The PDf is where I started. It definately states there is a junior event but I am not confident juniors could skate an Open course, so there should be a course they can ride.

If the races don't count to WR or are so low ranked it is pointless, especially in the pro catagory.

June 5 and 6th. Three races H2H/ TS/ GS, old school downhill. All dependent on weather. Longboarders welcome.
This is the best event of the year, the best place, the fastest course and many different skill needed.

JG is dead right. The centre of gravity is the critical point, and compression. JG gave me some good advice once, on GS pretend you are having a s**t on the cone, compress more than you think.

Crystal Palace has a flat area (on the bridge) which is grippier in the wet than in the dry. I can not work it out but it is true. You can slalom tight in the wet and with full on pump.
