That guy is a nutter. Don't take any notice of him. He suggests all sorts of crazy stuff.

It would make a great short track race course though

strategic running is all good :thumbsup:

if you're going to make a dismount a dq you should make it something properly trialsy (like the stone steps up to the old nats/A-frame)

actually compared to the other option of up the missing link/down old bowenvale - well you're probably right (lovely climb, but multiple laps of that would have been beyond belief!)

maybe the club should run the 'stupidly hardcore vic park shortcourse' - there's enough sickos that I'm sure we'd get a decent field, and for spectators it should be hilarious (watch people puke on the way up and crash their guts out on the way down)

And that is such a cool name for it too

how about a traveling rule like basket ball, no more than 3 steps (unless you do not have your bike in your hands)

Gone done voted. I'm guessing after work mid week would be the most popular for this. Just a note that a) the second "Sun am" should be pm, and 2) the weekend of 22/23 Jan is the Vulcaniser so we would love for you not to run it then, pretty please

Done voted. I haven't read the thread but I'm guessing the proposed course will be super rad on a rigid ss.

just for you nick we'll add going up the skidder 4wd and coming down raadi garden - that should be uber cool on the rigid!

as if I'd be do anything but running down raadi anyway

Actually, up that 4wd track from b-line to pump track and down Sesame wouldn't be too bad of a track either. Maybe it could be a 3 race series sorta thing..? :thumbsup:

That 4WD track is pretty tame tho compared with the other two mentioned above. Still steep but not STEEP

My vote would be for 40 footer to skidder site and straight down Dazzas.
