I'm moving back to Sydney (my home town) in April next year, and I'll be one more warm body to be a part of the emerging Sydney slalom scene. So don't go away before I get there.
Those pics of slalom in front of the cathedral are damn good - natsukashi!

Hey Klangster,
It would be awesome to have a worldcup comp in this region. The scene here is just kind of getting started, we don't have the same amount of slalomers yet as other places. But it is definitely growing.
I am interested in working towards organizing a big competition here, but I think it still will require some time to mature the scene and get people interested. In the meantime I continue to be on the lookout for good slalom venues where a race could be held. I'll keep you updated on how things develop.

Yo Haggi,

Hey Joseph and Haggy, I'll be up there around August time to buy a Mac up in Sydney and I'll have my Landy Evo by then (just ordered it a second ago) so keep up the pics and the enthusiasm. Sooner or later you guys will have a large competition happening.
Later guys.

Across from Hyde Park, we ran some cones right in front of the Cathedral. A religious experience. Joseph, do you remember when this was? Back in Nov or Dec I think. After a couple of hours we got the boot...

Cool to hear someone's slaloming in Brisbane. I'll be up there for a day or two in mid-August, we should try and meet up to ride.

Klangster!
Hur maar du?
Here in Sydney we are getting a slalom scene together, but as for the other Asian capitals you mention I have no clue. I don't think there has been any discussion on this board from people in those countries.
It's funny, I used to live in Singapore for six years in the early nineties. Awesome place to street skateboard, all over the Downtown areas...
Who knows about slalom though...
What's your story, do you speak indonesian? I know what "jalan" means...
You'll have to let us know if there are plans for races in the Asian region, I'll be there no doubt...
Peace
Haggy

Yo Jadranko!
Congrats on your placings, you did well my friend! I have been following the contests, wish I could have been there...
A 3week European skate trip would be pretty damn cool. Make no mistake, I would love to go over there and race in some competitions. But we'll see where I'm at next year. thanks for the invitation though, who knows, I might turn up on your doorstep...
In the meantime, I'll be hanging here, doing some skating and having a good time. We've had some good sessions at Allawah lately, some fun racing with just a stopwatch. Not exactly accurate, but close enough for our purposes...
Take Care in Europe! Good luck with the other races...
Peace out
Haggy

Not long back from the big tour and apart from the weather it was all good.We didnt make it to Canberra as we lost a day with rain and snow (yes snow).Sunday Bathurst mount panorama was going off.After i was released from hospital on saturday night we drove to the top and started bombing.At one stage it started to fully snow ,massive flakes before a run.Speeds where up to arounjd 80kms it was hard to tell with the surface being so smooth that vibration was almost non existant.Other wise a mind blowing trip on and off the track.
Cheers Kanufi

Hi Haggy,
here are my race results since i leave Sydney
Paris: Tight Slalom 20. place (Amateur 40 participants)
Silverstone: special Slalom 8. place, special tight 9. place, giant slalom 13. place (only one Categorie pro and amateurs together)
Grueningen: special slalom 5. place, giant slalom 8. place (Amateur 40 participants)
Hope to be on the top in my last race in the 2004 season. The last race will be Morro Bay (USA)
I have enough time for practice and enter other competitions.
Koeln (European Championchips)
Antibes (World Cup)
Zurich (not confirmed yet)
Morro Bay (Worldchampionchips)
I hope to make the Grueningen race after the Paris competition next year! And if someone make a competion after us, than you must come to europe !!!
Europe is cheap !! I will change my house in spring 2005. I go to live with a friend of my in a bigger house with 4 room's! One room will be only for guests !! If you can make it with the school, than it's now time for planing !!!
It's so easy !! Fly from Sydney to Paris, stay there for 4 Day's, than i will give you a lift to Zurich, stay one week or longer in my house and than we fly together with Easyjet to London. And from London you can fly home to Sydney !!!
It's really cheap !!
Flight from Sydney to Paris (one way) 700 Australien Dollars
Stay in Paris for 4 Day; maximum 200 Australian Dollar
The Way to Zurich; it's free
Stay in my house; it's free
Flight from Zurich to London (one way) 50 Australian Dollars.
Flight from London to Sydney 700 Australien Dollars.
1950 Australien Dollars for 3 week's Europe and enter in 3 Competitions is nothing! Stay with your girlfriend in 3 beautiful Cities, I'm sure it will have fun !!
Cheers jadranko
