As the title suggests, we have renewed our old ties with Paul Nash and his team at Glastonbury Ales - so bring your board and best beer drinking Vans too; those that attended last year will know I mean! The NASS festival will feature vert and street skating, in-line, BMX, FMX alongside many other extreme attractions, rides, stalls and try-outs. There are also a host of music acts playing on Friday and Saturday night on the outdoor and indoor stages. Last years festival attracted almost 10,000 visitors. Photos from last year: Click here for link The event runs from Friday 10 – Sunday 12 July. Weekend camping is also available in the “competitor only” campsite. The format for racing will be: Friday – Set up camp, courses and ramps Saturday – Dual Tight Slalom Sunday – Dual Hybrid Slalom Qualifying will be the best time of two runs, one run in each lane. Starting for qualifying will be individually timed, but in order to keep up the racing impetus, racers are requested to go within ten seconds of being permitted on course, with parallel qualifying preferred (i.e. racers going together ASAP). Time and numbers (and weather) permitting, there will then be bracketing into two groups of 16, A and B Groups. If there are any delays then a single bracket of top 16 will be arranged. We are not limited to a particular finish time on Saturday so we may be able to cram in some additional races as well as! Starting in the heats will be via the standard European system of 'five second warning’, where, once racers are ready, a start will ensue at any point within the next five seconds. Anyone DEEMED to be jumping the start will be given just one verbal warning before being given the DQ penalty of 10per cent of the fastest qualifying time. Cone penalty will be 0.1 seconds per cone. If a cone is hit and remains either touching or in part of its circle then it is not to be counted as a penalty. If a cone is out of place on your run, then pull out of the course and raise your hand immediately. If cones are knocked out in front of you by the opposition's cones then do likewise. A re-run will occur. If these rules are deemed to be abused, then the organiser's delegated referee decision will be final. Even if wrong! What we ask from all of you is that you sign up as soon as possible and make your payment by PayPal to ukssa01@gmail.com Please make sure that you put ‘NASS Festival 2009’ in the header of your payment; stating, where necessary, on which day you will be attending. £20 for one day £30 for the weekend (All proceeds go to UKSSA). Juniors: (15 and under) FREE! We need to submit a list of all registered racers to the organisers by the beginning of July – if your name is not on the list you don’t get in! I know this is quite short notice but urge you not to miss out on this event! As last year we will be encouraging other skaters etc. to “have a go” so please enter into the spirit of it – this is a showcase event! 1st Place Finisher: Louis Selby (Pavel Racing/ G.O.G./ Pistache) 2nd Place Finisher: Sam Gordon (Pavel Racing/ Virage Trucks) 3rd Place Finisher: Nat Halliday (www.skatefurther.com) Overall Results: Saturday saw bucketloads of rain, so Paul from Glastonbury Ales coated our insides with Love Monkey ale in order to 'drink the sky blue.' It nearly worked.

13. Mmedo 1848 Duffort	Pig City	Tight, Hybrid	Adrenaline & Fear - avaliable in a dark alley near you.	Apparently, I was born on July the 25th 1977, dans la joie et la bonne humeur, in the South-West of France. Strangely enough, this is not an information I have bothered to verify. I suppose...	...one only does so when one has either a strong tendency for contestation or a wish for a better story. I had neither.	7/1/2009 1:44:33 PM
