Team Europe is in full preparation mode We have been practicing and upgrading hard since last esk8con so we should be coming in the strongest form yet in Pro. I think all of us are really excited to see where we come up. Personally after observing the races around the world last year I hope we could actually see a much tighter finals, guessing around 8-10 riders in really close competition and maybe wider podium fight. Still hoping for that kart style rider train for multiple laps where any mistake costs fortune.

Big track this year!!
290 ft straight is crazy, we’re going to be hitting 50+mph.
I love that the intestines are returning
Going to be a test of board setup skill to be stable on the straights while still being able to make those hairpins
Fast track this year! Set up at i2s SD last night, I was hitting 45mph on the straights, and I wasn’t really trying to push. You can see I let off the throttle on the straights and was going easy in the braking zones
When I check the original layout, I think you are kinda missing the backturn to the main straight or it doesnt do much. I feel the final speed really depends a lot on how turny will be the entrance to the main straight.
