Go Fast Speed Days: 12-14 September 2008
Go Fast! Speed Days are back with a vengeance from 12-14 September 2008 after holding the first ever UK leg of the World Downhill Skateboarding Championships.
Riders from around the world are set to descend on Beachy Head for an adrenaline-fuelled weekend of fast downhill gravity racing, featuring downhill skateboard and streetluge racing.
Set on the fast, flowing hills over Beachy Head, competitors race around fast linked turns and high speed straights in the town's newest event.
Spectators, get set - for an action-filled weekend of danger and excitement as racers speed around the dips and curves of Beachy Head at the world's fastest downhill racing event!
All New Super Fast Road...
Earlier this month the road around Beachy Head was resurfaced ready for an even faster race in 2008!
The UKGSA have already checked out the newly resurfaced road and the new surface promises to be extremely grippy and super fast, making for an action-packed weekend this September.
"The new surface will transform the Eastbourne race course into a true world-class downhill venue!"
