Martyn Tamblin - bars to walltap, 3 tables, Toby Cresswell, boom! would have liked to see him get the bars to nosepick on the sub box that would have been a treat but time ran out, Dan, way too high for a 6 foot mini + Del Sheperd, double whip air, 3 whip the spine, all rode crazy good!
B Group was just as awesome and I was stoked to see the return of the abubacca and it was on a sub box pulled by Mr Pete Wallwork. The guy who won, Rich Perry could have held his own A group and he was super close to a 720 to fakie.
The street course had the addition of a few new set ups, most noticeable a big double up the stairs over the whole driveway, kind of like the one the old backyards had. This saw a lot of action and B Group shredders warmed it up and standout rider in B was Chris Czako, he has got so good in the few years I've known, definitely another one to watch out for. Step up the pros and Toby Cresswell sent a new rad transfer from the driveway double landing over the ledge and rail into the wallride jumpbox landng! He also flipped it the driveway double and somehow managed to fuf the new tight jersey quarter on the side of the mini, Oh and his 270 1 handed table was a treat! Martyn Tamblin trucked the driveway double and is amazing - fact. Craig Stevens was all over the wallride and did one the biggest downside footplants I have ever seen, shredder! The hips also witnessed some wild moves and Del Sheperd flaired and double whipped over the hip and got super close to a 450 whip! Dan Sheperd busted out the nu skool moves, can jams, downside whips and nu skool (down) no handers. I rode A street as well and kept it STREET with an xup grind to bars, tooth grind down the rail etc and then sent the 180 over the driveway double. I got bucked pretty hard on about my 5th go and had to call it, gutted but the roll back was just that bit to fast and I couldn't focus to well! I woke up Monday morning and couldn't move my neck - after ages in A+E it turns out I've given myself whiplash! Goodtimes! See you there next year?

You will notice the under 16's comp is called mini and the A&B group is called spine, this is because the A&B group rode the larger spine ramp and the under 16's rode the smaller mini ramp.
