EASTBOURNE - Go fast speed days (IGSA)

[jshalvorsen]

So, who will be there? And does anyone know if it's any trouble getting there from Stansted Airport(cheapest plane tickets go to Stansted from Norway).

[gavmck]

I'm pretty damned tempted to go as I'm livin in Canterbury. Only problem is, I may have agreed to go see my parents that weekend...

Best way to get there from Stansted will be either train or bus, you'll have to go into London central (either Victoria or Waterloo I would imagine) and then get on a bus/train outta there!

For details check out
http://www.thetrainline.com
This will have details of train times and prices for you.

http://www.nationalexpress.com
These are the bus guys, this site has regular details.

If you type "national Express Funfares" into google, you get a part of the national exress site where you can book 'funfares' that are way cheaper from London to any city in the uk. I use this between Canterbury and London regularly and it runs about £1-4 each way. Don't miss the bus though cos they won't let you on another one with the cheap tickets!

W000 IGSA!

Bump for the uk speed scene!

I think Heathrow would be a better option.
I know the flights are cheaper from torp-stansted but, when you payed fares oslo-torp, stansted-around/through London.It don't work out such a big saving plus extra travel time.

Would be cool to compare my CLB foamie with your Wefunk side by side with the same trucks etc.

So I'm off to the trainstation now, hope to see alot of awesome skaters tomorrow mornin'! And lets rip that hill apart!

[jshalvorsen]

Congratulations go out to Bassi Haller(3rd.), Luis Lins(2nd.) and the tall viking from the north Erik Lundberg for taking home another 1st place!(Erik is seriously fast, but one day.... )

The course had some smoothness issues(or lack of smoothness) but other than that it was an awesome race with alot of awesome people!

And for a debut racer like myself I couldn't ask for more(ok, one thing, better road conditions....). But getting 14th best qualification time out of 44 riders and advancing from the 32racers into the quarter finals(16 racers) on raceday was alot better than what I had expected! So now I'm ready to save up for Danger Bay and whatnot

Pics will come as soon as I wake up again after MANY hours of sleep
