yeah they have ben talking bout doing this for a while it is good to see that they have got around to running it, i might be there but that depends if i get my car finished of not, and nigel could probably enter but he would have to use his kite bike....

[goshen]

Well I should be there - thanks Gus for letting us know about it (I don't visit AusATB as much as I should anymore)...

See you there, if not before...

[kaboom]

oh yeah, nigel kite bike would be ok, if they accept dirt sufers the would accept his contraption

[nigel]

Now all I need is little sticks to put in their wheels to make them fall off.
I'm glad you don't need brakes, as I don't have any.
"Get out of the way,Nigel's comming thruogh!!!!" :shock:

Rather than start a new topic, I've added on some info about our own Downhill Mountainboard Day - in Geelong (Eastern Park).

If the winds were going to be any good, I would be pushing the kiting aspect as well, but it doesn't look like there's going to be any North in the wind, so kite landboarding is unlikely.

Info in the poster below. Cheers All. Goshen.
