 This 2nd challenge and 3rd birthday was sunny again!!!!! A very cool event with BMX, skateboarding and Rollerskating friends. Franziska Scholz was there too, skateboarding hard against the sun ;-)
For the comp, you have to choose your category: pro or amateur. As I didn't care, finishing last of the pros, I choose pro. Like this, I also let some places for youngers (Ok I know what you are thinking: everybody was younger...) in the AM category. As everything never works totally as you intend, there were few pros, and I finished third ;-) behind Greg Maury (1st: 150eu) and Nicolas Colliaux (2nd: 100eu). So this year, no cup, but price money for me and of course lots of fun from 10am to 19:30pm, huhu !!!!!

Here are some shots from Guy
More picts on his page and detailed results very soon!!!!

 That's one of the curses of digital image capture. People take way too many pictures. It's impossible for me to sift through this massive amount of pictures!

Franzi Stolz gave me your regards. Many thanks for that! I couldn't be there since an old friend and his wife celebrated their birthday and I hadn't seen them in a long time.

 What is with all of the people at the open end in blue shirts??

Also, I love how that ramp has a massive roll in, a gap, and a bowl end!! Did anyone ever air the gap successfully? Were you the only quad skater there? How many people competed overall? Details, man! I want details!!

If you play the pics quickly, it is almost like watching a video.

 The blue stuff are sunbathing chairs, no?
Bowl is cool and smooth now. Grinding it's corners are fun.

I've seen BMX, skateboards and inlines airing the canyon.
On previous sessions, also doing rotation on it (Taig Khris). One did the gap landing straight on the coping with a long slide on it.

I didn't try the 6.5m roll in yet, as I should have to turn on my wrong side parallel or backside sidestance, trying not to air, cause it would be too high for me, haha.
But the 3m wide canyon is tempting......trying first parallel or sidestance, that is the question!!
For the rsk8ting comp, we were fewer than 10 (7?), as there was another street comp in Le Mans (200km). I was the only quad skater (oldschool in all the terms), but there could have been another one that use to come. So beeing third was quite easy....
Qualifying for final was the hard part with two 45" long runs. For the final we were 4, session organized as a jam session. I was wondering to try or not the canyon to keep my rank at the final...but the forth didn't come....

So next year, there could be more quad skaters than inliners, that is easy task if spaniards come, and lets dream why not US and Aussies!!!!

cheers
