At 20-21 of August we’ve been at Freestyle Fest in Prague. Which was really awesome, great organisted event! But lets start from the begining. After tidying everything in Sopac, Honza and Me left to train for contest at Tuesday evening. Ondra becouse of job had to join us at Thursday.
Honza, Marcel and Me visited Stepan Vohradsky in Boulder v Siti – great bar with boulder inside and good atmosphere which is supporting us Pirates. Ondra and Bubak mafia has joined us and as it was Hankas name-day, we went for party to the Cross Club having great fun together.
Next days were pretty busy as we were doing our best to help Stepan to organise the whole event which made all of us very tired becouse the only break between work were hard trainings in hole which was making everybody really tired after even one run.
As about the hole. We had different experiences about the hole, on first two days Honza had been very happy with it throwing really sick rides while for me it had worked horrible allowing to do me around 5 tricks in two days. In next days water been raising and it wasn’t that trashy anymore, but you could go super high what Ondra used to do with his sick air moves. Saturday prelims went pretty fast becouse of really short Eddy and bubbles which were pulsing really hard making some evil flushes. For us – Pirates it went pretty satisfacting throwing all of us to semifinals, Ondra from 7th place, Honza from 4th and I from 1st.
After this there has been Slopestyle European Championships World Premier, which was awesome event! Consisted of four parts in a single run – You were starting at ramp which led you straight to water giving big speed and nice bounce on the water to throw sick wave moves. You could see huge Pan Ams from Jan Liska, Helixes from Marcel and massive air screws from Stepan ! Then next stop was at the wave - you had 20 seconds there to throw all the moves you can! But you had to watch for flush becouse if you get it you are not allowed to come back! Next stop was V-hole with same time rules as wave. It was really fun to try anything there. Last stop was the hole were the competition had been. You could do all moves you wanted in every place and the sum on the end counted. Overall winner was Marcel Bloder!
After this sweet event it was semifinals time. And all 3 Pirates have qualificated for final from top places! Ondra 3rd, Honza 2nd and I defended my 1st place.Following us was Marcel from 4th and Jirka Langer from 5th place.
That was time to relief and for huge party! With great concert of band, beatiful fireshow given by Maja and crew, which Honza Havelka and me joined later, followed by big party with DJs. which closed with DJ Baltazar at 5 in the morning!
Next day was really hot but it didn’t prevent public to come for the show! Water level has dropped quite much since previous day making the hole trashy and closed again which gave us beatiful final! All of mens were throwing huge tricks but judges appreciated ones from pirates mostly! The gold went to Honza Spindler, followed by me with silver and Marcel with bronze. Unfortunetly for Ondra he missed it just a bit and came 4th. 5th place has stayed with Jirka.
That was really great event and great time with loads of public and friends! Big thanks from our hands go to Stepan for organising everything!
Next weekend - Lipno Devils extreme race!
