Bo Scradijn, Milo and Mella. You are the future, I loved every single moment of you guys racing. That is for me much more important then all the skateboarding contests I took part in my life since 1974. Keep on skating little dudes!!!!!!

There are many. Maybe the best option is to head to The Dam and to the pub right next door to the De Bijenkorf (the big department store)....I forgot how it is called, but I will ask. It is a big place, difficult to miss. Rob has my number, call once you guys are here. See you tomorrow! Ernst, Jeroen, Bart and Cyril will also join.

Have a safe trip!!!!!!!!

All the Brits arrive Thursday night - staying in a hotel near Central Station - so where is a good place for a drink?

You can check the local weather here:

http://www.nu.nl/weer/index.html

just keep in mind that VR= Friday and Neerslagkans = chance of rain (%)

the rest will work itself out....try it.....

Perfect skateboarding weather is expected this weekend in Amsterdam.



SUNNY Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Temperature around 20 degrees and no wind!!

Friday afternoon Het Parool, one off the biggest newspapers in Holland, will interview the riders.

@Jani: Thank you and thanks a lot for the goodies. Nice going, Muito obrigado!!! Jani



@Everybody else: ALL course will be set up by three rides: A Dutch rider and then 2 foreign riders we are going to choose on the day of competition.

TOT VRIJDAG!!!

Have fun everyone! Wishing you all a great contest!

/Jani

@Antonio: It is not a Giant slalom it is a Giant SPECIAL. You will like it the course will go from a sort of Giant into a tight course, with the cone distance getting tighter and tighter. Very demanding and fun.

@Rob: Great news looking forward to seeing you all here!!



Tot ziens!

Whatever the weather whatever the courses the Brits will be there - Paul Price, Sam Gordon, Ella Rogerro, myself and possible 1 or 2 others!

Looking forward to it - flying in on Thursday night. See you then.
