Slalom - Half Shell mandatory, gloves & pads recommended.
Freeride - Half Shell & Slide Gloves mandatory, pads recommended.

Freeride:
What's a freeride you ask?
It's basically just skating down the hill for fun, no pressure to race or anything.
Bomb it, carve it, or push yourself against your friends, no worries basically.
You can also start riding the hill from a bit further down if you're just getting to grips with speed.
Freeriding will take place throughout both days of the event, even when the Race is on you can still Freeride the hill in between racing heats.
