Armada rail battleThe Armada Summer Heat Railbattle is back
While the mountain rivers swell with meltwater and Marmots go about their favourite business of dodging golf balls, riders from across the UK, and maybe even further afield, will be getting together to pitch metal against metal.
After the success of last year?s event, where more than 50 men and women hit the slopes of the
SNO!zone, Castleford, the organisers have decided to add a second leg this year at Milton Keynes
on what is looking like the beginnings of a tour.
The format is simple. Entrants get a three hour window in which to impress the judges. After which
finalists will be pulled from the field and sent out for a 30 minute jib off in the hope of being crowned
the Summer Heat Railbattle King or Queen.
The course itself will consist of the best rail lines in the UK, with features of varying difficulty, from small beginner rails to the money features like the step-up gap box of last year. With cold hard cash
and a whole bunch of prizes to be given away, this is one event that is not to be missed, so don?t put those skis away quite yet because anybody who is anybody needs to be there.
The Where, the When, and the How...
SNO!zone Castleford - 5th June
SNO!zone Milton Keynes - Late September (official date tbc)
All competitors must pre-register for the events online at the official website, www.railbattle.co.uk.
The registration fee of £35 (which includes passes for the slope, event bib and a free drink) is
payable in cash at registration on the day.
