    Default Newton's Playground - Coming to a TV near you

    If you have Pay TV, tune in to Fuel TV on Sunday 6th July @ 5pm for the Newton's Playground one-hour special.

    If you don't, tune into Channel 10 on Sunday 6th July @ 3pm for a Totally Australia documentary titled "Panorama Punks".

    Both shows are well worth a watch!

    Haha. The Panorama Punks thing was a bit of a joke.

    you reckon???

    too be honest i really enjoyed it, never really knew about the sport so it was interesting to see a bit of a look into the lifestyle and set-up of it all.

    wat did everyone else think

    They kept on saying how it was a world cup event, yet only 50 people were there, and few from overseas. Possibly one of the smallest sports I have ever seen.

    50 down hill skaters.
    There were also luge, down hill inline, gravity bike... and you had to qualify to race the world cup categories.

    As for being a small sport.... The World Cup round in South Affrica had 50 000 paying spectators.
