6º SSSA Mallorca Slalom Grand Prix – October 12-14
The event started on Friday October 12th with a welcome dinner & drinks hosted by the organizers (AMSS – Associació Mallorquina Slalom Skateboard) at the race HQ, the Wave House Hotel. Instructions were given for racers to be ready for the Hybrid on the next morning at 8:30m.
But it rained all night and continued to do so until 9:30am or so, when the sun timidly started to show. The organizers wisely switched the spot from the wet tarmac to a bicycle path that run alongside it that was going to dry faster. And it did, so by noon we could start with the Dual Pro hybrid. Winner was Joe McLaren, followed by Janis Kuzmins and Viking Hadestrand. Women qualis were next, won by Lynn Kramer, Lienite Skaraine second and Eva Jedlickova third. AM was next but qualis were stopped by a huge shower and the race was cancelled.
We reconvened at the Wave House for some surfing, BBQ and finger crossing, as the weather forecasts were not very good. In fact it rained overnight, but dawn brought some nice sunshine. The spot was a long road alongside a Golf course, with a good pitch and grippy tarmac so we were ready for some real speed!. We started with Pro GS and again it was a win for Joe. Janis was second and George Pappas third. In AM, Santiago Perez ¨Madsurfer” won followed by Petr Novotny and Dany Navarro.
As the sun continued to shine and we still had time, we run the AM Hybrid we had to cancel the previous day on a shorter circuit and single lane. Georguy Artemov took the first position, followed by Santiago Perez “Madsurfer” and Sebastian Volhorter. The race ended with prices and podiums and a wish for more Mallorca racing.
The race was covered by local and national newspapers and by the regional TV.
