And the OPEN 2WD is basically meant to give chance to other riders that dont fight on the top of OPEN. Of course its still possible to win 2WD and main at the same time But usually nowadays if you want to fight for podium in the OPEN you need the bindings or 4WD or both so its like a natural filter

We had another race in Pardubice this weekend, which set up things nicely for the season finals in Pitland later this year.

A really good fight in OPEN with @Dinnye stepping up the game. When reading data from previous events we can see that the fight for win was extremely quick, the fastest laps we have yet seen on this track. 3rd place times would be competitive to fight for the win in the first Pardubice race earlier this year. The arms race in OPEN obviously continues in high speed.

Originally planned to do Challenge race again but due to time constraints and people leaving we had to cancel. Hopefully next time.

We added points and rank to the race results page so its visible what the result mean in the season scope.

So the OPEN category is really still developing fast and will be interesting to see how things work out back indoors. There will be a really good fight for the championship win and multiple rider fight for 3rd place. Things are wild open and the changing surface and unknown performance of different riders.

OPEN 2WD category always brings new and new people in and we are happy to see how its working. This category is currently the most accessible for riders with regular skateboards with all levels of skill. But the current winner Tomáš Zikmund regularly scores well even among the top of whole OPEN category.

STREET category showed first time win for the current ranking leader Daniel Pék which confirmed his lead and made him very close to clinching the championship after super strong and consistent season. There is still open fight for 2nd.
