LG Action Sports : Paris Trocadero, Street Finals
up : Mathias Silhan, who ranked 3rd
Mike Opalek, the ‘official ASA reporter’ wrote a report about the finals that took place in Paris on the 3rd of September 2006. You can read about the Paris Street and Vert Prelims here (report & results) and don’t miss the video that aired on french Tv (France 2) talking about the Lg Action Paris contest (in french, but the video is nice).
In the Shadow of the Tower
I never would have imagined there were so many rollerblading fans in Paris, but it felt like half the city turned up for the street finals. The French love their countrymen, so
Stephane Alfano and Steven Aleil were especially popular but they also went crazy for the girls and pretty much anybody who rocked.
Before the street comp, Fallon Heffernan popped her shoulder out of the socket twice. It looked like she wasn’t going to do much after a cautious first run. Fabiola on the other hand, did a solid run with a 540 over the box and a smooth soul down the double barrel rail that put her in first after the first run.
Katie Ketchum, Martina Svobodova and Jenna Downing all put together good lines, but after Fallon’s explosive second run, it was clear that she was going to take the women’s street.
In the men’s street event, Chris Haffey was the man to beat and there were a few people eying him to take his spot. Berlin’s winner Nicolas Schopfer didn’t skate as well as he should have. He did beat Oli but that’s not saying much since Oli showed up late and only took one run without a warm up. […]

Haffey était trop mauvais le premier jour de la compèt… Le seul trick qu’il a mis sur le rail c’était genre un soule jusqu’à la moitié du rail… Comment il s’est qualifié? Sinon Chaz était très très fort, rien à dire…
C’est bizarre que Roman Abrate soit pas dans le classement final, il avait fait des meilleurs runs certains…
Et enfin Fallon rules!!!
