Couldn't get to warm at this spot properly due to the f***ing security! They were everywhere!

So there were a change of plans for the first spot, since security was a major issue. Will continue the post tomorrow. Have a good day people.

BRUNEI STREET ROLLERBLADING COMPETITION: 16th December 2007

You've heard about it... you've talked about it.. you flew back to Brunei for it... (for a particular person! you know who you are... hahaha) and you might just be wondering what the hell I'm talking about.. well, wonder no more... coz here are the details for the upcoming Brunei Street Rollerblading Competition 2007.

The competition will be held on:
DATE: 16th December 2007 (Sunday)
TIME: 2pm onwards
MEETING PLACE: KFC, Yayasan

As you've probably already know, the spots for the competition is still up for voting. So keep the votes coming in while you still can! The top 4 voted spots will be used for the competition!

But on Sunday (16/12), we will all be meeting up at KFC Yayasan, and there will be a 30 minutes warm up at the ledge just infront of KFC (hopefully security will not be a problem) before we move on to the first spot (to be disclosed during the briefing session).

FORMAT:
The details would be explained better by B himself during the briefing session, but just to give you an idea of what to expect, the format would be as follow:

Depending on the number of skaters joining, the skaters would be randomly divided into groups of 5 skaters.

On each spot, 2 skaters will be kick out on each spot and the rest would move on to the next spot. NOTE: the head judge would be B himself, but other skaters will have to vote for the skaters that they think deserve to move on to the next round! Everybody will be the judge! :D

There will be 3 heat rounds at 3 different spots. The last spot would be for the FINAL. There will be 5 skaters competiting in the final round. Winner takes all. (1 WINNER only!)

The prize? I'm not sure, BUT it'll be worth over hundreds of dollars! That's what B told me. For confirmation, come to the briefing session!!

Oh... i forgot to mention... there will be a minimum entrance fee to join the competition. I THINK, it will be $5 per person. Again, better come to the briefing session on Saturday 15/12/07 to get confirmation.

So to ALL ROLLERBLADERS out there, COME and JOIN the competition!! Support the local scene!

All skaters that would be joining the competition will be featured in latest Brunei skate video. - B
