If you look at the pictures and think :"hmmm, this road is not that steep..."
Believe me, its steep enough for getting pretty fast !

NOTE: One photo shows a cigarette. It's not only for showing you the quality of the surface, it also should remind everybody that this road is part of the Nature Reserve!!!

NO TRasH!!!! Each person, whoever, who gets caught throwing stuff away will each and everytime be charged by 10 Euros!!!

Go Fast! Keep it clean!

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 7:51 am

we'll start from the seldom used beginning of the actual road.overall length will be around 300 meters i think
the first section delivers the necessary speed along with the ramp we will have for that event it will be fast,lots of flow and drive involved too.
overall length will result in times around 50-60 secs then
again : bring boards around 34".

and before this is forgotten:credits for getting this street leaglized by the city all go to steve backförmchen hinzen.
he was the man who followed through on that quest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carsten Pingel · Post by **Carsten Pingel** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 7:45 am

good decision! First Hill in Germany with the official permission of the the town council to skate there!

see my avatar ! That's the hill !

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 4:27 am

change of venue here guys...
since we have so many people signing up we will try to get a legal track here so that the race is not a bust.
the cologne crew wants to do it in cologne hürth,faithful domink kowalski is gonna post a few pics of it in a few.
other venues such as the indoor hall with plastic surface,20 meters long,go to russia again.

and now git!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:09 pm

talking about km's

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Tue Mar 13, 2007 7:11 pm

a view to the start:

a view from the middle to the bottom:

the second half is easier not so much slope there but enough for a few still!

joe you should come friday bring a 34" deck that should be ok...
we can talk later about directions you have to take and stuff

this is a possible hill we may call#1 right now,there's more in the forest

average speed 40+

trying to keep it low there very good and large runout area.
with the right ramp we can add 10+ to the whole thing

more pics and info during the week

Hi guys,

Need to book flights. When should I arrive? Friday? If I'm coming this far, I'd like to pack as much fun in as possible. Do we have a schedule yet?

I will rent car and drive over from Schipol. Need some idea on the hill so I pack correctly.

ALSO

I'll be in Zoetermeer for the week after looking to skate or hang out.

Joe I

all details will follow this week PROMISE

Sam Gordon · Post by **Sam Gordon** » Sun Mar 04, 2007 8:24 pm

Any chance of details on race location, hill, transport from airport etc?
We can sort ourselves out provided we know in roughly which direction to head.

Or perhaps we should turn up at the airport expecting to be blindfolded, spun around a couple of times and bundled into the back of a van? If so then I'll pack the gimp outfit. Get the catering pack of talcom powder ready! Sauuuuuceeeeeeeee!!!

bummer...
when we do the indoor contest i want to limit the wheel size to 25 mms.
also full saftey gear is required and no music.
first of all each racer has to fill out a 3 page application which entitles him also to
the subscription of several useless magazines and a russian car,which is not allowed
to drive on german streets,due to safety hazards.
we also strongly enforce used number-trikots.
we have a meeting room nearby where the organizer will meet with the staff(49 people)
to discuss the event and drink heavy booze.
once the organizer is drunk enough,we'll start the race.
girls attending have to show proof to the organizer that they are girls(hehehe).
ceremony later on is hedl by the böhler blaskapelle and each visitor who paid 99 euros
entrance fee will get a free pack of handkerchiefs to dry the tears.

the event itself is promoted by me with flyers made out of cheap toilet paper and spread in the neighbourhoods mailboxes.

i want to thank my mother,who is the main sponsor this year!!!
1st gets a used hairdryer
2nd gets staceys old underwear
3rd gets a slap in the face
4th to 10th get a warm handshake

the organizer himself gets all the money and will spend the rest of the evening at the rethelstr.75.

Sounds like a great race, though I'm a little worried that you didn't specify any board restrictions.

Donald, you really should use a mask when you build boards out of polyester

thanks for helping us out guys...
and guillaume,you can also vote per mail,try it it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As Guillaume said it, we changed the dates so we should have a good Pirate's team comin in GOG land

Guillaume Saint-Criq · Post by **Guillaume Saint-Criq** » Thu Feb 22, 2007 11:38 pm

We change the date for our final race, not to be on the same WE as the GOG race.

Last Pirate will be held on April the 1st, at the Trocadero.

Hope to see many racers... it will be a good training for PSWC.
We will have some stuff for everyone, hope to get our Riderz Starting Ramps and some Pirates 2007 shirts.

HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric · Post by **HUYNH BACH SAC Frédéric** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:22 pm

Can I race for France AND Vietnam ?!

Come on Guillaume... you must come.... for your country !!!

Vive la france !

Guillaume Saint-Criq · Post by **Guillaume Saint-Criq** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 7:39 pm

oh damned
a Gang Race

this looks very fun for sure.

We were thinking about doing a bigger race for the last 2007 Pirate Race, with ramps, prizes & teeshirts... and we were hoping for some challenge coming from germany and elsewhere.

This GOG race immediatly get an international interest and most of us Pirates want to come race and have fun with you all.

So we'll will change the date of our Pirate Final. Updated date will come soon and we're still hoping to see some of you.

I want to vote so I'm not sure I will be able to be with you... so ...
Go PIRATES, GOOOOOOOO !

Donald Campbell · Post by **Donald Campbell** » Sun Feb 18, 2007 9:09 am

oh damn

but......
how about the ultimate clash then?
G.O.G. against the PIRATES?

we can work something out and all of you come over to get your asses wopped.

this would be tons of fun and the best of battles.

my idea:
regular race and after that we set up some teams similar to the nations cup thing.
we have at least 4 countries there and we can do that.
i would also like to see a team from berlin,definitely

so we can go like this.

what do you guys think
i think it's dope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
