Just read this on another site (seems he doesn't know about this forum):

On 5/31/2007 clingfilm wrote in from United Kingdom (80.43.xxx.xxx)
What a nightmare.
4 hour plus drive to the airport and they closed the gate.
I am now booked on Ryan air at 6.45am to Duseldorf, however you spell it (its 2 am already)

If anyone know where the event is please phone the hotel for me and leave details.
+49 (0)511 / 87 57 30

Hopefully they have kept my room and easyjet have kept my return flight from Bremen. This could not get more complex.

IF ANYONE HAS A NUMBER FOR SKATERS OUT THERE ALREADY PLEASE CONTACT THEM. I should reach the hotel by midday or I give up.

Having a bad day, hopefully it can get better.

i post it few days before.
you can go from the airport to the hotel with the s-bahn directly.
the stop is messe hannover.

from city or mainstation or whatever take the underground number 1 to sarstedt.
the station of the hotels is called
Laatzen Bahnhof / Eichstraße

from there you go to the last station of the number 1, called sarstedt.

you will find more informations under
http://www.uestra.de

Karl Floitgraf · Post by **Karl Floitgraf** » Thu May 31, 2007 10:53 am

Which S-Bahn line do you take to which stop? Shouldn't be hard info for the organizers to post but one hell of a pain to figure out on this end. That hotel website doesn't give very good instructions.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Thu May 31, 2007 10:08 am

hey Claude, i will bring you some cones to the hotel today, but i´m not sure at what time.

Sam, thank you for posting the location of the hotel.
and thank you Carsten for posting the sarstedt location.

Maybe someone can post a map. i´m not firm with that and no time to post.
i post the way from the hotel. it´s easy in sarstedt. just ask for the Kipphut (the only hill in sarstedt)

now working.

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Thu May 31, 2007 7:58 am

That's what I found out.....

Departure: Mercure Hotel / EXPO Hannover
Destination: Sarstedt

but I don't know where to go in Sarstedt !

Richy Carrasco · Post by **Richy Carrasco** » Thu May 31, 2007 4:32 am

Detlef -- Can you please post driving directions or the address of the race location since it is no longer to be held at the Expo please? We'll be driving in later this evening and are not staying at the Messe. Staying at the Mitte instead. Thanks and see ya soon!

I was thinking it was far away and not easy, but if you know how do go easily that's great.
Lookin forward to skate the bowl with you

It's not right around the corner; you have to change the Strassenbahn once, takes approximately half an hour or so...we'll see. Otherwise we gather a few people

We are a few french leaving tomorrow evening to fly to Hanover, arrival at HLX airport: 22:50.

I was to share the room with David who finally didn't book as we said as he doesn't know if he will come...
I hope it's still possible to share a room booked for one person, or to book at the same price!

But my real question is: who will be there on friday with a car to go to the indoor skatepark during the day (Detlef said it's free for us)? The wooden bowl is great but you need a car to go there.

Claude Regnier · Post by **Claude Regnier** » Wed May 30, 2007 3:54 pm

We made it and Gary and Dave arrived later last night.

Messe/Laatzen 1 seems to be the best and closest stop near the Mercure - Expo site. There is no FREE internet at the Mercure. SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're doing laundry and we are at the internet cafe accross the road.

Dette if you have a chance can you drop us off some cones. There is plenty of space on the Expüo site to run some cones.

It's probably a good time for me to start practicing

Looking forward to seeing everyone here.

Flavio Badenes · Post by **Flavio Badenes** » Wed May 30, 2007 2:50 pm

Hi there,

I will be leaving for Hannover Friday very early in the morning. Would you have an address for the place where the competition is going to be held at?
Is it near the EXPO? Just give me the name of the street and I can get there. Thank you.

and..
I will be staying at the Formula One hotel. I am driving so I can help you guys with transporting racers to the competion site or anything else, just let me know.
See you all soon.

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Wed May 30, 2007 1:23 pm

Karl,

Thx.

Steve Hinzen · Post by **Steve Hinzen** » Thu May 24, 2007 2:27 pm

Thank you for the quick response, Dete.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Wed May 23, 2007 9:34 pm

hey steve,
the giant course is about 300 meters long. first 150 meters are steep, we will set the course very wide so you don´t get too fast. the fastest section will be the last 40 meters of the steep section. after that we pass a road that is flat for 20 meters. no chance to jump off the board here. after this road we enter the tight course. it´s about 6% here and we set the course more technical here (and fast) for about 70 meters. the rest is easy and the runout is flat and long.

maybe we build a special giant ramp for this hill.

Claude Regnier · Post by **Claude Regnier** » Wed May 23, 2007 3:10 pm

Dete! Thanks for the extra work. I know it must have been a tough time with 3 days notice. Looking forward too seeing you Paris.

Steve Hinzen · Post by **Steve Hinzen** » Wed May 23, 2007 12:24 pm

Dete, please tell us more about the giant.

The sign on your photo indicates a 15% slope. How long is this section? How steep is the rest? What maximum speed can be expected? How is the runout? Will Amateurs and Pros race the same course?

Further detailed information would be appriciated, thanks in advance.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Tue May 22, 2007 5:32 pm

last year we organised a race on the expo site as a part of the expo summer festival. it was cancelled 3 weeks before.
this year we organised a race on the expo site as a part of the expo summer festival and they cancelled the race three days ago.
for this year we find a new location with a steep slope (see pics before)
this place is 5 minutes by car from our mercure hotel.

we decided to move the whole world cup to this place. it´s called sarstedt. they will welcome all skaters and organise food and drinks. we will have a stage after the finish line.

all disciplines will be on a slightly downhill course. tight will be same distance betwenn the cones but in a wave line. special will be spezial, different. giant will be really giant (and 300 meter long) tight and special will be on the same road as the giant but in the lower section.

we where in the local newspaper a few days ago.
for skaters without a car, we will organise a shuttle service from the mercure hotel to the race site.
we are looking forward to organise a good major race. thanks in advance to christoph baumann, he is working on some special trophys and to donald, he will help us with the t-shirts. there will be a little money from carhartt and eastpak.
free food and drinks as last year and a nice pool session in the campo arena on saturday night.
if it will be rainy, we will move on sunday to the expo area. there is a big parking house under the ikea warehouse (but only possible on sunday)

that are the latest news. i will be in paris the whole weekend. feel free to ask me more about the hannover race. hope to see you all next week

Claude Regnier · Post by **Claude Regnier** » Mon May 21, 2007 3:00 pm

I'm so relaxed I put you all ASLEEP, eh!

We leave in a few hours, Yee Haw!

See you all soon. So how's the surface for the races on the Expo site?

Like the GS from last year?

Dete! Just wondering if you had been able to make arrangement for transportation to and from the venues.

I spoke to a couple of North American racers that we're wondering what was happening. We will not be booking a vehicle in Hannover but would be willing to spend a few Euro's back anf forth from the Hotel to the race sites if required.

Only 3 weeks till Paris, 4 - 2 - Hannover -weehoo!

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 9:15 am

Mercure Hotel / Hannover Messe:

if you plan to stay there, ask that girl at the reception for the best price!!

She will offer you 49,-€ double room per night..........but, don't give up asking her for a more better price ! There is one !

If you pay via credit card and book imediately you'll get 35,-€ / double room per night !

So you will have extra cash for some beer at the hotel bar !

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 1:39 pm

hey claude,
the road is steep and i would like to set a very fast course, so riders can enjoy the speed.
but a few difficultys makes it more challenging, so better bring a giant board for our giant.
i will set a giant course in advance, but it´s no problem if jason and chris will change the course.

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 11:46 pm

claude:
i spoke with dete about that issue already
he wants to seta course himself.
i still offer the possibility to have jason and cbark set the course for all.
they have enough experience to set the right thing for all attendants.
not that i want to take a way any glory from any other rider,but these two
would do a great job setting an appropriate course on that hill for all!

Claude Regnier · Post by **Claude Regnier** » Fri Mar 30, 2007 8:33 pm

Dete!

You mention challenging GS and bring soft wheels. Does this mean that is will be set wide or that the road surface is less then good?

Should we bother to bring a GS board or could it possible to to ride it well on a short board due the offsets?

Thanks, C you soon.

Sorry, no and no. I had just one day to visit about 100 pavillions (or at least so it seems).... I've seen no skater there.
BTW- last weekend I skated tight at about 1,50m., at full speed! It went very well, which I didn't expect.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Wed Mar 14, 2007 9:36 am

there will be no race on friday. we decided to have the competition only on staurday and sunday, but it´s possible to practise on friday as i wrote.
hopefully we end on sinday around 5 p.m. maybe earlier.
it´s no problem to go to the airport. there is a train from the expo area directly to the airport.
it takes 30 minutes to go to the airport maybe less than 30 minutes.

everything is around. the autobahn hits the expo area. just follow the "messe" signs
there are train, tram and bus stations around. i will post details later
