Last weekend – 19-20 of May we’ve had an exhibition at Wisla
Feast in Warsaw. We were supporting local club WAKK Habazie with promotion of
kayaking. We started from Hradec at Thursday
evening with Lucie Horka, Tomas Burian, Hanka B. and the Pirates Honza and
me. At begininng we head to Cracow so i
was really happy i could see my family. Even thought it was just a month yet.
After having some great dinner and rest, next morning we’ve left to
warsaw. Everything was going smoothly
until we hit the Lodz. There was a „HIGH” way which is supposed to be one of
the basic roads for upcoming football Europeans 2012 in Poland. But becouse it is not even half ready yet – it
took us 3 hours to get through it standing 1 hour in traffic jam without nearly
any move!
So we have arrived to warsaw later then we planned at the begining and there was big
challenge waiting for us. To build a big air ramp. Thanks to materials from
DOKA we had all materials waiting but even with our project prepared before by
DOKA member we had to rethink everything
once again. There were 2 obstacles. First – the channel was looking so short ! Second
– It was so shallow! Like just 1,5
meter!
Finally we’ve changed our project pretty much making ramp
bigger, longer and with bigger kicker ( i know it doesnt make sense after what
i said – actually i just figured it out.) And after long day of work we finally
finished it up. That was hard work even for 4 people but effect looked really
good, but becouse of the obstacles nobody was keen to test it! Finaly I decided
to do it myself as it was my idea. After 2 scary tries we’ve figured out it’s
safe. So happly went to our sleeping place for Honzas b-day party and rest.
Next day we had our shows twice, we’ve been jumping from the
ramp throwing some BIG AIR moves which was pretty good fun as the ramp wasnt
actually that huge or vertical but had a long flight and the water there was a
bit moving so the landing was almost painless which made this event even more
fun for us! We had also an opening jumps for runoff event where participated
100 people! We were also linking the jumps with some flatwater exhibitions
under the ramp to keep the show going and some extra ones at pool in the middle
of the event!
An awesome thing was that we were said by the organisator
and aswell i think by the crowd the most spectacular event ! Which is a big
thing for us as there were some bmx , ski jets and hovercraft shows! The only thing we regret is that we didnt
manage to make a flying behind the ski jet show but surely we will manage it
for the next time!
After show at sunday we’ve left home as we had really long drive next to us.
I’ve left the crew in Jelenia Góra where I’m preparing now for the Polish
Championships which will take place at next weekend and I’m waiting for rest to
join me at thursday! Looking forward for next cool event!
Stay in tune!
