The

Junior Ski classes for the 2005 World Finals. >>
MORE
NOTE:
One of the requirements for Junior Racers to race at the World
Finals is that all riders must show proof of medical coverage.
This is not required to participate at APBA regional events, as
the APBA Event Insurance policy covers riders beginning at 10
years old. However, we do recommend that anyone racing
have medical coverage as the policy provided is secondary
coverage.
