As I competed myself I can not remember everyone's runs and describe what tricks where done, the different styles and directions, tricks landed and so forth. The nature of a contest this big makes me forgot my own skating... We all have to wait for the vidoeclips and DVD's.
Monday after the contest everyone but me seemed to relax from skating. The weather was getting cold in Sweden, but this monday in Brazil was hot and nice and Paulo Folha that I stayed with took me to the Villlalobos park as I had to skate in the warm weather.
Most freestylers in Sao Paolo, and they are many, more than one can imagine, skate at the Ibira Puera park on weekends and sometimes on weekdays, but it was too far for me to go. Luckily the Germans showed up, but YoYo was with Guenter to film for the national TV (which however got cancelled as it was live and Guenters english was not up to par). To my disappointment the Germans had no boards with them! We then went to see Sao Paulo from a mountain and it was a really nice view.
The next day our Brazilian skateboarding friends took me and the German team to the beach. It was a really nice and relaxing day at the beach, and then we cruised around in the cars looking at other beaches, and also got stuck in a carchase with police that had the gun ready to shoot. It felt like we were in a movie, and it was a bit scary.
Of course we had to skate so went to this indoor skatepark. In Sweden they build indoor skateparks to protect from the cold, in Brazil they build indoor skateparks to protect from the heat. It was however a very warm skatepark this evening, but that did not stop us freestylers from skating the pools, banks and the flatland area. At the end of the evening the session turned into a intense freestyle session.
My trip ended in a very nice way. Paulo drove me to the airport and we were going to say hi to his brother (inventor of some crazy 50/50 tricks I had only heard about but finally got to see) that work at the flight control tower. They had a surprise to me: a guided tour up the tower! I got to see all the computers and monitors, it was like a kids dream come true.
This was my first vist to Brazil but it will not be my last one.
