Last day

Hy friends,

This is my last day in france, tomorow I will take the plane early in the morning (around 4am) to go to the north shore of Venezuela (Margarita island) for the next stage of the PKRA world tour.

Margarita island is a nice place for riding (flat water, better temperature than in france, ect)

Here is a pic when we went riding after the comp with Aaron on a good place called La Palme:

Pkra France Day 3

Today 8am skeepers meeting.

Strong offshore wind, frist heat start at 9am, I was on the second one.

So I was a bit speed to set everithing.

30 minutes later my heat was on, 25 to 30 knots I think on my 7.5 was very powered.

I did some mega loops and nice downloop hooked-in HP ect… I pass my heat against sobody called Via.

Then bad luck again I was against Reno Romeu, Same very hight level heat with a lot of wind, I made a super high mega loop with a spining of the bar in the air to untwist the lines. Was a great succes, Did a lot of powered trics but juges discided the other way…

ps: brake my strap on the last heat on a massive L3 hooked-in!!!

Hope next stage I will do better.

So now we got the end of the week to chill a bit. For myself I’m gonna sleep and recover from my very long flight from New Cal.

I was messing a round a bit this day cause of the jetlag.

Next stage: Venezuela
