Race in Italy and 3S – SLALOM SUMMER SKATEBOARD CAMP

VALLE D’AOSTA MOUNTAIN - AUGUST 2003



1° STREETSURFING SUMMERACE - SEAFRONT Genova 06.26.2003



Before leaving for summer holidays, I organized an open race for longboarding and streetcarving. The event was held on a 4% slope for giant slalom and flat course for special slalom.



The finalist after an hard selection were the best 4 times.



Federico Ferrero (Indiana) won the giant slalom easily with 2 fast and clean runs with a Father's class. His technique and gliding style, enabled him to be successfull with 15.98 sec.



Second place for the favourite Ottone Roby 'the Dragster' with 16.33 sec on an Indiana deck.



Third place for the younger (only 10 yrs) Andrea Ferrero (Indiana team rider), who was able to do almost the same time as Ottone, but with 20 kilos less and power too…

4th place for Luca Dellepiane 'Delle' (Silverspace) with 17.25.



After the giant slalom there was a downhill fun demo event and then we went directely to the seafront promenade for the special.



Ottone 'THE Dragster' was the best overall (he is able to push 10 turns of more then 100 mt. each without pushing by foot, with 9.35 sec., followed by Fede Ferrero 9.67 and Luca Dellepiane 12.01. 4:th place for Andrea Ferrero.



The combination and the STREETSURFING CUP was decided by a Slalomcross - DERBY pumping around this square between Federico Ferrero "the Fast" and Roby "THE DRAG".

Despite some water splashing out from a fountain, Federico was able to reach the finish line a couple of meters before Ottone and brought back at home the Cup.



At the end there was a prize ceremony and a beach BBQ.



SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER FOR TRAINING BEFORE EUROCHAMPIONSHIPS……gianluca

Successful SLALOMCAMP this summer, in front of Mont Blanc – Valle d’Aosta, one of the best ski resorts in Italy and not ONLY…



More then 20 young people involved in slalom session under the instructors coordinated by Gianluca FERRERO and some old staff of the Skate World Cup Italy 90.



We had also some 2 nice young girls, one from France 88 Y.O Lea, and one from Milan, Camilla that at the end improved a flat pumping on a tennis court.



Heroes of the sessions were Federico and Andrea Ferrero, testing the new fantastic wheels by 3DM sports, USA and training themselves for Euroskate - Antibes 2003.





EVERYBODY cannot believe to do slalom in such a fun and technical way, enjoyed all the courses traced by Silverspace and Indiana cones.



Soon all the pics and a warm BYE BYE to everybody for the next year!
