I was passed this and I've been meaning to share this for a while. While away your lunch break with this programme covering slalom and an early race at the washburn in 1985 - anyone recognise anyone?

Anyone fancy a 3 1/2 minute course at this year's washburn races? (or going back to wooden paddles, skateboard helmets ...)

Re: 1985 Washburn Div 2 Video
Thanks for sharing, Les
Great quality footage. My first season was '85 but I was spending my time mainly upside down in Novice races.
I remember watching a Div 2 race on the Treweryn that year. My memory is a bit fuzzy but I recall Div 2 skill levels in that race seeming to be a lot higher than today's Div 2. Yet looking at the Washburn film, I would say they are about the same, 30-odd years on. What do you think?
