Here is more info on the XSBA stunt events:
The XSBA has the Daytona Speedway for October 18th-20th. Friday they will have open practice for all competitors, then a qualifying session. Saturday morning they will have the media center inside the speedway for a stunt summit (all are welcome, bring ideas and solutions not attitudes). Then the rest of Saturday will be practice in the practice area (100'x500'), another qualifying session for the freestyle event. Saturday evening will be Freestyle finals followed by Longest Endo competition. Then Sunday will be more open riding in the practice area and exhibitions on the speedway. Entry for the comps. will be $100 for the freestyle event, and $50 for the endo event. Payout will be 100% of entry fees along with whatever XSBA sells in credentials. What that means is if you by your passes from the speedway the competitors get nothing, if you by you credentials from the XSBA at their booth, the competitors could get major payouts. I believe entry fee for spectators is $25 per day (not sure). Have any questions feel free to post em and I'll do my best to get you an answer. Lets show Daytona that we're nor a bunch of punks, lets show them that we're a legitimate sport. If this one goes well, they've (Daytona Speedway) agreed to host another during Bikeweek and they'll post the purse.

1st Ever XSBA event at DAYTONA INT'L SPEEDWAY!!!
(Daytona Beach, Florida; October 1, 2002)
An agreement was reached today to finalize an agreement with Daytona
International Speedway, which will see two XSBA National events! An
“XSBA Freestyle” competition will take place with practice and
Qualifying on Friday October 18th, with more practice and a Final Event on Saturday October 19th, and Free-ride Demos all day Sunday including the top teams and riders in North America.
We will also debut the fist ever “XSBA Longest Stoppie” contest on Saturday night October 19th, in an attempt to set a NEW World Record! Several riders are rolling more than 500 feet, and the current record holder Kevin Carmichael has set the mark at 660 feet with an unlimited approach. However, the approach at Daytona will be limited to 750 feet. This will set a new precedence for such an event hence a New World Record will be set. Documentation will be in place to certify the record with the Guinness Book.
Both events will feature the top Freestyle Stunt riders in North America including 2002 XSBA Freestyle Champion Matt "Thew" Blankstrom of 1096, Portland winner Chauncey Vieria of DTE, 3 time XSBA Freestyle top Qualifier Dan Jackson, Guinness Book of World Record Holder Todd
Colbert and many more. Only 25 rider entries will be accepted for the
Freestyle competition, with entry fees set at $100 per entry, and 10 riders will be accepted for the Longest Stoppie competition with entry fees set at $50 per entry.
Open Practice and "Free-ride" sessions for all competitors will take place Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. All participants, crewmembers, family and friends are encouraged to register and purchase credentials from the Formula USA/XSBA Credential office across the street from the Speedway. All credential proceeds will be contributed to the XSBA Daytona event.
Also at Daytona Speedway... the XSBA will host the first ever “Stunt Summit”. It has been discussed since May of this year at the first XSBA event at Summit Point Raceway, and it is finally here. Hosted in the Daytona Int'l Speedway "Benny Kahn" Media Center, on Saturday morning October 19th, at 10:00am. Everyone is invited to discuss the future of the Sport Bike Freestyle Industry. Rules, event structure, judging, marketing, promotions, etc... It is an open forum.
See you in Daytona.
