Subject: World Championship update !! Author: gerhard [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:42:51 06/12/03 Thu Hey guys !! First off i wish all injured riders from Oklahoma a speedy recovery and all the best, especially to Chris Mc Bride. Chris i know we want see you for a while, i still hope you stay into the sport in any kind. Thanks to Rusty and the F6-Crew for the event in Oklahoma. Guys if anybody got some pic´s from Stuart and Werner Bücherl i need good quality pics for the next Hot Heels Press realise ! PLEASE ! Let me give you an update on the entry situation for Hot Heels....... Stand up: 87 Classic: 67 Streetluge: 74 Inline: 20 Dirtsurfer: 19 Skatjet / Slalom / Gravity Bike / - below 10 As it is now a total number (Camp and Race) of over 220 riders entered Hot Heels this year. It looks like it will be the biggest field ever since the existance of Hot Heels. But you also know that it will be limited to 150/110. The update will be done on the weekend !!!! So what can you expect this year. Well we will expect lots of good racing and competitive racing. Please also notice that the racing precedure for Hot Heels will be the same like the years before, Qualifying will be your first race, you need to make the cut to qualify for the World Championship Final on saturday !! (it is the same like DHX - X-Games - Gravity Games was, if you don´t make the cut you are a spectator for the final) But lots of practise will give everybody a great chance this year. Preperations for Hot Heels go realy well so far. I would like to thank all people which are allready involved since over months with preperation for the event. The Hot Heels Team gets bigger and bigger every week now. I think a total number of over 70 volunteers / Staff / organizers / sponsors / partners / Media will help to held a great world Championship. If you need anything please email the office@hotheels.net we will be pleased to help out with what you need. Bookings for Rooms / Accomodation for those which stay in town should be done soon. Flightdetails should be given soon to make sure somebody could pick you up, and also the shuttle plan back to zurich Airport needs to be worked out.... Update on media situation. Lots of TV-Crew will do features on riders from their country´s , as it is so far i heard that at least 5 riders from different country´s get featured at the World Champs. I think a total of about 6 cameras will hang out only in the finish area. TV- Production: It looks like we will have over 16 cameras on course this year. For the first time since 1993 we got a birds eye cam again. One of the worlds best paragliding pilot will fly with an camera guy to give us an bird´s eye impression of the course and the race ! Everybody which will bring his own camera (fingerstick, minicams e.g.) and would like to support us with great footage please email tv@hotheels.net we would be pleased to get some more different angles and footage which we can involve onto the highlite tape to get the best possibly quality. So last but not least: Werner Bücherl will move to Kaunertal by mid next week and will start with a smal group with setups. Thanks to werner and his support. that´s it for now ! Thanks to all of you and see you soon !! Gerhard & the HOT HEELS TEAM [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
