Good stuff Chris, who’s writing the reports? I was hoping there might have been more stuff on this site by now. When is the draw being made?

If any of team GB read this, good luck to you all, I’m sure you’ll do us proud. Also glad to see the Cornish flag has made it to California as it’s practically a Cornish team!

Karl, I met a good mate of yours from St. Ives down Aggie yesterday, he was asking if I knew how you were getting on, I told him kick-off was Tuesday and to check this site, I’ve forgotten his name already

Richard, get your hair cut! I barely recognised you in the pictures.

yeah i was sort of wondering the same thing. perhaps at the least a daily wrap-up on the same day? best would be whats happening within the hour with pictures and film? so whats up?

I just visited the british kneelo clubs site and they have daily updates and pics!!!. anyone else wanting info of whats happening might want to check it out at some time? very kewl on those from the UK to get the rest of us informed

Go, Brits! You started all this Oz/Yank stuff. Take back what's yours.

Big-Up to Crox and the other subjects of Her Majesty for posting the photos of the contest, they are greatly appreciated here in the southwest corner of Cali. Keep up the good work on your site and best of luck at the contest....you redcoats will need it against those rebel americans (I kid!!!).

Big thanks to Bryn, Chris & Tony updating the British sites (Dunc and Sky also for the reports & pics).
Enjoyed Mark Ashby's Aussie write up as well (I'll always remember Mark for having to be restrained from getting off a moving bus while it was doing about 40 mph in Tahiti

).

Anyone know if, when & where heats/results/scores will appear?
(I appreciate the KSUSA crew must be pretty busy running the contest and competing).

Great update. And the Brits were, indeed, ripping yesterday at The Lane.
I saw great speed and some solid off the top moves. Nice style.
