Shoot, I forgot about this. I could possible have gone a few days earlier. Probably couldn't have afforded it anyway. Hell I can't even afford Paris.

Have a goot time all!

Yeah Claude,

lodging would have been for free and the trip to Paris you could've possible made with chris...roadtrip...but at least. Tant pis...

So, the WC races are only on sunday?

Antonio

That's right. But everyone is welcome to join on Saturday (actually its only the name and points that make the 2nd day different.)


rmn

And how far is it from the airport to the Thalwil?

Well, there is a direct connection with the suburban train "S2" that takes you 30mins.

contact 0041 79 676 21 24 for pickup from the train station.

If you have any, travelling information, contact me via e-mail (ramon@airflow-skateboards.com), and I should be able to organise what you need.

PS: Don't miss the BBQ on Saturday night

Hoppe to see all of you ....

NO, IT IS NOT A JAZZ GIG, IT IS A SLALOM RACE!!!

Are there hotels in the area close to the race?

Antonio

There is one that is very close: Hotel Sternen - Map

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the rates. Maybe there is also a B&B somewhere around. I could ask some friends of mine who live in that town if they can recommend something...

and another one next to the train station, but that one is probably too expensive. ( http://www.sedartis.ch )


But anyways, most of us will be sleeping outside, in tents or at the local sports facility. And there is also a scouts headquarter pretty close to the race track...



More Hotels

If you have a good longboard, slalom, downhill of pool DVD lying around: Bring it with you!

Just found a B&B, but it's further away:

Dear friend,
sorry for not to be there....
I was not able to manage it with my family's duties.
We'll see us in Paris, but what about the 80 cones this year?

Congrats to "Minipogo" Christopher !

Hope that Michel is ok ?!

Yeahhhhhhhhhh, congratulation to Christopher.

Bon rétablissement Michel.
I hope that everything goes well and we will be happy to see you in good shape in Paris

HUGE thanks to Chris, Ramon and all the others for organizing a great event. The location was fantastic, so was the BBQ in the evening and the breakfast next morning. What more could you ask for ? Everything was just perfect and we will for sure be back next year.
We regret not being able to do the camping on-site, but I needed a real bed after my hospital visit.
Special thanks to Pia for her help during our hospital trip.
