In 2007, the Go Fast! Speed Days in Eastbourne turned out to be the UK's speed event of the year.   They're back for '08 and have some Preregistration information for you.  Book your flights and get ready for night riding!  Check it out:

Go Fast! Speed Days Registration Opens May 19^th!

Registration for the second annual GoFast! Speed Days 2008 - IGSA World Cup Opens Monday, May 19^th at 10.00am GMT. Registration is limited to 200 riders. The race fees include all food, and the legendary GoFast! party! Go to www.gofastspeeddays.com to register for the race.

The organisers of GoFast! Speed Days 2008 are pleased to announce that they have just secured government funding to resurface the race course for Speed Days 2008!  The road WILL be resurfaced with perfect, machined, race-quality tarmac, especially for the race. This is an unprecedented level of achievement for the downhill skateboarding community, and the new surface will transform the Eastbourne race course into a true world-class downhill venue!

In addition to the new surface, the Speed Days organisers will also raise the downhill game with the biggest launch ramp in the universe! Even bigger than the crazy 2 metre transition ramp we built for 2007, the new 2008 ramp will be 21 metres (68')long, and 3 metres (10') high, with a straight 10% gradient, making it suitable for downhill skateboard riders of all abilities, as well as the Street Luge & Classic Luge classes!
