Hello everyone,
I'd like to announce Battle Bremen, a freestyle skating competition taking place in Bremen, Germany on April 30th and May 1st, 2011.
Technical information:
- There will be a freestyle slalom battle and a speed slalom contest
- There might be also slide and jump contests depending on time and participants
- It's a
World Slalom Series event, so the freestyle slalom and speed slalom results will count for your WSSA ranking
- This is a "Basic Event" aka "Two Cone Event", which means the first places for style/speed get 200 points each
- The event will take place in the roller sports stadium ("Rollsportstadion") Bremen
- This stadium has a very nice flat and level concrete floor the size of an inline hockey field (40x20m)
- It's outside but has a roof, so rain is no problem
- We have this nice place for two whole days for ourselves!
- Event home page with more information:
http://www.jlippert.net/battlebremen/- There's also a
Facebook eventNon-technical stuff:
I'm hoping that this event will be a little like the early and/or smaller but quite international battle events like Battle UK, Freestyle Skating Weekend Mönchengladbach, Battle Belgium (yes, Battle Belgium!

) etc. which are events "by skaters for skaters", where people came from all over Europe, all over the world in fact, and traveled long ways just to meet other skaters.
I'd like this event to start on Friday, April 29th already, by meeting in a restaurant with all the people who have arrived already or will arrive in the evening. We will also go to some place for food and drinks on Saturday evening together if you like.
Please tell everyone about this! Any questions, just ask here or use the eMail address you find on the WWW site.
Hope to meet you in Bremen!
Jochen
