    Default Zap International Contest results

    Just to let you know, that even tough the we had the presence of french (about 10 riders, including the last year's european champion), american (Jason Wilson, Joey Vavala, Chris Rudolph, Ivan Ashauer, Zack Smetts, and i can't remember more names) Spanish riders (about 7, and some that ride for Team Folha Espaņa) two crazy dutch guys, who are really nice guys and went there to show off their boards.

    The semi final heats were something quite amazing, in one heat it was Mega, João Dinis, Lino Curado, Olivier Chaubert. And in the other one was Hugo Santos, Joey Vavala, Jason wilson and Zack smetts.

    To the final went Mega, João Dinis, Hugo Santos and Joey Vavala.

    it was an amazing final heat, with an amazing crowd watching, there were people screaming, cheering, it was impressive.

    And after all the winner was (as expected) Hugo Santos, wich is continuing to prove, that in europe, he rules.

    A word to the American team Zap Riders, you are some funny guys, everybody here loved to hang out with you guys, and we hope to see you again next year, by the way, you'll probably need a couple of days to recover when you go back to the US because portuguese beer is not as light as the american one.

    Sounds like you guys had a blast, hopefully I can travel to Europe on of these days

    But.................

    why put Zack, Jason W, and Joey V all in the same semi final heat?

    kinda reminds me of some of the contests in Fl where heats are all Fl Zap riders in one, and all Cali guys in another

    the first heats were made by a drawing, and then the places in wich they ended in their respective heats, amongst with the drawing of the following heats made it happen like that, it wasn't on purpose.

    And yeah, we had a blast.
