After wonderful times working in Wildalpen at Liquid-Lifestyle it was time to go for next competition of CNAWR rodeo Cup in Prague - Troja Freestyle Fest! Chris from Graz - new Austrian C1 hope arrived at thursday evening to pick us up and we left paddling and running our way up to Prague with Hanka and Adam from Poland.
In the morning we catch up with crew at Troja kanal and get some paddling session. New hole in Prague is really great! You can make all of the tricks there and it's sticky and nice for training. At left part of it it's deep to make all the moves so it's perfect for having fun! Also it gives you big pops if you dive with your boat! But then you might hit the current ;) Unfortunetly right side is shallow and a bit dangerous for carbon boats but without any problems you can stay on left and enjoy it!
Unfortunetly this year not that much people came but the party in the evening thanks to boulder v siti bar which provided music aswell was great as always! Everything got arranged by our crew member Stepan Vohradsky. Whole competition been organised by Tomas Pospisil, same as making new hole so thumbs up for good job!
Saturday started with prelims for us which put 3 pirates in top places, I was 1st, Ondra i think for the first time had beaten Honza who finished 3rd and came 2nd. But we were happy for our scores and were looking forward for semi-finals.
Semi-finals turned out lucky for me as i barely made it coming up at 5th place beating Michal Wrzal by a little and Honza took 1st, Unfortunetly Ondra has dropped finishing his race. To the finals except us proceed from second Jan Bubnik followed by Jirka Langer and Martin Kucera.
Chris and Adam - our travel companiers joined Yougsters category as they are just beginners - Chris C1 and Adam K1. With cool rules made specialy for beginners they both got to finals - Adam from 1st place! He even kept it next day by making glorious loop and youngster trophy move - swimming in the hole which gave him big aplaus. Chris came 4th but enjoyed it alot especially after saturdays party where was great band playing and fire show - from what people said. Unfortunetly i missed both as i felt asleep in the evening, guess i was too tired... I woke up just a moment after last song of the band and kept party running!
On Sundays finals good news was that Lucie Horka made it for Czech champion tittle! In Mens after great final session I've won, followed by Honza who got Czech champion tittle again. 3rd was Jirka Langer, 4th Jan Bubnik and 5th Martin Kucera.
Just after finishing ceremony and tombola we left to Poland with Michal where with Adam we took bus to Cracow. For weekend getting back to Prague for bday party and then moving to Sopac - for sick competition of CNAWR rodeo - hope to meet you there!
