ANOTHER CANCELLATION FOLKS. We will have the race later this year once the weather gets better. Thanks to all of you who planned on coming. Till next time.

SORRY GUYS!! Due to the bad weather forecast we decided to postpone the race to next weekend (26/07/08). Hope to see you all there.

Greetings everyone! I guess its time for the 2nd outlaw race in tauranga. This event is organized by Sugar Boards and Bestboards. Same course as last, 10km point to point. If the weather turns to custard, we'll do it the weekend after or whenever the rain stops. There will be a price worth more than $100 for 1st place. This will be a surprise. We will meet in Newton Rd in front of KFC in the mount at 10:30am. of course everyone will be chitchatting so the race will start at 11:00 hopefully. We'll hit the hills after lunch so bring your speedboards and slide decks if you want.

HELMET IS A MUST!!!!!!!!!!!

im in

im coming down from auckland to if weather doesnt muck with the date. dave and any other fellow aucklanders (plus any welly boys that fly into auckland) we should work out a carpool to ease the price of gas.

alright im coming

But exactly what is the day and date??
Taking applications for Road trip crew from welly.
Flick me an email if your keen to pitch in for gas.(Farts additional)
Craig

its the 19th

It starts the 19th which is a Saturday im pretty sure. That other date on there (the 25th" i think is there if the weather caves in and it needs to be postponed.

I'm in Craig

Put my name down, i can put towards gas too.

Andrew and myself would be

Andrew and myself would be keen if you can fit us. what day are you heading up?

021 269 3813

i can provide a fuel

i can provide a fuel efficient car, but would need a driver for it

the whole weekend

wow, seeing that a lot of out of towners are coming, would you prefer to have it saturday afternoon instead of in the morning? or will you guys be coming on friday? i can accommodate a few guys for friday or saturday night. we have a small garden for tents but it would be freaking cold. what do you wellington boys think about the time of race? same as last time?

www.bestboards.co.nz Turning concrete into waves since 2006

I reckon the wellington crew

I reckon the wellington crew (we need a name!) should leave friday night so we get a full weekend in.

Take spare drivers

I was absolutely ****ed after driving all the way both days last time. If I was doing it again I would go Friday. Make the breaks between drives longer.

driving up.

Yeah i think a 2nd driver would help break it up. so if you have your full license that would help thing HEAPS.
Thanks Nacho for the offer of some lawn space for a tent, will take you up on that offer, surely cant be as cold as poop Hunterville in early june.
I will be looking at taking Friday off and leaving mid morning to get up there and sorted in good time.
Name for the welly crew... L.O.W. riders (Longboard Of Wellington)??
Just putting it out there.

Peace and Respect

sounds like a plan to me

sounds like a plan to me L.O.W riders it is

021 269 3813

2nd driver

Craig, if we take my car I can help with the driving. I only have my learners, but I can drive OK and you can supervise me :-)

We should wait

Im just thinking, we should wait for summer, then it will be a lot easier for us, so we can arrange for time off, travel ect. That and there is less chance of being rained out...

Bummer,

Sorry guys, i wont be able to make this one either :( Rugby is into the bussiness end of the season and i can't miss a game. So i'll be free to do races etc from 5 weeks onwards. Still keen to go for a skate with you Nach sometime this term, Hamilton or T-Town.
Good luck to all the racers and im sending my boy Josh again so look out!!

www.bombardierlongboards.co.nz

Josh and Mark - Team Bombardier

Well checked the forecast.

Well checked the forecast. Not looking hugely great. But it looks fine for Friday, and hopefully Saturday morning at least. My theory they always forecast more rain than what actually comes. (fingers crossed)

Bummer you cant make it Mark, hope to see you at any future Races. Good luck with your Rugby.

It would be sweet if we could get together for a skate some other time. I should be able to get over for the occasional weekend or something. I'll be a bit busy towards the end of this term. I've got mock exams and 2 folios for art to start and finish. But I'm sure I'll find time.
