The symbolism and spiritual importance of the number three can’t be overlooked. The number of divine perfection, our Earth is the third planet; there are three primary colours and three dimensions to a solid object. This year brings to us the third of The Burton Black Metal rail jams, and we are using the experience of the past and the input of our team to make this the best ever. Once again we will be visiting all three fridges, and unveiling the latest creation from the mind of Hamish McKnight, a three box set up some nine meters long, including a c, down flat down roller and straight box in the selection.
The format of the evening is to follow the rider driven jam session of years past, which has proved successful in pushing progression and keeping it fun. The past has been winner takes all and just the joy of taking part for all others. At all events the highest placed rider with out a board sponsor will receive one of three custom made Black Metal boards and the top three finishers, from each night (nine in all) will be invited to the super final (to be held at Tamworth after usual program) to battle it out for the opportunity to travel to the Burton European Open with the Burton UK Team. In this modern age of equal rites we are extending the challenge to the ladies, by again inviting winners of the three events to a final, where a trip to the open and limited edition board, Burtons all new Gtwin, are also up for grabs. As extra bonuses for the first night at Castleford, the new British movie Hungerpain will be showed off the slope, and riders will have a chance to earn themselves a section in next year’s movie, by impressing those of the Hungerpain crew and at Milton Keynes there is a chance to win a holiday with CSB.The Burton Black Metal will be visiting; Castleford on Saturday 22nd October (7-11pm), Milton Keynes on Saturday 5th November (7-11pm), Tamworth on Saturday 19th November (10pm-1.30am)
