The NASS Love Monkey Open Slalom Championships 9th – 11th July 2010
Once again UKSSA in association with NASS and Glastonbury Ales will be staging two days of Slalom racing at this year's NASS Festival at the Royal Bath and West Showground, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. Paul Nash and his team from Glastonbury Ales will again on site to slake skaters thirst as well as helping to sponsor our races. So pack your board, tent, and best beer drinking Vans and head on down to the West Country for the weekend.
This year NASS will feature a World Cup Skateboarding Competition on the Goliath Ramp with top riders taking part - including our very own Sean Goff! There will also be street skating, in-line, BMX, FMX alongside a host of other extreme sports, rides, stalls and try-outs. There is a good music line up this year including the very excellent Plan B plus the usual mix of drum ‘n’ bass stages etc. Oh and for you that missed them last year the “Loaded” girls are back!
Camping will be away from the main public campsites in the separate competitor area.
The layout of the site is slightly different this year and the competitor site is in a different area as usual Access will be limited to those wearing competitor wristbands (issued on signing into the showground) and will have 24-hour security. Note: you will not be able to take your car into the campsite.
Relentless, one of the main sponsors will be providing an "Athletes Lounge", access to this area is restricted and access will be by "Competitor" wristband only.
There are also numerous food outlets and stalls selling just about everything from burritos to cheap Vans!
There are medical teams present on onsite with 24-hour cover.

What we ask from all of you is that you sign up as soon as possible and make your payment by PayPal to: ukssa01@gmail.com
Please state that your payment is for NASS. If you are coming for one day please state which day.
We can take money on the day but would prefer if entries are paid by PayPal where possible so we don’t have keep cash on site all weekend.
As in previous years if your name isn’t on the list YOU WILL NOT GET IN. The organisers are VERY strict on this.
The format for racing will be:
Friday – Arrival Set up camp, courses and ramps
Saturday - Dual Tight Slalom
Sunday - Dual Hybrid Slalom
Qualifying will be the best time of two runs, one run in each lane.
Starting for qualifying will be individually timed, but in order to keep up the racing impetus, racers are requested to go within ten seconds of being permitted on course, with parallel qualifying preferred (i.e. racers going together ASAP).
Time and numbers (and weather) permitting, there will then be bracketing into two groups of 16, A and B Groups. If there are any delays then a single bracket of top 16 will be arranged. We are not limited to a particular finish time on Saturday so we may be able to cram in some additional races as well as!
Starting in the heats will be via the standard European system of 'five second warning', where, once racers are ready, a start will ensue at any point within the next five seconds. Anyone DEEMED to be jumping the start will be given just one verbal warning before being given the DQ penalty of 10per cent of the fastest qualifying time.
Cone penalty will be 0.1 seconds per cone.
If a cone is hit and remains either touching or in part of its circle then it is not to be counted as a penalty. If a cone is out of place on your run, then pull out of the course and raise your hand immediately. If cones are knocked out in front of you by the opposition's cones then do likewise. A re-run will occur. If these rules are deemed to be abused, then the organiser's delegated referee decision will be final. Even if wrong!
Further updates about NASS will appear on the UKSSA forum on this site.
