Rob, thanks for the vid

It's cool to see wakeskating getting coverage like that in sweden... you wouldn't see that on french tv lol

I think I know that Maria that was wakeskating. I just heard the name Maria and kind of saw here riding a little sec, then kind of saw here again on some shots lol.... I met her at TWC, maybe you know her Wink

some cool riding in there by the guy that won, I can see that the riding level is pretty even with france Smile

But does Cassette have a like a magic swedish factory that pops out bis and red (santa) bis? Very Happy

or sweden gets a discount at cassette... tell me what's going on Twisted Evil

I was going to go to the Europeans but cash issues have stopped me unfortunately, but have a good time though Rob, the setup and the rails look pretty sick

Yeah, I heard that from a portugese friend of mine, involved with the comp. There will be a flatbar, spine and a curb. The boat will be a '05 Super Air Nautique Team Edition. I've received about €500 from the Swedish federation to use for tickets, entry fee etc.
NR, did u see the french comp? Talked to my friend Charlie (who came in 2nd) and from what I heard it was a pretty good comp.

pipo, that's a shame... Contest in Sweden are usually pretty mellow with lots of blond girls watching and cheering at shore. Enough said Laughing

Grattis ! Gött att se att SVT tar upp wakeskate.

How´s the winch doin´ ? I´m very curious. The weather this past summer has been terrible in Sweden and if that´s gonna be the case every summer I better get a winch.

Nekkie Just fixed myself up with a wakeskating.com account. Shame on me for that crappy riding on the nationals, but I won anyway! Very Happy

My "santa bi" is in fact bright pink (with clear grip tape). Real girly punk. Too bad there's not gonna be any chicks in the european championships. When are the Tahitian nationals? Wink

Take care!

PS: Some of the beautiful Swedish girls don't just watch the competitions, they enter them!

Maria, hell yeah!! show the boys what's up Very Happy

That punk pink is great!! cool looking deck Cool

you know what, you should enter the euro comp just for fun, if you plan on going there anyway...

cool to hear from you and to see ya on wakeskating.com ^^

edit: PS: And some of those swedish girls even make out with Ben Greenwood and Aaron Reed Shocked

(now the name greenwood will always have a special meaning for me... Rolling Eyes

)

Nekkie, I'm afriad only Johan and Rob are going to the europeans. I'm broke as hell and they're getting a nice appanage from the Swedish waterski federation. Besides I'm gonna start writing my thesis whenever I get my ass off the sofa. Crying or Very sad

PS. It wasn't Ben and Aaron (Aaron went home and actually slept, as in snoring and everything, with that Italian girl) It was Ben and Dave. Gossip, gossip. Rolling Eyes
