PLEASE READ THIS

Armour Guidelines

The SDA have introduced a minimum body armour rule for competitors riding in the SDA Series and Championships. This document is to assist riders with the minimum criteria expected, it is not a finite list of acceptable armour as no definitive kite marked list is available either from governing bodies or the industry.

Spinal
All equipment used should have been designed and sold with the express purpose of being used as protective sports clothing.

Requirements
· Self fastening- does not require auxiliary fastening devices to secure to the body.
· Constructed of a solid material e.g. Plastic.
· Cover full length of back from between shoulder blades to tail bone.
· Can be fully, partially or non articulated in design.
· Can be stand alone back protectors or part of a protective suit e.g. Full body, half body or vest.

Race Cost: £50
(We will still proceed with trucks, we believe this is the best solution for our races, however if buses are forced upon us we will need to re-evaluate this cost. Nevis Range are looking to substantially increase the Gondola charge, as yet this has not been confirmed, we will again evaluate costs when we get this information.

Rule Change
To clarify the Race Series and in particular to clarify counting races in case of cancellation, the results will now be 5 from 5, 4 from 4 if there is a race cancellation, or indeed 3 from 3. This is a change from the previous best 4 from 5 races to count.

Reserve Entries on the Day
We will now be able to add riders to the Reserve List on Saturday Only. Computers allow easier integration of entries to the timing system, to ensure we run a full race, there will be a maximum of 20 reserve spaces available on a first come, first served basis. The spaces available will be dictated by sign-on obviously and so there is a risk to those wishing to attend a race in the hope that there are sufficient no-shows. We will not run over the maximum, so once the race is full, it is full.

Everything is getting more expensive!!! if we do that plus the Nationals that will mean we could spend £500 - £600 just on entries!!



P.s. its all worth it though

I think i got my plans try get to all the SDA and do the last race of NPS at carlton have loadz of fans there man be like WORLD CUP!!! lol could you try and enter me to dunkeld mate im allowed to do it so if you could get me a entry i will do it cheers

Yeh no worries mate i will sort you out for Dunkeld but don't forget if you wanna race the NPS you need a license.

One point to consider before the entries go live is marshalling at the races!! If you supply a marshall at the race then you are automatically guaranteed a place.

Quote from SDA:
Riders wishing to supply a Marshal, in order to guarantee a rider entry to that event, must get the marshall to signup as a marshall. Please note that maximum Marshal limits are in force and once filled no more guaranteed spaces are available.

Could be worth thinking about if someone wants to marshall??!!

oo i might be interest would i get paid too?

if you wana garentee a place gimme a shout n let me know what weekend and il see wot im doing

forget the racing lets all go marshalling and pin it .

I will find out if the marshall get paid. Matty you can be my "partner" for the races if you know what i mean!!! I called shotgun first on Matty. lol

i got lamby if he goes
