Wonderful days in Brno, good weather and amazing contest! Thank you! Nice finish of the skate season

Looks like a good event guys, well done.

Good work on getting out the results promptly too - always good to see.

Congrats to all the racers and especially to Viking beating Janis, that must have take some doing!!

Many thanks to everyone who helped out during this event: Judges, speaker, time keepers, cone judges, music mixers, food staff, etc and to Dalibor for holding it all together!

Also, thanks to all Czech skaters for the welcome! It was great to be back in Czech Republic, approximately 20 yrs after my latest race here. Same friendly attitude, good organization, plenty of energy from old and young. And what a talent pool they have! Other countries beware!

It was great to see so many girls racing. Promising! Juniors Anna Gailite and Irene Di Giorgio will soon be giving Lienite some serious competition! But Hanna from Finland and Natalya from Russia are wildcards for future races! And Czech Republic has a good group coming up! Martin Tuma's skate school is starting to give good results!

...and last but not least: Jaroslav Knettig - what a talent! I couldn't believe my eyes when he raced head to head with Viking, Kuzmins, Mika Hadestrand and Gustavs, and he beat them all!! In Europe we now have our own Joe McLaren!

Let's keep this autumn race tradition in Brno!

Well done guys - thanks!!

What about temperature there? I see warmly dressed people.. =)

The hall is heated, but outsite is November and could be cold there, take a headcover with you for the outsite area...

In the hall we ride the skateboards with shorts and shirts some people also in Jeans, in the breaks we dress warmer (good for the muscle).

Peter

some more pics, for recommendable clothes are here :-)

Hello.
What about temperature there? I see warmly dressed people.. =)

Can not connect to organizers - they don't answer my emails.
I need invitation letter for visa.

update:
Done. Thanks!

Is there anybody going that would like to share a rental car?

May be we can drive from Viena to Brno.

I am trying to get at least one of our kids to go. I will keep you guys posted.

The fair ground will be open at 9:00 o´clock in the morning. We must live the place on Saturday till 18:00 because the place will be closed.
On Sunday will be open in some time like Saturday but closing will be on 17:00.

Dalibor

Any more detailed schedule for races? ie start times for Sat and Sunday :)

Additionaly Information for all "Skateboard High Jump Performance" participants.

The measurements for the High Jump Board are Maximum (old school rules, smaller board is ok)

The Board must be stiff (no flex)

When your board doesn't fit this requirements, you can of course participate the performance, but you results will not count for the Victory podium.

looking forward to see you all on site :-)

Peter

Thanks!

For sure I will try to come. I will have a look at prices and travel times to see if I can bring the kids too. So 4 persons, either in a big room or two separate rooms. Could you make a preliminary reservation the time I hunt for tickets?

/Jani

Hi Jani,
the best way is to fly to Wien or Bratislava. Because Prag is 220 km from Brno and highway is some time full. If you go from Bratislava is by highway aprox. 120km. and from Wien is two possibility to go to Brno- first is direction Mikulov and second one to Bratislava and than to Brno.
If you would like to reserve accomodation, please write me, because the hotels near the fairground throught the sport fair will be full.

Dalibor

Hi,

For travel, what do you propose? Fly to Prague, Bratislava, Vienna? What is the best option?

Thanks!
