National Glory
Scooter racing
in Australasia is
still in its infancy, presenting any player the chance of
national glory.
As Kickbiking
expands, official race meets will multiply,
culminating in the selection of an Australian
team to compete in the World Cup and also
World Championships.
The Governing
body of our sport is the International Kicksled and Scooter Association
(IKSA). They aim to take us to the Olympics. Given that Kicksledding
appeared as a demo sport in the winter Olympics, they're kicking goals.
If you think
yér butt's seen better days, take head. Most competitors in Europe
are aged 30+ and they look a treat.

Going

Euro-cup, Europe's premier Scooter Race for the past 6 years, KICKBIKE
is the undisputed manufacturers champion.

3sec, averaging 31.5kph.

open for an Australian to be etched into history!

Race Details
Event: Racing
in the Southern Hemisphere is still to get underway. In Europe
they already hold a bi-annual Eurocup series and
now in the alternate year they now hold the World
Champs, the first being held in 2004. Both
these events are incorporated in the World Cup 4 race series every
year.
There has been
no Southern Hemisphere representation at any of
these events, so we are looking
to add Kickbiking to Australia's list of competitive sports. We have
applied to hold a World Cup event here in
Australia.
