[2005] World Baltic Sea Cup - July 9-10 2005, Jurmala Latvia

[David Rudnianski]

I Heard about a big Wooden old school skatepark in Jurmala. Is it true?

[Etienne de Bary]

Bear in mind though that AirBaltic flies from Arlanda whereas RyanAir for example flies to/from Skavsta.

aha ?

AirBaltic:
Available now (May 10-12 only):

Stockholm - Riga return 584 SEK (taxes included) on all days surrounding the World Cup weekend.

Also great prices from Cologne, Hamburg, Helsinki and Amsterdam.


RyanAir:
Stockholm - Riga, return, 534 SEk (taxes included)

The flight is just one hour. All skaters in Sweden should consider going. If you live elsewhere, check for cheap flights to Stockholm. Bear in mind though that AirBaltic flies from Arlanda whereas RyanAir for example flies to/from Skavsta.

This might be a good opportunity to visit both this event and the European Championships in Stockholm a week later. There are now low-cost Ryan air flights between Riga and Stockholm making it very affordable to participate in this event.

Gints has a long experience of organizing events, so you can count on a good organization!
Latvia used to have a good slalom scene

More info will follow.
