Shred 30 : Tuomas Riisalo is the world champion (sorry but probably a mistake in his name)
Andrew is second, forgot who is 3rd.

Jakob won STP, Sergey is 3rd, I think Szymon is 2nd.

Some guy from germany won intermediate, there where some good intermediate routines, but many drops.

circle finals is today, I will film this and post it saturday perhaps.

Currently uploading a video with about 10 routines from semi finals, I don`t have the others.

Also will make a video from STP finals later today.

In the last pool from routines, Jay Boychuk, Vasek and Sergey where dropless if I remember correctly.

Serge Kaldany won circle comp, Sergey K 2nd, Norek 3rd, and Phil M 4th place.

In net, Manu won singles for the 11th year in the row, by beating JF in 2 close sets.

Oxana is the female net champion.

Flash did not make routine finals.

Parties have been great, but the organization has been astoundingly horrible. This is literally the worst run worlds I have been to.

I think I'm gonna skip the last days of worlds, there is just no point. Maybe I'll go see Finals,

Yeah, organization has been terrible. I am very, very disappointed and have barely had an opportunity to play all week. I will rant in my blog, but no bathrooms at event site is definitely among the low points, not to mention no rain site the first few days and a TERRIBLE rain site the last few days.

Some trick highlights are some stuff like, Serge hit quantum ducknig whirl in circle finals, Norek opened a run with janiwalker - stepping whirl repeat in circle -- I think in the same run he hit, like, mullet, PS DLO, and fog - smog - pigbeater attempt? Olaf hit all of his sick 3s, including nemesis - food - gangsta party, and I think, nemesis - food - marius? Sergey opened a run with ripped warrior - blurry ducking whirl.

Vasek getting bumped out of request contest was cool. Norek won with pdx whirling swirl - little apple, I think. Gielnik came second, and Kevin said that it was the same finalists at the Polish camp, or something, the previous week. I forget what Vasek dropped on... something - locomotion?

Not much sideline shred, unfortunately, which is lame, and I am aching to play. Today there is only net until 7 PM-ish, because there is no indoor space for freestyle, and it has been raining non-stop for 2 days. Lame. So lame. I hope I get to eithe play or at least watch people play later today some time. Also the host hostel has no toilet paper and no hot water for the past 2 days. I washed in water so cold that it frosted the faucet.

It's cool that Serge won circle. Phil had the best variety -- he had a rad run at the end of that round with rake variations and walkovers, and whatever, and weirder stuff.

Norek also opened a run in circle with whirring swirl. For some reason Olaf didn't make circle. Uhh, also, yeah, Jay did awesome in his routine, but he was in the pool of death with Sergey Koylov who also went dropless and Vasek...who probably did too. And Andrew second in the world in shred 30 !

small writeup in my blog! maybe there is some more, i dont know!

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 16 Aug 2008 07:51

Hmm, even though it sorta sounds like hell, I still woulda like to have come. It's all about the people!

Is the czech republic just crazy corrupt? One of my strongest memories from being there was that you couldn't trust cabs.

Pretty or not, I'd like to be safe, please!

Now, everyone get on writing their scathing reviews so I can get reading.

PS (I wish I had thought of this myself, I only made the image)
