    Two weekends left to practice gentlemen and then we are a go.
    This year we will have to burn somebody’s plane (Marc do you have anymore)
    in a naive attempt to induce the perfect South Easter.
    The relevant difference to last years schedule will be the 4 mandatory moves
    followed by your choice of 6 K-Factor moves.
    This inherently allows you to hang yourself at will, if you get it wrong on high k-factor moves,
    or take a slow cruise through some of the easier moves ensuring that you score high on the easier moves!

    A great teaser this one and possibly a balance between the two ends of the spectrum may well serve
    the purpose better. Who knows…

    There will be 4 Judges this year allowing for a throw away score and every attempt
    will be made to ensure 3 completed sessions.
    Note that the Sunday half pipe schedule is very much alive, and a hell of a lot of fun.
    It also counts to final scores, so ignore it and Sunday’s routine may well hurt final scores.
    The first rounds kicks off at 10AM sharp.
    Pilots briefing slightly before that, so be at the relevant slope before 9AM
    to ensure continuity.

    Plenty of juice, burgers and insane egg and bacon in a roll – morning after soakers – will all be on sale
    so bring some cash as these two days can be long and thirsty.

    Lets make this years event bigger and better than last!
