Ehm I don't think so. If the spacings are 1.80 and wider there ain't no need for such a short turny board. (Don't dare plan the same you did to "Homer" last time!)

rmn

he he he

7 guys / 1 girl...

....are ready for the Gang Bang!!!

So here is the Schedule for the weekend you suckers:

Saturday 12-14 o clock meeting at Concretewave Skateshop for a little brunch and maybe some shopping...

After that, maybe 15 o clock 2-3 hours Poolsession in Düsseldorf at the Factory Pool.

And for all the guys who will sleep in Cologne.

At 19.30 - 20.00 o clock there is a little art, skateboarding and graffiti show from some friend of mine. Entree is free. At 21 o clock there is the Video Premiere from Enjoi Skateboards at a huge Theater in Köln City, entree is free too.

Some Beers in a bar......

regards Heiko

So? Celine won over homer ? I was sur again...

it was a very nice weekend ! Thank you Heiko for the breakfast at your shop, pool session was killer ( hope to see some pictures soon!), race was not in D'dorf (due to the weather!), it was under a bridge in Leverkusen, but it was also a lot of fun to race and to see that there are some young guns popping up to show the european race scene who will be fast this season 2006 !! Thank you Donald for organising it, and thanks for the tons of giveaways !

Yes,

all the way from Berlin was worth it. I have enjoyed it so much to look at the pool riders on saturday. Really great.............

Slaloming against the all the friends was fun too. It was very cool and windy under the brigde,
but far better then the rain outside. Great location.

Donald has fast organized this alternative place to race. Ramps, course and timing were
very fast installed and the race begun.

Thanks to Donald and all the helpfull hands to make this weekend a fun weekend.

My brother and me have took the chance of early being out of the race to drive home
for a early arrival at home.

So we couldn't get a piece from the tons of giveaways.
But it doesn't matter. Great weekend.

Ask "Hackepeter" for your giveaways !

A little movie realised by Patrick is afoot.

See you in Paris to run some downhill !

We are all happy that all of you racers had a good time. The 2nd race in autumn will even be better!

Thanks for discovering this great venue, Frank and Olli. That superlong bridge could easily cover a leg-burning 1000-cone-marathon!

Thank you, Donald, for managing the timing-sheets so scrupulous while racing at the same time.

Thank you to everybody for coming and competing. All of you made it happen!
See you all soon in Paris or Hannover!

Some Pics I took. They are not in order (at all) couldn´t make a Link to our home server, because it just disappeared while a friend of mine moved out...bummer. Hope you enjoy them anyway......

Nothing to add except a BIG THANKS to our german friends !!!
Particularly to Don' who had the strong motivation to raise this event, for all the stuff ( everybody left with a little something, thanks for the car stuff... ), the good vibes and so on...
Also to Steve and his nice family, and Dominik who has taken care of all the french crew, as usual... ( you're welcome in France, anytime... ).
It was really cool to meet all of you, from switzerland, england and germany and like Ramon quoted, it's all about the community....

he dominik and frederic,

thanks for the nice pics - good job !!!!!

A few more for you Sven !

oh shit frederic two times smoking on such a high explosive and sportive event ... i think i was too nervous thats the reason why ...

Very nice pics ! Please note the red toy on the left side behind Donald ! Thats the price for the overall winner of the great western race series !

thanks dominik....looks like you really captured the important moments...whatever that means !!!...nice shots that sven put on cruisin too ...i love those blury "kondenzstreifen"-pics !!!
cheers from berlin

Hey, a lot of time passed since the race, i passed my rushes to Patrick Allan, but you would have waited a long time even to see only a picture !

So, here is the film, with semi and final runs of Allan, and one run of the consolation round with Dominik.

Thanks again for the race, all the Pirate team hope to come back soon...
