Update from the madness

People really need to give it up to the organizers of this event. You can tell that every minute of the past year was used to get things together. The organizers did not overlook the fine details to expedite the process, respect and huge thanks needs to everyone involved!

the party begins

360 dirt jump style under the lights. The roll in was sweet, off the hillside with two bridge drops or a hit to a table top before hitting the transition to the big ramp to ramp. Despite the drizzle off an on, the guys rode all night.

SSWC2010 host competition. This was the American Idol prelim comp last night.

Canada signing Kiss By Prince (actually pretty good)

New Zealand singing a Queen song. He sucked but everyone likes NZ

Italy (Isaac) singing the Misfits.


The judges! Greg Herbold was Simon.

A Misfits song should win automatically but also the fact that they ripped it and Italy would be a great venue, makes it the place to be for 2010. New Zealand would be cool but we are going there for 3 weeks next month so I am pulling for the Itals!

So, this is how it played out, Italy and New Zealand advanced, Hungary dropped out and Canada waits to try again next year. After two yrs in a row in North America, I guess people want it to move back across the pond. The two winners play each other in a real basketball game tomorrow. They must choose a team of 5 out of the racers and the winner gets to stress out for a year trying to put together an event as good as this one, should be cool.

Off to get ready, just hoping to survive this course.
