I'm sorry for posting them so late after the event. Since the excel sheet did not work and I am having my final exams at school it I did not have much time and it got a little lost. Thanks for your patience.

The spreadsheets will be availabe asap...

HUGE thanks to Chris, Ramon and all the others for organizing a great event. The location was fantastic, so was the BBQ in the evening and the breakfast next morning. What more could you ask for ? Everything was just perfect and we will for sure be back next year.
We regret not being able to do the camping on-site, but I needed a real bed after my hospital visit.
Special thanks to Pia for her help during our hospital trip.

Yeahhhhhhhhhh, congratulation to Christopher.

Bon rétablissement Michel.

Thanx to Ross the Boss

rmn

Thanx Ramon, I'll check them out!

Antonio

Just found a B&B, but it's further away:

rmn

If you have a good longboard, slalom, downhill of pool DVD lying around: Bring it with you!

rmn

There is one that is very close: Hotel Sternen - Map

Unfortunately I don't know anything about the rates. Maybe there is also a B&B somewhere around. I could ask some friends of mine who live in that town if they can recommend something...

and another one next to the train station, but that one is probably too expensive. ( http://www.sedartis.ch )


But anyways, most of us will be sleeping outside, in tents or at the local sports facility. And there is also a scouts headquarter pretty close to the race track...



More Hotels

rmn

Are there hotels in the area close to the race?

Antonio

NO, IT IS NOT A JAZZ GIG, IT IS A SLALOM RACE!!!

chris

Hoppe to see all of you ....

chris hart

Well, there is a direct connection with the suburban train "S2" that takes you 30mins.

contact 0041 79 676 21 24 for pickup from the train station.

If you have any, travelling information, contact me via e-mail (ramon@airflow-skateboards.com), and I should be able to organise what you need.

PS: Don't miss the BBQ on Saturday night

And how far is it from the airport to the Thalwil?

That's right. But everyone is welcome to join on Saturday (actually its only the name and points that make the 2nd day different.)


rmn

So, the WC races are only on sunday?

Antonio
