[2005] European Championships, Stockholm, July 15-17, 2005

Hello Peter -- It was really nice getting to know both you and Marcus a little better at Morro Bay.

I am working on our plans to come to Europe in 2005 and as we discussed hoping to hit as many races as possible while we are there. So far it looks as though the Paris, Gruen and Stockholm races are not close enough together for us to make more than one. Looks like we will have some tough choices -- unless we win the lotto or something between now and then.

As for the Stockholm dates mentioned above -- we already have a conflict on our calendar since that is the same weekend of the Gorge Games/Hood River races which I think will be part of the American Cup Series again.

I'll be keeping tabs on what's being planned and want to book our travel as soon as possible once things are confirmed. If anyone has info on other races falling near the three major ones I'd really appreciate more info on those. Anything in Italy? Germany? Southern France?

In any case, looking forward to visiting with as many of you as possible in 2005.

PS -- I am listing all the Euro competitions on our SK8KINGS.COM calendar so would doubly appreciate being on the mailing lists of any of the event organizers reading this. Thanks!

Good job Corky! Too bad the French were in Bourges in 85... So you'll miss some great frenchstyle...
Why don't you concentrate on the year 84 instead???

Of course I was there I was (together with Nicolas, Christian,Bruno, fred and others) one of the guys who was organising it.
My main job when The Gonz was there, I think it was in 86, was to party all night and then prepare the breakfast, and then after a few hours sleep skate...
I also remember the skatecamp in Taby when McGill invented the Mctwist, and when with Lance and Claus they did their TRIPLE on the ramp,that was in 84.
Rodney was already doing impossibles and ollie flips... years ahead of everyone else!

I've been to the french camp in Bourges too ! I think it was 2 times.
There were Gonzales, Staab, McGill, Welinder, V-7, Pierre Andre, Jamie Mouse Mosberg, and others.
I think the name of the guy who did that camp was nicolas Malinowski ?
Have you been there ?

All the Circle of the Lost Berrichons (organising the skatecamp in Bourges in the 80's) join me in my sending my regards to all the Swedish vert and freestyle, and slalom old timers... as Etienne likes to call us.

C U There or earlier in Paris next season!

Great Carsten, I can’t promise you Ill land a McTwist, I’m getting old and I have started to smell really bad in the mornings, but I will try to make it down the course. For those with skatepark needs Ill just have to say, Stockholm’s the place. We got a big indoor skate park and an outdoors pool park (three pools actually). Besides this mentioned we also have numerous of mini and vert ramps all over Stockholm.

Hi Peter,
Köln will be again, like the years before, around end of August .
I hope Axel Fischer is going to organize it again.
..with lots of coneheads from the kindergarden !

I'm looking forward to coming to sweden and have some cool days !

The last time I was in Sweden was for entering the swedish skate summercamp in Helsinge. I think it was 84/85 ?! That was the one where McGill was performing the McTwist for the first time !

alavoine jean paul · Post by **alavoine jean paul** » Wed Oct 27, 2004 6:42 pm

Yes we LOVE Sweden !

I'll be there no matter what...

Svenska!
or svenskate rather, excuse my French!
P.S.: Is LOVE ...

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 5:42 pm

Hey Carsten, the dates are posted in the first text.
When is Köln?

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 5:19 pm

Best if I could call you, drop an e-mail to

Hi Peter,

It was great to meet you at Morro, even though we didn't get a chance to talk all that much.

Count Bahne and justpushplay.com in as a sponsor for the 2005 Euro Championships.

Keep up the good work!

Jack

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 3:36 pm

Vincent, thanks for your input. Yes we are very much so looking and like I wrote asking the rest of Europe if anyone else have plans on hosting the Euros 2005.

We don´t just claim the Euros, we want YOU the Riders to let us know what you think. Euros status or not, we will run a Big competition in july.

Vincent Berruchon · Post by **Vincent Berruchon** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 2:25 pm

Hi Peter

If I understand you ask for a popular approval for Stockholm as an Euro Championship?

Personnaly I'd like that, what an occasion to discover Sweden!
I hope to come. I suppose you'll confirm for sure the dates later

It's not bad that Euro Champs take place in a different country every year.

But to be fair, it could be better to know is there any competitors to organize the Euros?

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 2:19 pm

when will you do the contest ? before or after Cologne ?

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 1:13 pm

Hey Vlad, from Kazahstan we only allow Borat to skate.

Pierre-Yves Ritschard · Post by **Pierre-Yves Ritschard** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 11:32 am

that would attract many frenchmen, yeppa

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 9:24 am

I can tell you Pierre, the Giant Slalom gonno be a BIG long course.
There is a chance it will be a Super G. Whatever course we run, it´s going to be a fast one.

Niall Horton-Stephens · Post by **Niall Horton-Stephens** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 11:48 pm

Yeahhhh Baby!!!

Pierre Samray · Post by **Pierre Samray** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 9:47 pm

If there will be a true giant slalom I'll be there!
a good occasion to visit sweden!

Vlad Popov · Post by **Vlad Popov** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 6:21 pm

Even Siberia? What about Belarus? Kazahstan?

Somehow the idea of European Slalom Championships (or any decent major SLcomp)<b> with prize money</b> sounds more appealing than the idea of European Slalom Championships (or any major SLcomp) without any prize money...given that there is a good number of slalom competitions with a good prize purse.

Thanks!

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 5:58 pm

Vlad, you and your komrats are more then welcomed. We don´t care if your from Vladivostock. Russia is Europe, besides, if we get main status it has to be open to everybody.

I hope to see you there.

...and remember, at this comp, no one se poes

A EU championship with <b>prize moneyz</b>? Amazing! Who would have thought!
