Looking forward to it MissionElement. There seems to be slightly less majors there this year, but I'm sure there will be a few more on the day. e.g. Johnsons Roundup.

XXXL is $12 per ride or 2 for $20.00. I rode it two times at the Shepparton Show and I must say its deffinatly extreme and packs a punch nearly as hard as No Limit! Is the DDS Zipper there? Also please Missionelement we all would love to know what this surprise ride is :D im thinking of going myself

what, no Zipper? hmmm was going to drop by but am re-considering now. MissionElement maybe saw Zacchini's Zipper which is sometimes stored on the grounds.

Tayz give Mixer a try and share your review on here after you ride it - reading about it here in detail will make it less of a surprise!

I doubt we will see a Zipper at m/any Vic shows this year.Unless I'm mistaken,it was mostly Deans that did the Vic run and he is obviously focusing on his wheel.Does Zacchini's Zipper travel Vic?...Shorts' only seems to do Mildura.

Yeh I haven't heard of Davis' Zipper doing alot this year, think it missed alot of the Nth run aswell. Wouldn't suprise me if his using the truck which haul's the Zipper instead on the 2nd lighter trailer on the wheel which carries the gondalas, platforms' etc. He did buy a new truck to pull the centre trailer of the wheel so maybe his using for the 2nd trailer the truck from the Zipper?

Zacchini's Zipper is in Tassie at the moment

Also i took a vid of the xxxl and te mixer (in one vid) do u want me to upload that? It only shows them for like 50 seconds in there mid cycle so dont expect any fancy vid.
