does that merit disqualification - as the Urban Cyclocross was supposed to be for people without a racing licence!
as for those jumps - hmmmm, i get about (urban) town perfectly fine with straps on - without having to get off my bicycle every quarter of a mile to jump over a mini wall!
was hoping for obstacles more commonly encountered in the urbanscape,
youths throwing eggs perhaps (as has happened on Queensbridge Road, by Haggerston Park once or twice), could have been fluffy ones for the Nocturne!
a gaggle of youths on BMX / slack-chained mountain bikes (often seen about Hackney - requires slowing at the very least)
speed bumps of various sorts (the worst being the square sort - seen far too many of these on the London Cycle Network route from London Fields to Angel) - could have taken the form of mini wooden ramps
cars turning (or stopping to park) without first indicating that they're going to do so! (particularly annoying - often occurring on quiet residential roads) - could have used a mini-car electric vehicle style thingie with cushioning strapped to the back!
sure there are others..
