Big Push 2009 (15th-19th September) - Website/Team info live now - Official thread

[anonymity]

Okay then - as it's the Champs tomorrow I better post/sticky this now.


All teams for Big Push 09 are now confirmed - along with their areas.


Click Big Push 09 to find out what's going on and to watch the Hold Tight crafted Best Of clip if you haven't already.


More info to come soon and daily blog apocalypse from every team once it starts.


As mentioned before - few minor changes this year including the following:

a) each team is allocated a specific geographic aea - hopefully meaning less repeated spots and a more comprehensive sessioning of the country.
b) each team are set regional specific tasks - i.e. everyone doing certain tricks at certain spots, set concrete parks to visit and film a line at, obscure trick list to fill out and, most importantly NBD challenges at one iconic spot per area.
c) This year the winner will be chosen 50% through online voting and 50% through points garnered through completion of set tasks.


More detailed info as soon as the Champs are done.

Not like we'd have been much better off having it in August this year though.
Weather's been toss!

Adidas and Shiner in place of Duffs? Interesting.
Looking forward to this one, should be a blast, regardless of weather. Last year's was plagued on a daily, incessant basis by the rain.

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a dickhead, the word "Wales" wasn't in the paragraph below the map so I just thought I'd check like. Cheers.

September is usually good weather, for the last 2 years we've held comps in September and the weather has been great. May, June, July and August on the other hand...(See Kiss My ASP in 2007).

Stoking.
