dominik is a raw natural talent.he's onboard for about 2months now and heiko didn't practice for 4 months-let's kill em both hahahaha
other sleeping "giants" are frank beste and oliver .those 2 guys are also smoking the tracks on each session.you will find a very competitive level in cologne with good folks around.see you soon.

[Etienne de Bary]

Have amazing riders been added to the pics?

i had never heard about Dominik before and i was very impressed.
All the German visitors were top level, i can imagine you and Steve doing freestyle tricks together...
too bad you are missing (can't quite admit it actually).

[alavoine jean paul]

Don't search for excuses!
You have to learn to race with hang over. Who didn't??
My hip is still painful from a fall, got an otitis and was at a birthday party with local specialities the night before.
Do I complain?
Ok I've cheated, I've sleeped nearly 4 hours.

Hey French Pirates,

thank You all for sharing a great day of competition with us.
Nice weather, nice city, nice forest, nice slope, nice asphalt, nice girls (and boys)!
What else to ask for?

"Très sympha" to race with You. Merci.

A bientot à Cologne!

Steve



Big thanx to Donald for driving us 10 hours in one day !

Ramon, I will knock my head heavily against a wall as punishment for not always wearing a helmet, o.k.?

[Etienne de Bary]

Whatever i'll keep only one word from this sunday we shared:

" ZU SCHNELL "

[Etienne de Bary]

No body armour ?
during the first Paris outlaw i fucked up my foot breaking twice in a row at the bottom of the Trocadero (this competing thing does strange changes to my behaviour) and without the Dainese protections, particularly the lateral protections of the crashpad, i would have left in an ambulance.
And without crashpad last thursday VinZzz would have missed the race sunday...

How's Dominik's wrist ?

[Donald Campbell]

heiko had a new wig,i had freshly colored hair
we are too sexy for the rest of the world.
the race-promoter ,a sexy clad on his own,has been seen without helmet too.
i immediately stopped him after having seen what he did and he was very ashamed about
his very very bad behaviour.
he broke out in tears and promised never to skate without a nutshell again.
but-aren't we all too sexy?

[Ramón Königshausen]

"Clever heads protect themselves"

whatever fun counts first

rmn

[Donald Campbell]

hey heiko
keep up the stoke
nka is a very good idea and reflects the wishes of all core skaters

[Heiko Schöller]

Yes Ramon I wasn´t wearing an helmet because it´s my own decission. I hate a helmet and I wear it only when I must wear it. Nearly everybody had an helmet on and most of the pics were made during practice...

Nice event, nice place nice bottle of duvel!!!! Thanks Vincent.

Ah Donald what do you think about an nka Event "No Klappspaaten allowed"

[David Rudnianski]

hey hey hey..... hum maybe some parisian riders will come...

[Donald Campbell]

hell yeah,ramon at any outlaw race nothing is mandatory-never forget the meaning of"outlaw".
therefore we came to the following conclusions on our way home:
the race we will hold on the 27th will just be the start of a triple-series race event.
concurring with david hackett we will make sure that this race is an nla race(no lycra allowed)
i have to add that our races will also be nba(no boady armor),nbha(no bicycle-helmets allowed).maybe the americans will pick up these very good add-ons for their next races.



to keep up the stoke the grand prize for the three events(at least three)will be an afternoon with the pavel guys in a burger king restaurant.free meals courtesy of pavel.also we will donate as a special prize an adult magazine,if the winner is under 18 years of age he will receive a signed mickey mouse book.

that sounds good eh?

It looks like nobody was wearing a helmet, why?

Seems like it isn't required to wear helmets on basic events...

rmn

False!
During racin everybody was to wear an helmet when I was at the start (the first run). After probably two german bad boys didn't!
We asked for, but the guy who helped at the start had a lot to do and didn't noticed...
But it was compulsory.. perhaps I should be first finally just jokin'

But true that before, we were a lot to warm up quickly without heltmet, and most of this pictures are from the warm up.

that session was really good!!! We had a great time, and I'm looking forward to the next pirates outlaw race!

thanks to all those who did a loooong way to come to this session, especially the german guys, but also francois, that came from brittany, and let's not forget about the poor damien that came from belgium, but never found the spot... (sorry for this man)

We leave Düsseldorf about 6 o clock so we will be in paris round about 10-11 o clock. Please wait for us we will be there for sure.

Donald, Steve, Heiko and Dominik will come. Kaliber and Pavel will rock the house.

Looks like the 'Ladies from the Bois du Boulogne' have been slalom fans for years.

Thanks for those historic precisions Sam

[Sam Gordon]

Looks like the 'Ladies from the Bois du Boulogne' have been slalom fans for years.

Here's their poster for the 1945 'Resistance Race:'

Even then, slalom was an underground movement. This is why the cone symbol was duplicitously depicted as a ray of light.
However, local behaviour has improved.
No longer are scantily-clad elfin pixies kept under every cone.

Perhaps regular criddling forced the tiny beauties to seek alternative employment.


Have a great race ladies and gents!

[Helene Schmit]

I will definitely be there that time!!!

yesterday we had a good session on the spot, despite it was crowdy because of the nice weather....

let's hope we'll have the same weather on sunday!


and a skatepark session is a good idea for saturday

[David Rudnianski]

Don't forget guys, there is no price money for the First One, but the last one will have a free night with a" lady of the Bois de Boulogne...."

[Etienne de Bary]

Please don't forget me Etienne ( team coneRacing ! remember ? )...

i should kick my own ass ! but i'm not able even to that !

Let me tell you: You guys will be in trouble beating Fred !

i just picked the first names i thought of actually, starting with David, and then i thought of the other fresh kids, Panda is pretty fast too.

Patrick! No one will beat Patrick...

[Heiko Schöller]

Hey guys no more beating here..haha let´s pray for some good weather so we all can skate a bit together. I have holiday on monday so when the weather is good we come along for sure!!! Skateparksession on saturday is perfect!!!

[Patrick Allan]

Ca va chier...

[HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric]
