Ok....here we go! Are you ready for this???!! You better be!!!

The Monster Ramp race is on! Please take the following days to practise some transitions. GEt your food package together and come on over. If you need a place to stay, I'm willing to help out the most. Just shoot me a pm.

We are starting with an hour of practice, and then with the race. Be sure, everyone will get many runs!!!
After this we would like to do a speedtrap race, just go from the top to the bottom, fastest time wins. And we do what we all want to do...

Ok, here are the facts:

and bring your oxygen mask, and a tent for the 1st biwak at night! It takes two days to reach the peak of "monster ramp"!:-)
If the weather is fine you will have an incredible view to Hamburg in the north and Munich in the south of Germany!
We will get in trouble if there are clouds! Then we will not see the racetrack and it will be a "blind-start"! :-)

Just checked ss.com for the first time since a few months..............

I would love to attend the race, but I am out of action until mid july due to a knee(meniskus) surgery. Everthing is healing well and I should be back on my board soon.

Good luck with the race!

Would the people that left the empty oxygen bottles at the top of the ramp be kind enough to climb back up there and remove them? :-)

Guys, thanks a lot I had good fun and I really enjoyed the ride down the big ramp.

Carsten I think I need a password or something like that the see the pics....:-(

This picture of Dom reminds me of a late take off at Banzai Pipeline

See you all soon!!!
