Was wondering already if it was here.

Again looking for transportation from The Netherlands.

Hey David what are the eskate requirements for participating?

Surely not the same as the downhillers.

Also is there perhaps an eskaters participation price? Some are saying that €80 is a bit steep.
What does €80 get you exactly? Some of us might just want to free ride and not compete.

Also what about competition prizes? Are there any?

The downhiller wants to see full face. The rest is up to ourself. I suggest kneepads and gloves as a minium.

I have been negotiating with the organizers about how we could participate, as I think some of it (race and price) will be a roadblock for some. I have suggested different options for them but… they are welcoming us, but on the same conditions as the downhillers. Full ticket which grants access to it all, or volunteer one day (as corner marshall or the like) and get one day of riding for free. I know they are struggling each year to cover all the costs they have organizing this, so I don’t think the price will change.

This is foremost a downhill event that we can enjoy too. They are welcoming us and are changing format for us, so we are accommodated on good conditions.

Prizes: I honestly dont know yet. The event do have skateshops like sick and skatepro as sponsors and there are prizes. I have not discussed this with them yet. Perhaps some of the eskate related companies will sponsor. But I see this as a golden opportunity to get to freeride and race on a closed road with the downhillers, and prizes are secondary to me. If we end up being a whole lot I will make sure there will be good prizes.

They do stress that this are both laid back freeeride and race for them that wants that.
