Francis BREBNER explains: "This year the Worlds was meant to be in Dana Point once again, but unfortunately after hand shakes with the city officials that took place at last year IHGF Worlds, everything looked set for this year's Worlds.
But, then, the city said they have no funds, with such short notice there was no time to secure another location".
Newcomers and Old friends
That's the best line-up we can imagine with the World Champion in 2011 and 2013, Dan Mc KIM (photo) and the World Champion in 2012, Matt VINCENT.
And the Bressuire fans will also be pleased to encourage some of their favorite sons who have already shown their skills and their talents in the château : Peter-Karst BOUMA, Jimmy VAN DE WALLE, Sebastian WENTA, Craig SINCLAIR.
And also Scott RIDER who won the Stone Worlds in 2010!
With such a line-up, we are all looking forward to watching this world Championship in Bressuire.
In such a fantastic setting (photo), it promises to be AWESOME
