flavio: you have to put some trust into what experienced riders say troca is fast. we will build the ramps for this years event and these will add to the factor too. visit the event,skate the course competitively and then you are able to give comments on the cone setting. Don, I agree, like I alrea...

I think trocadero is steep and fast, faster then most hills, skate it first and then talk. No bad vibes, just that we go through this every year. 1,80 for the PROS great 2,00 for the AMS bad. Very bad acually. PK Oooppss, now I am getting the idea that the Trocadero is the Signal Hill of slalom ska...

Ok, I do see your point Marcus. maybe we could have different distances between cones for different types of events. So for example a Prime event would have x as distance between cones for the PRO´s and Y for the AMs and a World event would have X - 1 for the PRO´s and Y - 1 for the AM´s.

With all the respect, I am new to slalom racing in Europe, but I have been skating long enough to have very good reasons to say that the amateurs can do 2mts and some of them even the 1,80.

Hi Vincent;

From Schiphol (AMS Airport) you can take a train to Amsterdam (Central Station) , the journey takes 22 minutes and costs 3,60 Euros one way.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Btw Sam, this ramp is not high !! Check this one..... attached you will find Steve's new starting ramp project for the race season '08. http://www.cruisin.de/cr_ui/cruisin/u_169/pic_19695.jpg Remember they will have to built it high enough so that the wines will snap at that very last moment allowi...

Please sign in the following names on the AM Giant

John Deurholt , (by the way John will film the event for a iSkateboard Vidcast)

Paul and Bart Brunninkhuis

Thanks!

with many thanks to Pocket Pistols Skateboards

Hi Don,
I will set my Axe 2 to GS so I kind of hope it will more or less do the job.
I don´t think I will have any trouble getting down the ramp, it is getting up on it that worries me...

Confirmed, we will be 4 arriving Saturday the 21st hopefully around 11 am.
Can anybody tell me what the distance between cones will be?

Thank you for the information. See you on the 22nd, we will be either 4 or 5 skaters.

I will be there on April the 22nd. May I please have the exact location? Like an address or so? I will drive from Amsterdam.
I seem not to be able to find it anywhere in the forum.

Thank you!!
I look foward to meeting all of you.

Hi there, please check our Vidcast out.

Yes I agree Amsterdam is flat, but there are hills in some places. I am telling you are all in for a surprise.

Please be prepared for a GS race to remember. Bring your protection gear. Saturday afternoon we are all going to a secret location. A fast location.

Thank you

A race in Amsterdam, I've only been waiting for this since... before I knew what slalom was. Count me in. Can we start with the most technical course the first day and just open it up from there, something tells me my skating won't be improving over the course of that weekend. lol Good idea :-)

I won't tell, you've got to come over and check it out yourself.

I cant stay for the race, but i am coming to Amsterdam after the Hannover race. I would love too meet up with some slalom skaters while Im there. Maybe even get shown the cool parts of town by a local. Any help would be great, thanks. Hi Mike, What a pity you are not staying for our contest. Do get...

I will be there as well. I would like to compete if possible. Please let me know if it is OK?
