Latvian downhill longboarding racing season is in its peak – 3rd out of 4 rounds will happen on 24-25th of August, in the lovely Cesis Olympic center ‘’Priekuļi’’ skiing and biathlon complex! Fight for higher place in seasons overall standings will be tougher than ever – situation after 2 rounds – standings. This time not only the best and fastest local longboarders will compete but also guests from Belarus, Estonia and Lithuania! We can expect as usual great races in open, masters, ladies and junior groups!

Although the main event in this competition will be downhill race on Sunday, there will also be Speed trap and Slide contests.

Speed trap – riders who would be signed up for speed trap will have 3 runs down the steep side of Saules kalns measured by radar.

Slide contest – riders who would be signed up for slide will have 3 runs down the steep side of Saules kalns, where they would need to make the slides that are obligatory and also a bit freestyle.

Also every participant will have a chance to win a price in a prediction contest – in the morning of race day, based on their knowledge and qualification results everybody will be able to predict the top riders in the race – who gets the closest prediction wins!
