Huge update
It’s been a while so I’ve got lots of news to tell and even more pictures to share.
We went to the 4WheelFreestyle weekend in Mönchengladbach, Germany, where a lot of “famous” skaters went to, and where one of the events of the World Slalom Series took place.
I had a great time meeting all of them and of course meeting our friends from the Netherlands again. Also met a few other _really_ cool people from Poland. Shout-out to Lidia and Rafal !
Next to “meeting new people”, there was also skating to be done of course. I had the “luck” to be in the same battle-group as Xuan Le (who ranked third) and Christian Leffel (who eventually won the competition). Only the 2 first of each battle-group qualify for the next round, so yeah, obviously I got bumped quite fast 
.
I had a great time nonetheless, and I’ve added lots of new tricks to my skillset as well.
Big thank you to Rudy Op ‘t Veld for teaching me lots of stalls, and to Naomi and Tae-hong (coach of the Korean NoBreak team) for some stylish moves.
Now that I’m in my “thank you’s”, might as well go on and give thanks to 4WheelFreestyle for the great organisation and location. Real good work guys.
Thanks to Diederik Schouten for bringing along my brand new blue Seba 2008’s with you, so I could use them to jump over 1m15 in the FreeJump competition (first time I competed in FreeJump and got 2nd place! woo! yay!).
And thanks DJ (sorry, forgot your name already 
) for showing me this track-title: Moloko - Sing it back (Matthew Herbert’s Tasteful Dub). Pure bliss!
Biggest thanks go out to all belgians who joined in on the fun (you know who you are!). It wouldn’t have been the same without you guys.
Pictures!
More pictures of the event are nicely bundled on this page on 4WheelFreestyle.de.
Last sunday, Huub from BelgianInlineCenter organized the 2nd Meet’n'Greet for all belgian slalom-enthousiasts. And what a great job he did. Very nice hall, nice competition area and he even scored some cool prizes for the mini-tournament (including chocolate easter-eggs 
). Thx to all the people that showed up for being part of it and actually _making_ this 2nd Meet’n'Greet into a success that topped last years. Hopefully this trend will continue on to next year, for an even bigger and better event.
Again…Pictures!
More pictures of the event are to be found in this thread on BIC.
Shout out to our french-speaking friends from HelixRoller who came over from Namur all the way to Ghent! It was once again “très amusant” to meet you guys!
