the australian street weekend

tomsey · 2006-04-06T02:39:25+00:00

hey all, i have 12 people on board so far, which i think will be a good turnout, but we can accomodate more if you wanna come along. the schedule is as follows. friday afternoon: bondi skatepark, and beach trials. (round the headland if you are into that kinda stuff) saturday: we drive to tuggerah in a bus and hit up the slam factory skatepark. (biggest indoor park in NSW i think) then go for a swim or street ride at the entrance. sunday: CBD ride. this is gonna depend on where we are allowed to ride before we get booted. we might just head up to manly or fox studios or somewhere else with cool places to ride. this will be decided depending on what everyone wants to do most. i'll draw up a map of locations once we work them out monday: if anyone wants to keep riding, more power to ya. we will still keep riding if anyone will. accomodation: if you want to hook up a motel room, the formula 1's are really cheap, like $50 a night for 3 peeps, otherwise luke has a shanty pad that can you can crash at its gonna cost some money for the bus, and entry to the park, also pitch in for the prizes. probably no more than $30 ea. and you're gonna need train fares, should be no more than $20 for the weekend reply if you are still interested and i dont know you're coming -- tomsey damn you, damn the brocholli and damn the wright brothers! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomsey's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7038 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/48324

hey all,
i have 12 people on board so far, which i think will be a good turnout,
but we can accomodate more if you wanna come along.
the schedule is as follows.
friday afternoon: bondi skatepark, and beach trials. (round the
headland if you are into that kinda stuff)
saturday: we drive to tuggerah in a bus and hit up the slam factory
skatepark. (biggest indoor park in NSW i think) then go for a swim or
street ride at the entrance.
sunday: CBD ride. this is gonna depend on where we are allowed to ride
before we get booted. we might just head up to manly or fox studios or
somewhere else with cool places to ride. this will be decided depending
on what everyone wants to do most. i'll draw up a map of locations once
we work them out
monday: if anyone wants to keep riding, more power to ya. we will still
keep riding if anyone will.
accomodation: if you want to hook up a motel room, the formula 1's are
really cheap, like $50 a night for 3 peeps, otherwise luke has a shanty
pad that can you can crash at
its gonna cost some money for the bus, and entry to the park, also
pitch in for the prizes. probably no more than $30 ea. and you're gonna
need train fares, should be no more than $20 for the weekend
reply if you are still interested and i dont know you're coming

Hey Tomsey! Good to see the event comming along. What dates were you
thinking for the event? I just hope that my profile warranty comes good
and i get some cranks to ride on for then. I don't think there would be
much use comming if all i had was my 20" freestyle AAARGHGHGHGHGHGH1

oh yeah. the dates.
the 21st till the 23/24th
my house is now a free place of accomodation. got 5 beds spare
we are switching the saturday and sunday ride around because someone
forgot to tell me we cant get the bus now. but all in all should still
be an awesome event.
cool, mark and liam are in thats 14.
lets say the entire weekend will cost you $100, and you crash at my
house. if you motel it and you have 3 friends $150. thats for
everything. but you might wanna bring some more in case you break your
unicycle and need repairs.

Ok.
Everyone blame me for not getting the bus. Blame Dan for not passing on
messages.
I've tried to organize times and prices as best as I can for the
weekend. i'm giving CityRail Adult Tickets from Blacktown, Just to give
people an idea on prices and Blacktown being central to us riders.
Again, any questions with fares, hit me up and ill work it out for you
My MSN is [email hidden] if anyone wants to contact me for
questions.
Friday - Bondi Ride.... $10.20 Return trip from Blacktown to Bondi.
12:00PM- Meet at Bondi Beach Skate Park. Park Riding and Trials on
the beach. I will have my camera gear along so if anyone wants photos
of their riding let me know.
8:00PM- Leave Bondi and head to George St, Sydney. Good chance for
interstate people to check out the city. Head to Pizza Hut for all you
can eat($15 per head). Just a chance to get to know your fellow riders.
Saturday - CBD Ride... Probably $10 in train fares for the day.
11:00AM - Meet Parramatta skatepark, ride there for short warm up
and head through Parramatta and get a train into Central. Ride from
Central through the CBD to Circular Quay (Or is it Darling Harbour
Grace?) to catch a ferry off to Manly(Around $7) to ride the rest of
the day. Head back whenever we decide to end, riding will probably go
late this night.
Sunday - Slam Factory
9:00AM - Train to Tuggerah ($20 return) to Slam Factory (Entrance
$10) Ride for the day, as Tomsey said, swim etc.
Monday - Prize Day
11:00AM - Meet at Parramatta/Jamison for an end weekend ride.
Prizes will be given out, and people can keep riding if wanting to.
Prizes for the weekend are a GP Trials Unicycle and a new set of
pedals.
Cost to cover the Prizes etc are $10 per head.
It'll most likely end up being $50 in total for Transport. not
including meals/drinks etc. Any questions msn is [email hidden]
