You may not be aware that the IDF is about to launch a new website. Since the IDF was founded we have tried to professionalize downhill skateboard and luge racing, but our website hasn't kept up with our needs. Until now...
In theory this was meant to happen last week but like any big tech project there's a gap between theory and practice. The big plus is this is not just any website but a complete race registration management system and database that will be super tricked. In all likelihood the monkeys that have been punching in the data for the last couple years in the back of the IDF sweatshop will get the sack and be replaced by space-age robots. What does all this mean at the front end? A very automated system of rider profiles, results, race registrations, and member management.
I'll get right to the important stuff: What's happening over the next few days.
