Looks like a great race! Sunny, well attended, good organization, close racing, etc. I like the ramps, too--very nicely done.

And congrats to Frank Beste, who just keeps getting faster, and to Kathrin--finishing ahead of Louis, Paul and Steve in the super hybrid is very impressive. That woman is just plain fast!

Sounds good Donald - always good to hear of a bit of media interest - good for the growth of slalom.
Would there be any chance of getting a copy of the footage once it is edited etc. to show on our stand at X in the City?

See you in a couple of days.

sad to hear that michel heal well best wishes from here

updates:

new ramps are finished 6ft awesome ride

new riders confirmed
we even managed to dig out vince hell yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

there is a video production company at the race

they will film everything and use the video material to fish for big sponsors for next year

this is a very interesting opportunity for the sport as finally companies such as-you name it-will be approached by professionals.

that company is something like a consulter,so the production will be awesome and chances are good that we will have different names in sponsoring next year,names we never had before.

i am very optimistic about the whole deal

news and pics every day in the evening here.
so check this thread sat eve and sun eve
