hey Peter, thanx for your message...
Best thing to do if you request more info is to get in touch with the organisers, Pierre-Yves Ritchard (was logged here a minute ago) is the head of the team, send him a pm thru here or best: go to Riderz' forum (english posts are very well accepted)
http://www.riderz.net/modules.php?name= ... forum&f=68
you should get answers in the very next minutes

Me again damn, I know I’m a pain in the ass, but is there anyone of you locals whom can give information on the courses and the schedule. I think six weeks befor all riders should know what to expect..

Please give us this information ASAP.
- Courses
- Schedule
- ENGLISH SPEAKING ANNOUNCER (all riders MUST get information in English right after his/her run.
- How, when and where will times, heat draws be posted?

Kind regards
Peter Klang

It's 2 m center to center. Sounds like a lot, but towards the end of the course it's just what's needed.

The Am course 2003 was 2.50, last year 2.40m, this year we might go down to 2.30 as some Ams wanted it tighter.

We'll do everything to have the online registration by the end of the week, sorry to keep you waiting

Jani Soderhall · Post by **Jani Soderhall** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 3:23 pm

Registrations are welcome at the race location.

I don't have the latest inside information, but it may be that the online registration is a bit late. It was planned for release last week.

I think it'll be available very soon.

Welcome!

Jani Soderhall · Post by **Jani Soderhall** » Sun Mar 13, 2005 10:00 pm

Although I will not be as heavily involved as previous years, I'm still part of the organizing committee this year and I'll help you answer any questions you may have (public or private, just shoot them off).

If there has been any concerns about the race, because of the relatively limited public info so far, I can just let you know that all seems to be going smoothly. Most of the time has been spent on administrational tasks such as getting the authorization through and searching for funding. The good news for Riderz this year is that that there will be public funding from the town and from the various skateboard associations in France (I say various, because slalom is part of downhill, downhilll is part of skateboard and skateboard is part of the French Roller Sport association). The good thing is that there will be a little bit of money from each level in this multi layered organization.

We had some TV coverage last year with 6 stations covering the event (at various degrees of course) and quite a few newspapers too. Soizic is in charge of media contacts and it looks promising also for this year.

Disney Village will help out like last year with the stage and starting ramps. It also happens that the son of the VP there is a sound guru. That he lent his material and his knowledge for a full weekend last year was a great relief. I think all is on track for him to be back.

A poster is under discussion and should appear any day now.

The bar and electricity will be handled by the cataphile friends of Alain (the bald guy) like last year. He's the link between the skaters and the cataphiles of Paris. Cataphiles, you don't know what it is? They're kind of cave explorers, it's just that they explore catacombes and other tunnels under cities rather than natural caves.
Read more about Cataphiles here.

I'll make sure we have a timing system (and fully recharged batteries). Probably we'll stay with the TrakMate of last year (used in Paris and Antibes), but I also have plans for a new timer with output capabilities to a PC. (see timer threads for more info on this topic).

Now the only remaining question is should I participate at this years race?

Thanks Soizic!

Corky, even I don't have full confidence in me! Being of the English 'string and sellotape' brigade, I put these helpful postings down only in part out of altruism. Mainly they work as grouped information to remind myself. Easier to find, helps all. It's a librarian thang. Now, where are the instructions on how to book a train??!!?

Oh yeah, here's another: Paris race registration opens on the 18th March.

Hi,

I am from Riderz.
About the PSWC 2005, the french website is ready: http://event.riderz.net/pswc2005/
The english version will be available very soon, in one week we hope.
However, if you have urgent questions, you can mail me to this adress: quemener.soizic@wanadoo.fr

We will make our possible to respond to you quickly.
Sorry for my english. (Don't worry, we have french "Riderz" who speak english better than me)

Bye.

Funny isn't it. Sam (and English guy) helping out the French with info about their Paris competition. Should I get nerveous? Not that I don't have full confidence in Sam but we are approching the most important competition in Europe this season...

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:26 pm

Hello,
My name is Peter Klang and I raced in Paris last year.
I think Paris was the best of 2004. NOW, it's two month
to Paris World Cup 2005 and there is no information on
prize purse, time schedule, registration or anything.
Paris is a MAJOR with the highest ranking points.

Please let all racers know ASAP waz up.

Thanks alot for the info!

I'll keep checking back here and hopefully see you in Paris!

Sam Gordon · Post by **Sam Gordon** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 10:52 am

Andy, last year I booked transport before the races were announced and found that my arrival time was due to be mid-way through the first race. Luckily the start time was delayed and so there was no difficulty in taking part. The organisers were very helpful in making sure that I was allowed to compete.

There is no website up as yet for Paris 2005, however when ready it will be posted up on http://event.riderz.net/. If you have any queries as regards race times, format, entry fees etc then you can contact direct on info@riderz.net.

Transport from the UK is now available from Eurostar:

Hi,

I'm interested in coming to paris for this event, but having never competed in an event as big as this, has it got a website for more information?

I can't go ahead and book plane tickets just off dates!

thanks

Andy

Sam Gordon · Post by **Sam Gordon** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 9:12 pm

Well, I've just been given release permision from attending my sister's birthday on the 14th and so am now thinking of things French.

Is there a site for race registration and pre-entry? It would be useful to have these details sorted before travel arrangements are made.

On a different tack, I was in Paris outside the Eiffel Tower for the Entente Cordiale Paris-London Cycle Race about 4 months back and mentioned to a few fellow competitors that the Trocadero is one of the great slalom locations in the world. I added that it looked a little forlorn without cones, inflatables and paper-plated slippery pasta.

Blank looks.

Serious bunch, these cycling types.

Good collection of lycra, however.

Returning to the first tack, it would appear that August seems to be the more furtive month for many skaters' folks.
And that's not one for the statistics, Corky.

Looking forward to 'La Belle France!'
Sam

Peter Klang · Post by **Peter Klang** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 9:28 pm

If I'm not mistaken I believe Ramon also will be racing in the under 40 category. Paris is the Gigantic blast off on the European leg, the whole World cup, let´s all be there. I think anyone who misses out on this race will miss the greatest venue for a skateboard contest, I think you guys should try to have the little pond under the tower dry for us to skate. I skated it in 1988. please... I want to relive my childhood.

What's the entry fee?

Steve,

Thank's for the "welcome back".

The entry fee last year was 75 Euro for Pros and 100 including T-shirt and meals & water for three days. For Ams it was 30 for all races and 50 including everything.

I'm not sure about the plans for this year. I was one of those who voted for a high entry fee for the Pros last year so that we could have some prize money and pay down to 8:th place in all disciplines. I'm not really involved at this moment, but some of the work & paper work has started for the race. Currently there is a poster contest at www.Riderz.net to come up with proposals for a race poster.

Well, three days before mine, which means that I'll still race in the "under 40" category.
