DH events going from grassroots right up... I'd suggest we use the frontsidegrind forum thou as there is info there already. But we can do it here just as easily if this is where you guys go most.
the 8th? hmm... keep me in on this, we only have a few days left of skatenewzealand, in dunedin at the mo. Will be paying you a visit eddie. Have you got any spare wheels? i gave away my pink bigzigs to someone. have brought my pavel with splitfires on it to have a skoot with you.
might make it to tauranga by the 8th, but probably not im afraid. driving back up the west coast.... might be some time....
