Went to Eastbourne this afternoon, as it's only 20 minutes away from where I work and I figured it would be rude not to.

I've never been interested in downhill stuff, as I have a phobia of skating faster than I can run - which isn't too quick these days

Well...
I watched a bit of the free ride and Damn! These guy's are off the F%$King Chain!

Check out this quick n dirty footage I took


If you live along the South Coast guy's, take a trip over to Eastbourne.
It's Qualifying tomorrow, with the races Sunday

Thanks Bud - I normally Slalom Race, but could well be tempted to give it a go!

I plan to go both tomorrow and Sunday, so will post up some more footage.
