Well like they said, you can never practise the bank - although with all the money these top SJ'ers have they could afford to build their own one surely!
John Whitaker does have a small on in a field they use to practice for this class, I am sure a few would have something similar, even I have something which you could practive the bank on if it wasn't on top of a VERy steep hill.
Quite a lot of fences are causing problems this year, never seen so many refusals at the first element of the road jump. (Not that I remember anyway).
