Default Tauranga Outlaw Race - March 2008

i'm willing to donate the prizes. all we need is at least 10 riders and the race is on. the more riders, the bigger the prizes. name, phone number, and e mail can be left on this thread or info@bestboards.co.nz

everyone gets free stickers.

helmet is a must.

if you want to organize a race in your local town, drop me a PM and we'll see what we can do.

i think we can start off with a flatland race so that all skill levels can join. once we know whos who, then we can progress to moderate DH (short ones) if there are enough riders. this is a good way to get people into it plus we get to meet fellow riders and share stuff. would you be keen? suggestions are welcome if you have any.

I'm probably a 50/50 chance of coming up from Kapiti. Depends on what weekend. Can't make not 1st weekend and not sure when soccer season starts.

thats real cool of you man. i'm aiming for 2nd or 3rd week of march. it depends how many riders are interested. so far i have around 3 guys interested. i think we can reach 10-15 riders easy.

let me know if you come across anyone. we can also do one in auckland. check out panapa rd in remuera or the albany area.

cheers

If my family don't come with me I'll try to fill the car with Wellingtonians. Cross post on Front Side Grind. You might get a few old skool guys interested too.

Count us in one way or another. I'm probably too old for this stuff but my son is keen on the point to point race and possibly the DH.

Just a couple of questions...

Why outlaw? Is it just the hassle of getting permissions etc?
Is there some sort of skating New Zealand association/body that works on behalf of skaters etc?

The next obvious question: If not, should we look at establishing one? It would make it easier to get permissions etc and give us a bit more credibility. (sorry, don't mean to hijack the thread)

Edit: New thread started here: New Zealand Skateboarding Association?
