You’ll have a lift.

I’m also an option but will be following an ultramarathon runner on a solo mission across the Nullabour until the 7th - if it takes longer than planned I could be a few days late getting back to Sydney. I’ll need a rest before doing the

short

trip from Sydney to Thredbo so it should be good timing.

Just thought of a new competition/game/event for the Shred.
The 2011 Boardworld King of the Mountain. Race from top to bottom, with a running start to your board then run to the start then strap in and go!
shred

you can also do a modified version where everyone has a glass of beer in their hand and the one who gets to the bottom first with a full glass wins.

Boarding with glass I will discourage to the utmost!!!!!!! Maybe plastic…

Thredbo holds the Top to Bottom in early August - Le-mans start, GS course.


People have been seriously injured and died in the official T2B.

Doing it minus the gates would be interesting - chinese downhill, but approval would be needed as it’s dangerous for others on the hill. That sort of race would encourage me to be topping 80km/h - I’ve done over 100km/h racing skiers, first run of the day, to the bottom. (High end GPS on 3 of us measuring from 108km/h to 120km/h - all arrived at the bottom within 50m of one another)

Great idea but lots of red tape. Done unofficially it would put a bad name to the BW-Shred. Sorry to rain on the idea K2.

An idea:

Utilising the RFID ticketing system we can tally up the most runs and estimate distances covered during the shred…...

If you are struggling, let me know and I can drive you (and your car) back down to thredders. I’ve done the drive many times before smile
