Spencer spent quite some time talking to them this year as I felt that last year, UK based riders didn't stand a chance and UK riders just wouldn't hear about it.
They did make a heap of concessions for the UK based on our discussions. It's another route to getting noticed and a bit of fun. |

| So long as you approach it as a bit of fun, then that is the main thing. The UK riders dryslope/dome riders will never be able to compete with the tricks filmed in parks and urban settings abroad. It allows them to do things on a whole different scale. Just look at the winning Front 1 from Round 1. |

agreed, although a lot of the good brits are in the same place as the rest of the euro's...the hoff, tahoe etc so could actually compete on an even playing field......
i think the improvements that Spencer got them to agree do improve the format dunx, which is why it's a shame not more people had a stab at the comp  |

Hi guys, thought I’d get my end in, so to speak.
I entered the comp last year for a bit of fun, can’t remember what place I reached (mid 20s I think) entered again this year in part as a way to get riding again after a big fall at the end of last season. The format is easier as previously noted and the judgement from the KoS team is certainly more relaxed, (this was evident when a naked dude outside a strip club got his trick accepted.) I had a couple of tricks disallowed last year, I guess the rider’s interpretation of a given trick can vary greatly depending on setting, location and obviously amount of snow. Which we in the UK lack. It also didn’t help getting home from work firing up to the dry slope and trying the get something filmed in the dark.
It’s a shame not more people could have entered, if the UK had 10 or more riders involved we would have had a stab at some prizes within our group, and a bigger pool of UK riders would have been a bigger force to reckon with on the voting front.
I still think there is a bit of work needed on the voting system, there is a lot of tactical votes getting placed within the last hour or so of each trick closing, saying that the top 4 or 5 usually stay fairly close, and we’ve not had any howlers getting through by mistake.
Until this afternoon I thought like last year we had 10 rounds and these next two tricks would round things off, no such luck! Guess I’ll need to man up and pull my 720 out of retirement for one night only.
Finally, for those of you reading this and want to get involved, get yourself a profile, upload a trick (or a bail) and get in about it. The 3 of us currently competing could certainly do with the extra votes. And it will get you in the system ready for next years event. |

| Cheers guys, unforntuatly i'll be taking a letter this week, gave the rodeo a go at the weekend and ate shyzen, can't teach an old dog new tricks. Didn't want to push it to much as im heading out to France this weekend for a couple of weeks, so fingers crossed i'll get the Front7 sorted off a nice big booter and may even try the Cab9. Fingers crossed I can squeeze into the top 10. |
