There will be tiered seating around 3 sides of the floor.

As you can see all of our judges are current or former pro level riders, including former world champions, who between them bring years of flatland experience to back up their decisions.

Music
There will be DJs for the event – I would recommend bringing your own music, if you want it, on a labelled ripped CD and a memory stick.

In a nutshell. £50 entry fee gets you into the contest, and remember NASS is also a 3 day music festival that you get full access to as a part of this. As an athlete you can also choose, for another £50, to have food provided – 3 cooked meals a day for the whole 3 days.
A ticket to the NASS festival normally costs £130 for the three days, so entering the worlds gives you a great saving on just coming to watch.
Accommodation is camping based on site. You can bring your own camping equipment, but camping packages (tents with airbeds and sleeping bags) are available for £35. You need to book these extras when you register.”
See you there!
