28 July 2007

Didn't really update for quite a long time... however arrived in Fuerte on 24th of July - this time everything was quite relaxing and easy - no troubles with the luggage - easy transfer with my friends who are in Fuerte for "Tiroler Wochen" :) We have an appartement in Solymar in Costa Calma - like a lot of other riders of the worldcup. Today we started with the single elimination at around 11 - in the first round i had Cheo Diaz from Venezuela - it was a tough heat and somehow i wasn't feeling really safe, so i lost. In the further Single some of the top guys were elliminated pretty early - most impressive heat was when Marcilio Browne won against Gollito and Anthony kicked Kiri! I was in the 3rd heat of the double elimination, set against "Boro" - E18 from Spain - I had some good moves, including a onehanded ponch and a puneta into clew first puneta and could make it to the next round, where i should meet my good friend Tine Slabe - SLO6 from Slovenia. Tine kicked Normen Günzlein in the first round of the Single elimination and he likes strong winds... However in my heat we both crashed a lot - but Tine more - so i advanced to the next round where i was about to meet Ricardo Campello V111 from Venezuela - 3 times world champion... My heat was not too bad and i was very close until Ricardo pulled off a huge Shaka and a perfect Shoveit Spock afterwards... So my place for the first competiton day is the 13th, a good position for the eliminations in the next days... Pix by Michal Kosmowski (www.mkinteractive.pl)
