Working very hard at getting everything ready. We have about 27 men competing plus 6 to 8 juniors and unfortunately only 3 girls so far!!! this is not a problem though we will sort everything out!
I think it is worth mentioning that we will be the first contest to pay the ISSA fee's. From each rider's registration fee 5 Euro will go to ISSA.
Weather forecast is SUNNY all three days, temperatures between 19 and 22 C.
Wednesday I will post the last information.
Tot ziens in Amsterdam!!!

Almost everything is ready, I am off to go get the trophies now.
On Friday we will start the training a little later because some riders will arrive around 12. We have plenty of time.
As usual the press will show up for interviews, TV will be there as well. Try to look good
PROMOTE THE SPORT. Tip: Telling the press that the sport is really small, doesn't really help us, say instead that it growing
As in the previous years your are allowed to camp on the location, please do not make fires!!!!!
On Saturday, there is a bicycle event, that WILL NOT interfere with us, but they have 1,500 competitors, they will start and end the race at the park, that means lots of people and lots os spectators, we will profit from it.
Sunday, we will have the longboarding race at around 12 PM
Kid's race will be Sunday 3 PM
Prize ceremony will be around 4 PM on Sunday afternoon.
The weather is perfect.
We have plenty of time on all three days.
We, The Dutch Crew, are looking forward to seeing you here.
TOT MORGEN!!!

Perfect day in Amsterdam. Dominik took first place. We will publish the full results later on!! Ready for more tomorrow morning, at least 6000 people will be there tomorrow for a huge cycle event, that means lots of spectators for us.!! Even too many I would say.
Great competition, Dominik was skating full bore, Gustavs as well. Flying machines.
The Spanish will arrive this evening.
Nice to see 9 year old Dutch rider Mella Stolk taking first place among the juniors and clearing the same course all skaters were skating at with e very nice 29 sec run and 0 cones.
The atmosphere is simply great. The weather?? Tomorrow 29 C !!!!!!!
