The following dedicated nominees went uncontested for their position on the first-ever IDF Racer Committee as Racer Representatives. Please give them a warm welcome to the IDF team!
Asia-Pacific Racer Representative Harry Clarke
We are delighted to have the 2019 World Champion participate in the Racer Committee. Harry Clarke almost needs no introduction, but just if you were wondering…

Why does he love this sport? His like-minded degenerate friends who partake.
European Racer Representative Pearse D’Arcy
With personality and style to boot, Pearse D’Arcy is a guy who is sure to be making friends at the campsite. But there are no friends on race day! He proved his point in 2019 by coming 2nd overall in the European Continental rankings. Must be the tuck of the Irish, I tell ya.

South American Racer Representative Sabrina Ambrosi
Chances are if you’ve lurked around South America in recent years, you’ve raced against the machine that is Sabrina Ambrosi. You’ve probably seen her on Instagram roasting workouts preparing to dominate next season, and it’s pretty clear she has a great amount of devotion to becoming the best! Sabrina earned some impressive results last year as the undefeated Women's Champion of her continent with a very honorable 3rd place in the Open Skate category.
