European Cycle Messenger Championships

Is anyone planning on going to this? I'm not a courier, but I'm going to be out there around that time anyway. If there's a London contingent going I'd like to tag along and have a go at the race...

Last time I knew about it, you had to be actively employed/registered with a courier firm. Could be different now though. I'd love to see the battle between the Germans and the Dutch. The Germans are very very very serious...all waxed and everything.

yes Rollapaluza are going, think we've just sold our last place in the van...check with Caspar...taking some polo players with us I believe??

"While most competitors are bike messengers, events are open to everyone."

I'll be there! ECMC is open to everyone: it's principally for messengers, but exengers and neverwasengers are all welcomed.

OK, sounds good. Anyone mind an unfit neverwasenger tagging along? I'll probably be in the country then anyway, so will ride down from Haarlem.

i'm going

I think I am too :-)

I won't be there. Apparently airlines have weight restrictions in passenger class now, and its too cold in the hold. Somebody do videos?

Yeah there's this pretty good skater from Eindhoven, can't remember the name though...

wieger van wageningen... he's a pro for Nike SB and he had a shoe designed by him with the Piazza statue on it and the shoe's insoles had the design of the Perry Sport building at the piazza on them...

EHV had a very good scene a few years ago (still has, probably)
