Fala Sammy, Make it technical, that is not problem actually that is the best way to go. I told Bruno that it would be a better idea not to hold the next contest in December, all flights are full during this time of the year and everybody wants to be by their families. Lets discuss this further via e...

Flavio Badenes

Bruno eu estava checando a possibilidade de ir e todos os voos estao cheios nesta epoca do ano. Tem gente achando uma ideia muito boa ir ao Brasil para competir, mas em Dezembro vai ficar muito dificil. Eu proponho uma mudanca de data. O que voces acham?

Flavio Badenes

What is the nearest to the event site Motel One, please?

Flavio Badenes

We will Vince. I hope to see you in Germany in October.

E isso ai, mas segura a informacao mais tempo que pra quando mandar...mandar uma bomba mesmo

Flavio Badenes

Damn Flavio!!!; this new asfalt feels like its a cement skatepark!!!grips like crazy...84a in front 80a in the rear...90 cones is what we came up with,60 tight ,30 giant alternating like this:20 tight(1,80m);15 giant( 2 transversal cones from one side to the other, included...it's a 5 lane ave.!!!)...

Flavio Badenes

In other words, organizing a contest requires a LOT OF WORK :-) What helps in the Brazilian situation is that skateboarding is a affordable sport for most people, brings with it the chance of becoming a pro and going traveling to distant places and the politicians simply LOVE IT. We have a tradition...

Flavio Badenes

For the ones of you wondering about the poster.....that is a very famous painting that shows the moment the Brazilian independence was declared. In my opinion they should all be riding skateboards instead of horses, but I think the lack of asphalt in those days had something to do with it.

Flavio Badenes

I guess he means the city of Sao Paulo, the city event Virada Esportiva ( 1 million expectators expected to watch the event on TV) and Gatorade. For the event in December, the third on in the city of Sao Paulo since August, we are having talks with Adidas, Nike, Coca Cola and TAM, the largest brazil...

Bruno, segura a informacao ate as coisas estarem mais concretas, assim evitamos falsas expectativas. O segredo e a alma do negocio.

Flavio Badenes

That is our new slalom course. I've set the cones 5 1/2 feet apart with 9 feet offsets. Yesterday we had an amazing session riding that course and some runs were filmed. That video below shows the slalom stoke we are spreading down here in my hometown, Porto Alegre/Brazil... http://www.youtube.com/...

In the meanwhile Flavio is back in the sewage tunnels underneath the city of Amsterdam, practising, practising, practising......

It is in Portuguese, so not really fun for most of you out there, but it has some interresting images of the Sao Paulo cup.
The girl is very good looking

Wait until she is done with her talking then the slalom part comes.

Isso ai. De agora pra frente so pode melhorar, vamos ver o que vai acontecer em Setembro.
E muito legal mesmo ver que a galera ai no Brasil esta voltando a fazer slalom. Slalom e uma tremenda forma de meditacao e a lot of fun tbm!!
Grande abraco e parabens pelo 5 lugar!!!!

Flavio Badenes

So que neste evento do fim de semana passado em Rotterdam, o WSR07
GARFARAM O SANDRO e o DANIEL de maneira escandalosa. Vexame para os juizes. O dominio cultural do skate Dinamarques e Filandes sobre o Holandes predominou. Ridiculo o resultado.

Flavio Badenes

Fair enough.

Let´s wait and see how things will develop.

Flavio Badenes

Ok. However after reading the information, posted in 2002, I wonder if that could be discussed again in the near future. In those days Brasil was not yet part of the the ISSA. For 2007: I have obtained the BASIC status for our first event. We have another one being prepared, I am waiting to see what...

Very cool. Flavio, one other thing. Tell everyone in South America to have no fear of posting on this board in Portugese. I hope no one is hesitant to use Slalomskateboarder.com because they know no English. The German, French, Russian, Italian and New Jersey skaters often post in their native tong...

I will wait for it .... we are now working at the next event .... if you liked the pictures, wait till you see it live :-) "First I thought it was 1,80m all in flesh and bone" I don't think you will ev...

I don't know any of y'all in South America and no nothing of air fare from Rio or elsewhere to North America.

I will be in Austria for a 10 day vacation. I will stay in the Walchsee. I am looking foward to do some slalom while there and ride the Cradle skatepark.
Is there anybody out there in Austria that I can contact?
Thanks!

And it is over. With good public and 64 competitors, very cold for Brazilian standards (6 C) and a lot of FUN, the Sao Paulo Slalom Cup happened last Sunday. The winner took home 1500 US$ and a unbelievable throphy, a 1,80mts throphy!! Please go to http://www.diorandi.com/evento/copaslalom/skate1/sk...

Expected temperature for this Sunday in the city of Sao Paulo. 6 C, dry. We have 64 registered competitors. The maximum allowed!! TV GLOBO will be on site. TV GLOBO is the biggest TV network in Brazil. We are ready for the first modern age slalom skateboarding contest in Brazil. Get ready, there is ...

It is not slalom but I think it is worth mentioning that the brazillian street skater Danny Cerezini took second place today in Amsterdam during the AmsterDamn AM 2007. Danny scored 3,000 EUR and a flight to Tampa Florida to compete in the World AM. Good to see another brazilian skater shining. Abou...

Flavio Badenes

This is my idea of what will happen: The park. This place is always closed to traffic. Streets: Trams will run, buses will run, cops will hopefully stay at bay. Lots of free space to skate, maybe lots of people walking in some places but....certainlly a nice long street hiden somewhere in the center...

Flavio Badenes

Hi Damien, I understand what your point is, but then my next question will be: What would be the point of closing the streets for traffic then? In all different cities of the world the streets are closed for traffic once in a while so that the citzens can use them for activities that are not possibl...
