Plans are well underway folks so stay tuned as this one is going to be a first!!

Interesting!

Urban X boat race??!! :woot:

How deep is it bud and how will the marshalls access the track, ladder? Just trying to warn of possible H&S nightmare! Looks great though and your first event was run really well so I sure this will be awesome. Good luck pal

logistics
 

Marshall access will be from special steps that have been previously built for access during other pool drained events. The pool is 6 feet deep straight across...no deep end so no need for armbands :woot:

Keep us up to date Stuart

More info to come at the start of next week folks, we are so excited about the way this one is shaping up already, keep up peeled for updates shortly :)

location and date?

Well, I know the location - pretty recognisable if you like art and the theatre and live in Birmingham!

we'll be there, enjoyed the last one!

:)
 

Great news that your up for a bit of Urban X fun again John, be great to have you guys race with us again mate :)

What size is the track going to be, it's hard to tell from the pictures :)

This event is going to be so amazing :-)

Really enjoyed urban x part 1

And the sequel is going to be even better.

Bring it on stu :-)

Count me in mate

Great news Stu. Looks a great venue and plenty to think about.

Just a few of my thoughts for the track builders. Astro is going to be heavy to get in and out of that 6 foot drop. Also you are going to need some sort of wooden platform underneath so you have a way of securing the astro. We wouldn't want the track lifting and I doubt the owners would want us nailing it into there pool.

At a rough guess I would say the pool is 10m x about 15 to 20m. Will definately be a unique experience.

How do we enter? what classes are there?

Gadget show
 

Is that where they film the gadget show??

Chill out mate, only the venue is sorted, it will be expertly publicised by Stu when the time comes :thumbsup:

sorry if i came over a bit of a arse just dont want to miss out on something like this :thumbsup:

Yes some parts were filmed at the custard factory and in that area of Birmingham.

Looks great - i echo the comments about getting the astro in and out - but it would be a great location. will there be a DJ ?

N

No worries, there will be plenty of time to book in, just keep looking on here :thumbsup:

The last one was great fun :thumbsup::thumbsup:
