First Point
Ramon it's a good think now you seem to realise your atitude wasn't corect, expecialy for someone who has the statut of marshal (may be too heavy for your young shoulders). And I'm happy for this. You must understand organizers are responsable of the security on the course area. At this moment we were really afraid of what could happen. You was angry that human but I'm sure you'll control yourself better next time. Remember the tennisman because he was angry, strike a ball through the court un kick a boy's ball , he apologized but was preclude immediatly of the tournament with a strong money penality. Tennis is so far from slalom skateboard. But know that people who stay neutral on public forum have bad opinion in private message about what happen this week-end.
Know that in downhill IGSA races, a black list exist with people unfair, dangerous, uncorect, who don't pay registration, lost always there bip number... Organizers are able to refuse them.

OK all is said Now For me this incident is closed.

Second Point.
You pass the special slalom with a giant board : Congratulations! when racers as Chris Hart, Paul Price our Manu Frei hit 8 cones. When racer as Robert Thiele (one of the best european AM) come to tell me the slalom was too difficult for AM and make me change it for them.
My only problem is that I want to make every racers happy and try to do my best for that.

You are one of the best racer in the world but I can't listen only your point of you to make a slalom.(and believe me : I listen you as I listen everybody...you're just more nosie and insistant than the other) I have to consider the 40 others racers.
In Grenoble you were only 8 in pro class and I make a special for you. And only Janis and you can make it without penality. Finally I can read here you'd like it. This make me happy.
About the tight I annouce one month ago 1m70 so no surprise for nobody.

Third Point.
Donald you're right for this point. Important to reflect. Do you speak for yourself too?
It's may be now time to finish this sort of small war of gang. Very bad for the very fragile world of slalom. Only coming on this topic to criticism Grenoble (and before that, Antibes). Ok the stadium is flat and after that? Racers make a great show. The dual between Janis and Ramon was epic!
Unfortunatly rain kill our big giant!
I want peace for our sport. Anyway if it's Flat or stiff. Slalom need all of us, all those are working to organize with small or big possibility, with or without money. All these people merit the respect. We're all passioned people and it sometime make us react wrong.
I don't forget you put the best giant I ever race Donald(except La Garoupe hé hé!) I'm open to speak about slalom with you without trouble if you're agree.

Fourth point :
I want to thanks again Philippe from Desaxe and his staff who give us everything to make a great slalom event.
.
And last point : Excuses my english witch is craps

Have a good night

Maybe yes, maybe not. From what I can tell you is that I just finished school (J'ai passé mon bac) and that I now have plenty of time to work for ISSA organisation. It's not a question of lacking experience, burden or age but it's a matter of motivation, which I have. And therefore I would like to apply for Status Marshall in 2009 also.

You are one of the best racer in the world but I can't listen only your point of you to make a slalom.(and believe me : I listen you as I listen everybody...you're just more nosie and insistant than the other) I have to consider the 40 others racers.
I see the point. It seems like the slalom (Pro) scene is twofold regarding the question of how courses should be set. There are specialists for GS and HS and there are specialists for TS. However, I hope we can solve that issue in an adequate way somehow. Maybe we can't.
I want to accept and respect less technical courses. But what I'd like to tell you is that what really fascinates and motivates me in our sport is the fast and technical change of direction in a demanding course. Moving my body instantly from one side to the other, not knowing if I'll make it or not. I'm having a hard time to understand people that are going for the so called "dry hump" (wide gates, pumping only).
But yeah, let's be patient and see what the future brings.

In Grenoble you were only 8 in pro class and I make a special for you. And only Janis and you can make it without penality. Finally I can read here you'd like it. This make me happy.
I'm sorry I forgot to tell you. It was well done indeed, and I really mean it! Thank you.

I want peace for our sport.

A big plus: The City was really standing behind them. So what I coul think of is having 3 different venues in 2009:

GS in Seyssins
Straight in the Stadium
AND
Hybrid on the former GS slope of 2007.

Thank you to all involved in this Desaxe-slalomskate contest and festival. It had all the makings of a nice festival. On the Sunday it was the best to see all the children of town playing skateboards and ramp. Back flips on bikes are also spectacular. Sandrine and Guilliame were good sports. Nice to see so many of my Facebook friends there at one table.
On the Saturday of the contest, inside at the warehouse, I got to see one of the filthiest toilets ever. The Ams were really battling it out. The round of 16 was intense. The skateboarding was fun, the vendors trying.
I got to see the Alps at Grenoble. I had a nice time in Amsterdam after. The plane stopped there so I got out for a few days.
At home I was missing the Board Meeting, although this year it was raining. They go anyways for a good time.
Next year?

Thank you all the riders who came !!

You will find my pictures on the CND gallery :
http://www.descente.fr/index.php?option ... 0&album=90

Yes, Philippe the event organizer is planning to do a third event.
Still a Main Status, same spot for the GS, still in the city stadium for the thight/special races, and with some change in the dates because we would like to do the event under the sunshine yeah !!
(and avoid the toilets of the indoor spot, you're right Joyce...) :)

The dates would be :
27/28 june 2009
or
6/7 june 2009
or
13/14 june 2009

It will be decided in a month i think.

Ramon, what you are planning about would be for a fourth edition...
The GS will be the same, but the main avenue downtown that we had last year is really hard to close ! I'm not even talking about keeping apart the whole organization on three different spots.

The support that you got from a city is depending of the success of your event. I'm sure that all the riders who came enjoyed the week-end, but looking at the numbers of registrations it's not glorious for the credibility of a World Cup event of slalom skateboard.

And this year, despite the excellent event that we had, it was really a shame considering the numbers of riders, even if the whole event looked good...

And, Ramon, another thing where you could show the example : you and the 5 others riders who didn't bring back their number t-shirt can send them to the organization :

Exon international / DéSaXé
42 rue Saint Robert
38120 Saint Egrève
France

Thanks ! ;)

Alllright. Even though I now have #1 and #2 I was going to make a collection and take #3 next year. However, Desaxé will get their Bip # back. Sorry for the hassle.

Tip for next year (for not so disciplined riders ;-)): a bring-back fee

Hi, the videos are finally ready. (450Mb)
Today I've sent some "specials" (videos about certain riders) to Hervé, Franco and Guillome.

If you also would like to receive a video about yourself, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Of course contest organizers may receive a FREE freestyle/slalom DVD (incl Lyon and PSWC 2007) by regular mail, so if your name is Samray, Söderhall, Königshausen or Galindo, just let me know if you're interested.

All videos with a total of about 440 Mb are available for download until Dec 23, 2008 via http://www.steekr.com/n/50-17/share/LNK ... cf2f7f713/

You can also upload your own video files there, but only videos about Grenoble please.


Some other -2007- online slalom videos (but only valid until Dec 31, 2008!):
