Red Bull Rail Storm

Twas very good. The setup was entirely artificial unlike some of the previous years, and was effing huge!

Five different rails at the base of a 45 deg. drop in; down about 20 steps, I'll get pictures up later. Tricks of the night were probably a frontside lip to frontside board to pretzel 270 out (or in SSX style terms: X, L+L1, X, R+R1, X, R; but for real) and Brit Tyler Chorlton doing front flips down the stairs in practice.

Riders of the night for me were Mike Cassanova (WHAT a name!), Hekki Sorsa and Kareem Elrafie. The Brit pro's did us proud but got knocked out in the semi's, sadly the only injury of the night was a brit with mild concussion.

The result was: 1st America; 2nd Finland; 3rd Sweden.

Rather drunk, met lots of mates, trundled home to Bratfud at 2am.

Top night.
