Not only will there be the exciting ramp to ramp aerial action, but Craig Latimer will be performing jaw dropping stunts on the arena floor. As if that weren’t enough, Jordan Szoke will be demonstrating the dexterity and agility of Observed Trials, one of his many disciplines. With some encouragement, Jordan’s four year old son, may just join his Dad on the course.
