Viiinnnzzzzz the G.O.G (Gang of Germany) is thinking about to come to your next race. We will see what the weather will be nothing is sure yet but we are planning...

FSU
DON

it would be nice to race with you all!
English participation for the first edition, and now perharps GOG for the second.
yeah Pirates Slalom Race look international

Great!
It will rock for sure with GOG!

Here are the plans:
Long parallel special slalom (if we can we'd like to have an hybrid special/giant at the end )
in the Bois de Boulogne
but we canl change the spot depending of the weather conditions

You can arrive at 10h30 (parisian nights are not favorable to sleep, ask the brits)
Qualifications should begin at 11h30

On saturday, if you're in mood for skatepark we can go to Vitry (www.rollerparc.com) al together.

I've worked at bit on the site, still a lot to do (mostly in french for the moment):

Yesss!

If the weatherforecast is promising, a carload of GOG-members will invade.
What about arriving at saturday night? Anybody in Paris who could host us, please?
It`s all about a low budget trip, you know. We pay with german beer.

Let me tell you: You guys will be in trouble beating Fred !

i just picked the first names i thought of actually, starting with David, and then i thought of the other fresh kids, Panda is pretty fast too.

I wish I could beat Heiko or Steve.... even VinZzZ...

Patrick! No one will beat Patrick...

Don't forget guys, there is no price money for the First One, but the last one will have a free night with a" lady of the Bois de Boulogne...."

I will definitely be there that time!!!

yesterday we had a good session on the spot, despite it was crowdy because of the nice weather....

let's hope we'll have the same weather on sunday!


and a skatepark session is a good idea for saturday

Looks like the 'Ladies from the Bois du Boulogne' have been slalom fans for years.

Here's their poster for the 1945 'Resistance Race:'

Even then, slalom was an underground movement. This is why the cone symbol was duplicitously depicted as a ray of light.
However, local behaviour has improved.
No longer are scantily-clad elfin pixies kept under every cone.

Perhaps regular criddling forced the tiny beauties to seek alternative employment.


Have a great race ladies and gents!

We leave Düsseldorf about 6 o clock so we will be in paris round about 10-11 o clock. Please wait for us we will be there for sure.

Donald, Steve, Heiko and Dominik will come. Kaliber and Pavel will rock the house.

Oh yeah, Welcome in France boys!

that session was really good!!! We had a great time, and I'm looking forward to the next pirates outlaw race!

thanks to all those who did a loooong way to come to this session, especially the german guys, but also francois, that came from brittany, and let's not forget about the poor damien that came from belgium, but never found the spot... (sorry for this man)


hopefully we'll be a bunch to come to the koln outlaw at the end of november...

Hope you all had a good race. I am sorry I missed it.

It must have been exciting skating around the burning cars and rioting slalom fans

Hey Pelle WTF? why don't u come to beat all of us?

Paris is burning and near the fire the summer never end

It looks like nobody (EDIT: only a few people were) was wearing a helmet, why?

Seems like it isn't required to wear helmets on basic events...

rmn

False!
During racin everybody was to wear an helmet when I was at the start (the first run). After probably two german bad boys didn't!
We asked for, but the guy who helped at the start had a lot to do and didn't noticed...
But it was compulsory.. perhaps I should be first finally just jokin'

But true that before, we were a lot to warm up quickly without heltmet, and most of this pictures are from the warm up.

hell yeah,ramon at any outlaw race nothing is mandatory-never forget the meaning of"outlaw".
therefore we came to the following conclusions on our way home:
the race we will hold on the 27th will just be the start of a triple-series race event.
concurring with david hackett we will make sure that this race is an nla race(no lycra allowed)
i have to add that our races will also be nba(no boady armor),nbha(no bicycle-helmets allowed).maybe the americans will pick up these very good add-ons for their next races.



to keep up the stoke the grand prize for the three events(at least three)will be an afternoon with the pavel guys in a burger king restaurant.free meals courtesy of pavel.also we will donate as a special prize an adult magazine,if the winner is under 18 years of age he will receive a signed mickey mouse book.

that sounds good eh?


FSU
DON

hey hey hey..... hum maybe some parisian riders will come...

Yes Ramon I wasn´t wearing an helmet because it´s my own decission. I hate a helmet and I wear it only when I must wear it. Nearly everybody had an helmet on and most of the pics were made during practice...

Nice event, nice place nice bottle of duvel!!!! Thanks Vincent.

Ah Donald what do you think about an nka Event "No Klappspaaten allowed"

hey heiko
keep up the stoke
nka is a very good idea and reflects the wishes of all core skaters

"Clever heads protect themselves"

whatever fun counts first

rmn

heiko had a new wig,i had freshly colored hair
we are too sexy for the rest of the world.
the race-promoter ,a sexy clad on his own,has been seen without helmet too.
i immediately stopped him after having seen what he did and he was very ashamed about
his very very bad behaviour.
he broke out in tears and promised never to skate without a nutshell again.
but-aren't we all too sexy?

No body armour ?
during the first Paris outlaw i fucked up my foot breaking twice in a row at the bottom of the Trocadero (this competing thing does strange changes to my behaviour) and without the Dainese protections, particularly the lateral protections of the crashpad, i would have left in an ambulance.
And without crashpad last thursday VinZzz would have missed the race sunday...

How's Dominik's wrist ?

Whatever i'll keep only one word from this sunday we shared:

" ZU SCHNELL "

Hey French Pirates,

thank You all for sharing a great day of competition with us.
Nice weather, nice city, nice forest, nice slope, nice asphalt, nice girls (and boys)!
What else to ask for?

"Très sympha" to race with You. Merci.

A bientot à Cologne!

Steve



Big thanx to Donald for driving us 10 hours in one day !

Ramon, I will knock my head heavily against a wall as punishment for not always wearing a helmet, o.k.?

Don't search for excuses!
You have to learn to race with hang over. Who didn't??
My hip is still painful from a fall, got an otitis and was at a birthday party with local specialities the night before.
Do I complain?
Ok I've cheated, I've sleeped nearly 4 hours.
