Subject: Scandinavian Downhill Championship 2004 Author: anders [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:10:05 03/15/04 Mon Just to let y'all know that there's something happening in good ol' Sweden aswell. The hill is about two miles (3km) long, got two nasty hairpins and many milder turns. It will be exciting racing, loats of tactics involved since it's rather long, and the two hairpins will require good technique aswel. The date is end of june to 2nd of july. IT's three days practise and then one race day. The categories raced are standup, luge, buttboard and those crazy ice-luge lookalikes with loads of inlinewheels on 'em. If there's any gravitybikers interested i'm sure that they will put on a race for you guys aswell. The road is in a small swedish village called Åre and is a part of some kind of "extreme week" they have there. So if you're into other "extreme sports" like kiteflying and downhill mountainbiking there'll be loads and loads of that kind going on aswell. Åre is supposed to be good for kiteflying and excellent for downhill mountainbiking. Beeing the biggest Skiresort in skandinavia there's all the lifts and cable cars to get you up the mountain, and there's supposedly loads of tracks down agian. They had some big race a few years back but i can't remember if it was the world championship or the world cup. (they're also hosting the ISF World championship (skiing) in 2007). Anyway, checkout www.longboard.nu for more info on the downhill race and have a good life. I havent really managed to get around to much racing for a while. I always seem to fall off my normal skateboard and hurt my self just before anything is on. But I hope to see all of you guy soon. Cheers, anders [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
