The IGSA World Cup Series left the European continent and moved to Eastbourne, England for Round #4 August 20-22, 2009. The first three rounds of the Series had produced three different winners with Louis Pilloni in Peyragudes, Scoot Smith in Argonay and Martin Siegrist in Padova. Mischo Erban was sitting on top of the point standings due to his consistently high finishes. Coming into Eastbourne he was really feeling the pressure to earn his first win of the season.
