there is only one road where we can do a real giant and it´s a big problem to get this road. but we work on it. there is another road, but not that steep. this one is possible too. no problem to get this road, but a little bit boring, or some one is a genius in setting the course there. maybe, we will a allow motorskateboards on this course.

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 1:21 pm

what about that nice road where this spacy dutch pavillion is ? That could work for a nice GS ?!

Steve Hinzen · Post by **Steve Hinzen** » Thu Apr 13, 2006 6:44 pm

The roads near the Dutch pavillon are not steep enough for GS.
Last year's road for GS could work also on the half of its full length. The small road coming from the right side could work as runout.

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Fri Apr 14, 2006 7:30 am

hey dete
make sure the road is fast enough for a gs
a bit of scare is always good,gs should be fast and challenging not nice

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 12:05 pm

hey donald,

i know how steep a gs should be. there is only this one road from last year. i try everything,
to get this road. my favourite gs was morrow bay 2004. no spectators but a lot of fun to ride.

Paul Price · Post by **Paul Price** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 5:07 pm

I am trying to get a flight to Hannover, but they are expensive because of the Soccer World cup.

1. Is there a another airport nearby to check?

2. Will there be a race on the Friday? Or is it Saturday and Sunday only?
http://www.skateboardworldcup.com/ says it is 3-5 June

3. The link on accomm goes to the hotel. Is there a special rate organised for racers?
Do we have to call direct?

Hope to see a lot of you there!!!! cheers, Paul Price, back in London

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 5:28 pm

there are airports in cologne and düsseldorf,paul.why try to go to hannover directly?
your whole german team is located at those two airports.
you know that you surely get a lift and a sleeping place here.
so why bother to ask for a flight to hannover?
eh?

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 5:28 pm

guess that sounded like an invitation,right?

Ramón Königshausen · Post by **Ramón Königshausen** » Sun Apr 30, 2006 7:55 pm

Hum, you should have booked earlier. My flight only costs €78.- all inclusive.

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Mon May 01, 2006 9:02 pm

we got it sorted out ramon see you soon!!!!

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Wed May 03, 2006 2:39 pm

what about the registration, Dete ? There's only the 2005 registration available ?

Mike Cividino · Post by **Mike Cividino** » Wed May 03, 2006 5:42 pm

where is the best and cheapest place to stay for this race? Ill be travelling with my girlfriend.

We are not opposed to floor space.

Thanks.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Fri May 05, 2006 1:40 pm

hey guys,

sorry that i didn´t answer for so long. we have problems here in hannover. no giant slalom. sorry.

the website www.skateboardworldcup.com is from the last year. there are no informations for this year on that website. please read here in the forum.

Paul, you can book for that hotel with a special rate. only say, that you are in world cup competition.

Jani, i need the time measuring system

Donald, you will take care for your team member from the (small) island

You find cheap hotels under www.hrs.de or book a cheap etap hotel.
please use the internet. we have hundreds of hotels in each categorie

Competition only on saturday and sunday.
Side Event. We work on a Skimboard Competition. I hope you know what i mean.
Beach, Sun, Water, Girls, Action

Watch out for more to come in the next days

Steve Hinzen · Post by **Steve Hinzen** » Fri May 05, 2006 2:00 pm

no giant slalom

That's another bummer for today (personally reffering to the latest knews that some top-ranked boarders will not compete in Brixlegg).

Let's have fun anyway.
so...

where is the beach?
where is the beef?
where are the bitches?

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Fri May 05, 2006 2:40 pm

Hmmm...so no need for my new Pavel GS Board !

But Saturday and Sunday is for sure ?

Sven Lippert · Post by **Sven Lippert** » Fri May 05, 2006 3:45 pm

... no giant anyway - saturday and sunday is okay ... donald/steve we need PAVEL skimboards ... i only have an old wooden one but want a foamy now

Sven Lippert · Post by **Sven Lippert** » Fri May 05, 2006 3:55 pm

ahhhhh donald/steve what i forgot to say and didn`t want to write in the original thread cause everybody was pleased not to comment !!! i also feel sorry for the situation with brixlegg even when i know that it will turn out to the nr. 1 contest this year ... i know from personal talks, how much engagement and power you guys already put in the organisation and i even know that the big names are the salt in the soup but anyway i`m sure you guys will have loads of fun ... rock on in paris and we see us in hannover !!!!!!!!

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Tue May 09, 2006 2:45 pm

don´t worry. it´s normal. i was in morro bay two years ago. the only german slalomer. and i´m not the best one. so be happy that we have the worlds in europe this year.
everybody is welcome. they decide by there own.
for the future i hope that the world championship in slalom skateboarding will switch between europe an america.
and hopefully for teh ranking there will be an extra status that attract racer to move there ass.
i mean asses from all over the world.
and ...... we need a guideline for organizers, so it´s for sure that a world championship is a big event in evry case. spectators, prize money, race organisation, race courses etc.

back to hannover. we can do a skimboard gs. a good idea with the pavel foam skimboards.
hey donald you can use the shape of my board. it´s a sandy beach board from hawaii and it´s fast.

Detlef,

you wrote:

What is the name of the contact at the hotel, and their telephone number.

When we call the hotel they say they know nothing about the skateboarding race and discount.

What is the special rate? The standard rate seems to be 39 euro. Thanks and see ya! Paul

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Thu May 11, 2006 8:39 am

if 39.- euro is the rate for that hotel, it seems to be cheap for a hotel like that.
i try to contact the manager and ask, why nobody knows about our agreement for the racers. but, 39.- is cheap. if you want to try it cheaper, use the internet portal
www.hrs.de and search for hotels in hannover. if you book in the center it´s 10 minutes by subway to the expo area.
o.k. i try to actualize the website. the only problem is the money.

Jadranko Radovanovic · Post by **Jadranko Radovanovic** » Thu May 11, 2006 12:59 pm

Hey Dete

What is the name from the hotel last year we where all in. I want to book it again. Is that the one with the special rate??? But hey 39€ is OK although.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Thu May 11, 2006 6:30 pm

hello heiko,
for the third time in this thread. use the old website from last year.
www.skateboardworldcup.com and use the accomodation button to find to the hotel.
dete.

thanks for all the offers of help for our website.
a friend of mine will help me with that. so we need a few days.

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Sat May 13, 2006 9:53 am

o.k. i called the hotel. please talk to nicole höner for your special rate.
i think normally you get the room for 45.-
sorry, but i talked with them and asked for a better rate.
i think you get the room for 39.-
it´s a good hotel and i think the price is o.k.
otherwise check www.hrs.de for cheaper hotels

and don´t forget your skimboards. i hear that donald will shape some competition boards.
for more information ask donald.
hey donald i´m interested in one of your boards

Mike Cividino · Post by **Mike Cividino** » Sat May 13, 2006 5:22 pm

what is the name of the hotel?, the list on the old site gives many many hotels in the area. I would like to know the closest one so that I can book a room.

Thanks.

Ramón Königshausen · Post by **Ramón Königshausen** » Sat May 13, 2006 6:26 pm

I believe it's the Mercure...

hey detlef,

i had a short look to your website - does that mean we meet not at the EXPO Gelände ????

You mentioned as the location the "marschsee" - do you have an official adress ... a name of a street or something like that ???

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Mon May 29, 2006 12:36 pm

I understand that teh race side is near the "Maschsee" ??? And now there is a giant ?
little bit confusing !!

after that we have a 1 hour break
price cermony tight slalom
then we start with the qualification special slalom
7 p.m. beachparty and skimboardcontest
9 p.m. clubparty at the red light district or pool party in the campo arena

sunday: we try to realize a giant slalom at the expo area. we don´t have a permission for that, but ......, we are skaters. so we try it.
giant starts at 9 a.m. everybody had two runs, best run counts

12:30 p.m. we continue the special slalom at the maschsee strandbad
around 6 p.m. we have the last prize ceremony

what you get for your money:

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:30 am

giant:
i'll bring the ramp and the timing for the giant so we can have one.
that's what i spoke about with dete a few days ago.
so the giant is on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOYO SHULTZ · Post by **YOYO SHULTZ** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:34 am

If the weathergods mess this up....the Campo arena is a good alternative. I don't want to sound too pessimistic, but these days the weather is 'not stable' at all...go figure.
So bring your ramp decks as well....look here http://www.campo-arena.de/

Good to hear that Donald will bring some start ramps, so let's get going!

HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric wrote:is it a 2 days event or 3 days including GS ?!

For sure it's a 2 day event. I'm driving there on the Friday afternoon with the timer (for Special and Tight), so it'll be only 2 days for sure.

Oh great! I didn't think about that till now, but this wood bowl was great
thank you Yoyo to remind us to bring the ramp deck

What about a banked slalom in the park if we really have to much rain??

Detlef Rehbock · Post by **Detlef Rehbock** » Tue May 30, 2006 3:52 pm

we will have good weather at the weekend.
o.k., if not we move to the campo arena. i spoke with the owner.
they are ready for us.

Donald, please can you bring the secon ramp too?
as an alternative we can have a slalom in the campo arena. (30 Cones are possible)

f#@k, what am i saying? we will have good weather. i want to use my skimboard on the weekend.

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Wed May 31, 2006 9:03 am

The weather looks good !

See you on friday !

Sam Gordon · Post by **Sam Gordon** » Wed May 31, 2006 3:18 pm

Seems the weather's looking better than last year: http://weather.boston.com/?code=EDN0. Blimmin' good!

On a different note, the 'How To Get To' section on Dete's site has yet to be started, so I need a bit of help on the ol' guidance front.

Is it possible to get to the Hannover Messe Hotel using public transport? I can get to either of the Messe Stations (Nord & Ost) on the Stadtbahn, after that the trail goes a little cold. Is it far to walk from either of these?

Similarly, once arriving at the Messe Hotel, is it easy to get to the race site using public transport from there? And does anyone have an accurate location as to where the Maschsee Strandbad might be? It sounds like the sort of place where MEN hang out in leopardskin Speedos. Might pack mine.

Or, is it easier to hire a small car because of the many varied locations?

Thanks in advance for the directions,

Sam

Heiko Schöller · Post by **Heiko Schöller** » Wed May 31, 2006 5:12 pm

HI Sam

I will post some more Infos tommorrow. We all stay at the same hotel (Mercure). So don´t worry we will arrange it to get you guys to the strandbad (racetrack).
Carsten and I will arrive at the Mercure about 22-23 o clock on Friday. See you guys in the Hotel-Bar?
