Raiffeisen Street & Bowl Contest 2012 (Lausanne, Switzerland): Teaser
30, 31 August – 1st, 2nd September 2012.
This year, the spots built for the event will be even crazier! From rainbow boxes and rainbow rails to the mighty dragon rail that was featured in 2011. Skaters will have an enormous choice of spots for their skills to feast on.
Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to the ‘Lausanne Revival’: the old school skaters meeting ; meaning free skating, BBQ and swimming sessions by the lake. The legendary HS36 skatepark with its freshly renovated bowl will be open and skatable for free.
Song: FM Belfast – Vertigo.
This year a Freeride downhill run will be held during the whole weekend in the mythical ‘Vallée de la Jeunesse’, as well as a slalom competition in Vidy next to the bowl. Rollerblade will again be giving initiation sessions for the kids.
Saturday begins with qualifications in all categories! In the evening the traditional Rollerdisco will be held at the Docks, next to the HS36 skatepark, so do not forget your quads, fluorescent pants, wigs and funky dance moves!
And Sunday, the Grand Finale with finals in Pro, Amateur and Girls categories. The prize money sums up to CHF 6000.- Do not miss this special rendez-vous of the inline skating family!
The best accommodation is located right next to the site at the youth hostel or at the campsite with it’s direct access to the bowl. A special price and camping site will be provided for skaters.
