Takeshi Takes It Back
Inline Vert Finals Recap

After his first place finish in the prelims, Marc Englehart was up all night doing a rain dance. Still, the vert comp went off without a hitch. Taïg Khris threw down; Shane Yost killed it, but in the end, nobody could top the original golden boy, Takeshi Yasutoko.

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. [...]

Gay Paree Inline Street
Inline Street Prelims Recap

It was the American, 2005 LG Action Sports World Champion, Chris Haffey, who came out and stole the show in his second run.

A 900 over the launch box then went on to true mizou down the rail and a disaster soul down the rail box. He had the most consistent run with the best variety of tricks. We are looking forward to the finals tomorrow when we will see if Chris Haffey can take the gold.

Inline Street Finals Recap

Nicolas Schopfer was our king of the street today. The Swiss skater had the cleanest run out of everyone. His highlights included a 360, negative makio down the ledge, acid soul and a 270 backside farfegnugen.

The 19 year old is stoked to say the least, capturing his first victory of the season. Read the full article.
