Longest Heel Slide Contest
This competition is FREE to enter and goes straight to finals
- Competitors take it in turns to run up and slide across the floor on their heels
- The slide length is measured from a fixed Start Line until the last moment that you were sliding on your heels
- If you slide or roll over on the floor your slide is only measured until the last part you were sliding on your heels
- If you pass over the Start Line during your run up you will have to take a slide again. This is a fault
- If you make too many faults you may be disqualified!
- Every competitor has at least two slide attempts in the first round
- The crowd and the MC will decide who the longest slide competitors will be to go to the final rounds
- There is only one winner who will be announced on the spot!
