2pm - Best Trick out the 'One Footer' - Go to between 2.20 and 2.30 in the promo vid to see the 'ramp' i'm referring to. difficult.

3pm - The dsab doubles Livi Lackey Tournament - Yet more tag team fun to be had. This comp was such a laugh at King of the Coats that it had to be added to Livi. 2 riders (or more) pulling the best doubles/tag team/bike swap/whatever moves. 20/30 min jam.

4pm - The Tank and Yank High and Long Jumpathon - Out of the main flatbank facing the bowls, high and long jump combined.

6pm - Walla Death Session - Oh ee oh ah ah, ting tang, walla walla death wall.
