Hey guys, Good luck with organizing the event, sorry for being such a wanker and not helping you much, if any. I am certainly taking part in it, and will probably bring a beginner with me, so the word is spreading! =) Since plenty of folks are coming to the event - do you think it is possible to ask...

Hey Flavio,

How about a piece of a slalom in Diemerpark on Thursday? Today I am at Vondelpark again but later - I am all yours ) Or, if you insist, I could join you at Diemer today.

Keep on riding!
Vlad

Yo, Sensei

Always! =)

FYI, whenever there's a dry evening - I practice flat in Vondelpark, along with occasional street skaters. So if somebody feels like filling an evening with a bit of pumping activity - be free to join me. It's not as cool as Floriade or Diemerpark of course, but cool anyways. Good riding everyone! P...

Thanks everybody for this great experience, good race, good weather, amazing people, unforgettable pool skating, Pavel factory, monster ramp.. it was my first real European race, I sucked but not too hard, can't wait to see you all next time. Some pics from the event can be found on my blog dump pag...

Hey everybody, Is anybody slaloming in the evening today? Something around +19-00? The weather looks promising so far. Unless it is snowing in a few hours - it could be a nice evening. Hey, Flavio, I tried to call you but it looks like the number I got redirects me to some answering machine. Is that...

Crap! I've left my phone at home today. I'll check it out as soonn as I get back, which should be in a couple of hours

Oh, flat pumping can be tough too, I am sure you know that =)

Vlad

Hey, Flavio I saw your post yesterday but had a very intense evening, including Jessica Alba taking a shower in "Pathe" theater, so I couldn't reply to you straight away, sorry. It would be great to skate together. I have posted my phone number already - so if an evening is dry and you feel like mee...

Thanks for the reply, Jani

Paris is just a couple of hours from Amsterdam and I was planning to meat up with some folks from Moscow there anyways.

Yes I am interested ) What is the price (average)?

Thanks,
Vlad

Yesterday evening turned out to be dry so I decided to try out some Vondelpark lanes and open this season at last (it's so rainy, jeesh!). No pics, so you just have to believe it. Vondelpark is a nice place, 95% flat, not surprisingly though. Next month I am moving to live 1 block away from that are...

What about skating in Ikea underground parking or elsewhere? I don't have any hope left for a dry weather any time soon. Does somebody plan to do it?

Hi Cyril,

Thanks for sending me a message. I've been bicycling around local parks on Sunday. There are some tempting lanes worth trying, though flat. All that's needed - is a day with no rain. Hopefully there is something in April.

Regards,
Vlad

Hey, folks,

If your plans change - would somebody please drop me a message?

I really really looking forward to that event and dont want to miss it.

Thanks in advance,
Vlad

Finally! I am getting my bike on Saturday, so unless I am hit by a truck, I'll be there.

Looking forward to.

Hi everybody, If anybody feels like practicing a bit in the evening before the weekend - just drop me a line. My feet are itching to do some practice already, and it looks like there's no good asphalt in Amsterdam (is there?). I finish at 18-00, so we've got a couple of hours at least, I think. Vlad

What about the Ikea Garage? I don't mind some french slalom or pumping flat, really =)

Oh, if anybody can drop me a message in case you decide to go - coz I am not sure if I wil be able to access internet tomorrow - I will owe you a beer.

C'mon, guys! Nobody? Seriously?!

Hey, ppl

Is anybody going to ride on Saturday or\and Sunday? I'd love to join somebody.

Cheers,
Vlad

Oh, thanks for all your replies, riders I am definitely going to free up this Sunday (or whatever the day you choose) from any plans to do some skating. That would be wonderful! Cyril thank you for your proposition to pick me up as well, if you think it is fine for you, - just tell me where I should...

Hey Silvio, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I am not that good in Dutch so far to understand much what's going on in the local forum, even the registration is a bit tricky, apparently asking for some extra letter confirmation to prove that I am not a spam bot, and it's all in Dutch! =) So, if, ...

Hey, folks I have just arrived in Amsterdam a week ago. I've been previously riding with Vlad Popov in Moscow, PhD. I am really looking forward to slalom with the local community. However "Floriade" or "Harlem Ikea" doesn't speak much to me. Could somebody tell the exact address of these places or h...
