Skike Australia visit to Canberra

9/12/2013

Len and Marshall had a busy time in Canberra recently. Our first stop was a visit to Radford College where we had a Friday lunchtime demo session with a good turnout of junior and senior school snowsports team members, sports staff and parents.

On Friday afternoon and most of Saturday we spent time catching up with Canberra skikers and St Clare’s students and their families at Stromlo Forest Park. The criterium curcuit and pavilion is an excellent facility with plenty of smooth bitumen to learn skiking on. Len also took a couple of participants around the gravel carpark and nearby MTB tracks to demonstrate the ability of Skikes over varying terrain.

The Skike tent was set up opposite the entrance to the Canberra Get Active Expo on Sunday 1 December. The event was well attended and we had a steady stream of people trying out demo sets of Skikes all day.

A special word of thanks to fellow skiker Jonathan Mandl who assisted us with appointments and our planning over the weekend and helped to make our visit to Canberra well worthwhile. 

Fellow skikers Wendy Hughes and Linda Clee also assisted setting up our visit. We are endeavouring to establish regular Friday evening Skike Force gatherings  from Stromlo Forrest park based around attendance by Wendy and Linda and their families.

Hi,
Any chance of trying out a pair before buying? Will you be coming to Brisbane at some time so that I can give them a try?

Hi Dan,

Would you make contact with up please via an email to [email protected] or preferably by phone 03 94678039 to see what we can organise for you. There are quite a number of skikers in Brisbane.

Regards,

Len
