78A has relieved SAGRA from events organizing so that SAGRA can rather focus on legitimizing the sport and acting as the National Gravity sports body. 78A has decided to combine two existing events into one to make it more fun for the skaters and to avoid repetitiveness. As the location is not far from Cape Town, this event gathers most of its followers from the provincial capital and Stellenbosch area.
"This event is slightly different to our other events as we have a larger medic team available to attend to injuries that occur on the infamous "carnage corner". This event is known for injuries and big crashes. Spectators seem to enjoy this a lot", says the main organizer Gabi Murray Roberts. "We will have a vendor at the event selling boerewors rolls and refreshments. We have music playing, the smell of boerewors cooking, skating and good vibes in a beautiful nature setting, so come to join us!"
Carnage corner in action
Highrising Complex - Grabouw: GPS Coordinates -34.229313, 19.143019; Its about 12km from Grabouw centre.
The turnoff to the event is on the N2. Just past Gordons country kitchen farm restaurant - there is a green municipal road sign indicating "high Rising" - once you turn into the road, pass a road boom and carry on straight with the winding road for about 5km until you approach the reception building of High Rising Satellite testing facility - they will allow you to enter and direct you accordingly. Entrance to this event is free of charge.
