We arrive in England Eastbourne, beautiful country and landscape, then we went to check the road and the organization.

Set up the tents after we received good news about ride in the road afternoon at 17:00 for the TV.

Well done, let's go skate - after two runs we were not so happy - the surface was super bad ruff and a lot of bumps but it would make the race hard - everybody will shake like hell.

For every rider the road was hard for keeping control without of wobbles, Tom Worsley and his team done one sick ramp for start but it didn't work with streetluge and buttboard (check pictures).
