“The amount of applications from around the world was epic” IBA DK Rep Clayton Pickworth said. “It just goes to show how highly regarded this event is and how much a wildcard position means to the riders”. “Unfortunately we can’t give these to everyone, but there is still a chance for another 8 riders to get a position if they are in the top 8 from the trials event at Sandy Beach” Pickworth said.
