Hey, a lot of time passed since the race, i passed my rushes to Patrick Allan, but you would have waited a long time even to see only a picture !

So, here is the film, with semi and final runs of Allan, and one run of the consolation round with Dominik.

Thanks again for the race, all the Pirate team hope to come back soon...

HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric · Post by **HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 2:21 pm

Nothing to add except a BIG THANKS to our german friends !!!
Particularly to Don' who had the strong motivation to raise this event, for all the stuff ( everybody left with a little something, thanks for the car stuff... ), the good vibes and so on...
Also to Steve and his nice family, and Dominik who has taken care of all the french crew, as usual... ( you're welcome in France, anytime... ).
It was really cool to meet all of you, from switzerland, england and germany and like Ramon quoted, it's all about the community....

Some Pics I took. They are not in order (at all) couldn´t make a Link to our home server, because it just disappeared while a friend of mine moved out...bummer. Hope you enjoy them anyway......

We are all happy that all of you racers had a good time. The 2nd race in autumn will even be better!

Thanks for discovering this great venue, Frank and Olli. That superlong bridge could easily cover a leg-burning 1000-cone-marathon!

Thank you, Donald, for managing the timing-sheets so scrupulous while racing at the same time.

Thank you to everybody for coming and competing. All of you made it happen!
See you all soon in Paris or Hannover!

Thanks to all of you for the race, and specially Dominik, Gretta, Steve, Heiko and Donald for the whole week-end of fun in the bowl and everywhere else !

Here are my pics, i deleted a few of "sexy" Céline and the vietnamese "Kiss my ..." Fred, but what's really important is here, action !

A little movie realised by Patrick is afoot.

See you in Paris to run some downhill !

Ask "Hackepeter" for your giveaways !

Daniel Poweleit · Post by **Daniel Poweleit** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 10:49 am

Yes,

all the way from Berlin was worth it. I have enjoyed it so much to look at the pool riders on saturday. Really great.............

Slaloming against the all the friends was fun too. It was very cool and windy under the brigde,
but far better then the rain outside. Great location.

Donald has fast organized this alternative place to race. Ramps, course and timing were
very fast installed and the race begun.

Thanks to Donald and all the helpfull hands to make this weekend a fun weekend.

My brother and me have took the chance of early being out of the race to drive home
for a early arrival at home.

So we couldn't get a piece from the tons of giveaways.

But it doesn't matter. Great weekend.

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Mon Apr 03, 2006 8:41 am

it was a very nice weekend ! Thank you Heiko for the breakfast at your shop, pool session was killer ( hope to see some pictures soon!), race was not in D'dorf (due to the weather!), it was under a bridge in Leverkusen, but it was also a lot of fun to race and to see that there are some young guns popping up to show the european race scene who will be fast this season 2006 !! Thank you Donald for organising it, and thanks for the tons of giveaways !

Donald Campbell wrote:your wooden proto from last year could be good for that course

Ehm I don't think so. If the spacings are 1.80 and wider there ain't no need for such a short turny board. (Don't dare plan the same you did to "Homer" last time!)

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:17 pm

the design for the official raceshirt just got it in
everybody gets one for free

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 9:02 pm

your wooden proto from last year could be good for that course
so far we have
1 englishman
8 frenchmen
2 swiss guys
the german core(G.O.G. area)
berlin brats and other folks
some peeps from south germany(well known guys,hehehehe)
this is gonna be a good race with some good folks

Ramón Königshausen · Post by **Ramón Königshausen** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 6:16 pm

yeah, I agree it's a special! I can even ride TS with my C81 if the course isn't too nasty...

rmn

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 5:25 pm

sounds challenging !

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 1:27 pm

you could make it on the c81 i guess
spacing on the hill is 2m at the start and it goes wider into2-4m cone distances
the bottom starts with 1,80m again
that looks loke a special course to me,eh?

Ramón Königshausen · Post by **Ramón Königshausen** » Thu Mar 30, 2006 1:24 pm

But what about the course itself? Spacing I mean...

erst steil , dann total flat .....quasi erst rollen lassen und dann Gas geben !

that's what carsten posted on another forum

oh oh oh you will see there is a difference from 1 year ago to now.

no more rolling around but fighting with traction and speed on a hill-that's the new style

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:10 am
