3 different races at 3 different locations.
race #1 will be held in cologne/hürth.prepare for a very technical giant with good speed and lots of slides and also for a technical special.we do have starting ramps and a trakmate timing at hand.
all the money from that event will go into 2 start ramps which are easy to transport and which might be used for the first time at the second race in essen december 18th.
race#3 will be in düsseldorf beginning of next year-exact date will follow.
guests from abroad will get a special rebate and pay 10 instead of 20 as the locals do.
icluding free t-shirt.
so the french are coming?
retalation,eh?
prepare to skate our bowl too
accomodations are available.

Great to hear some of you French Pirates want to come to the race.
We are looking forward to meet you again.

Don't worry about accomodation. You will be hosted. It's just got to be organized.

Let's pray for good weather! This automn has been very generous with us for now.
In case of rain we might have a (flat) outdoor spot under a big bridge as an alternative.

the race in april will be somewhat different from the G.O.G. triple crown series we are doing right now.G.O.G is a "three different locations in 3 months" race series,similar to the outlaw stuff hackett's been doing recently.this means you can collect points in all three races,where finally the overall winner will be declared.for the "Great Western" i will come up with an equivalent t-shirt design to satisfy your needs.

I'm finally unable to come this week-end... S#@t, I'm so desapointed... :(

have fun!

cheers from circle town and a nice weekend

oh man svenne points are added at the end of all three races to determine the overall champ.
we won't show any mercy for any visitor-we will race hard and give our best,we have to defend our hometurf.inbetween you will see guys with no helmets,beer bottles in their hand,bad vocabulary,the sound of sliding wheels and laughter might interrupt the overall bad impression people will have when they read this.
the bowl is always within short reach,in case you didn't slam earlier.shirts are there too
good stuff-or else nobody will buy one.

Svenne, if You knew what these points are good for, You wouldn't have said that.
Cheers, mate!

Here's the exact location on the map, thanks Axel!!!
Entry fee is 10 euros for all, collected funds go into new stuff, so the money is not wasted.
Start at 12.00 pm bring your gs and tight boards.
Since this is an outlaw race again, the rules:
NBA-no body-armor
NHN-no helmet needed
NKA-no klappspaten allowed (thanks Heiko YOU DA MÄN)
NBHA-no bicycle helmets allowed
HGSRR-home-grown start-ramps rule!!!!!!

GFI-GO FOR IT

again-this is outlaw, don't expect any gogo girls lapdancing at minus temperatures, all the French who survived the bowl have to shred it up at the course. Avilas are a good wheel choice for the giant. We also have a few newbies coming to the contest, girls, Vincent, girls!!!!!


Follow the rules to victory.

The core crew of dtown and cologne will show up-expect no mercy, prepare for good laughs also. we have enough sleeping places for all our French friends-so do not delay go for it today.
Any French girls coming? (need to know that for the shirts)

hi guys,
best wishes to germany and good luck for the race. i can not be there because i am at the real triple crown event on north shore.
last week i saw sunny garcia, mick fanning and all the top surfers at the first triple crown at the op world cup in haleiwa. this week is the second triple crown, the oneill world cup at sunset beach and in december there is the big final with the rip curl pipeline masters.
i will be there. my goal is to surf all the triple crown locations on one day. hopefully i make it and be back for the next season of great slalom racing.
good luck to gog.
dete.

Due to rainy weather anounced for sunday, there will be no race this weekend yet.
Let's hope for next weekend or later.

Winter in Cologne generally takes a short break around Christmas. That means some "warm" and dry days.

We are ready. So stay tuned.

How is the weather?
Is there still a lot of snow?
As we don't go to Stockholm perhaps we could come, but if too much snow we cannot take the risk to be blocked by the snow on the roads.

no snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is only the first 10 starters we had 17 all in all nice race good course/mixture between special and gs,good vibes fun race

thanks to vince,david,adrien,and charles for coming all the long way from paris to race with us.

we missed a few other folks who said they would come but didn't,these people know who they are,guys you missed a good session on a good course.
steve surprised the rest with fast and stylish runs and went all the way through 3 races to the first place-he was on fire today.vince was really close behind him,but had no chance to touch him.heiko had no chance at all to catch up on the other two guys.so you could say vince brought victory back to france after the last pirate race in paris when heiko was the man to beat

pics and video will follow very soon to keep you all entertained.our french friends did a lot of filming and they will post pics soon enough.

all in all we had a fun weekend with our french guests and we all want to say "thank you" for staying with us.
