| 4th OG Summer Gypsy Games Flatland Camp and Contest Location: Vorosmarty Gimnasium, Ajka, Hungary Date: 07-13 August 2006 Event description This will be the 4th annual OG flatland camp and contest in a row, which now gathers flatland riders from all over the world. The Summer Gypsy Games is a very relaxed and joyful event, and despite all the major flatland contests, there will be enough space to practice for everybody. You will not have to worry if you prefer longer rolling combos, the floor is suitable for all types of riding. The location We chose the city of Ajka to do the event for many reasons: it is a small city so the distances are negligible, there are three good asphalt handball courts right next to one another, in a very nice environment, and the youth hostel is cca. 10 metres away from the courts. So everything is packed together for a really good event. Plus, Ajka is dirt cheap, there are supermarkets, pubs and pizzerias 150m away from the place of the event. A pizza costs 950HUF (4 euro), one beer costs 300HUF (1.25 Euro). The schedule There will be the flatland camp from Monday till Friday. You can ride as much as you want, make friends, hang out at night, whatever you want. Many people get so much motivation here that lasts for a long time. The contest There will be three classes: Expert, Master and Pro. Registration: 500HUF (2 Euro) in each class. The qualifiers will be held on Saturday, so everybody will have time to get used to the floor. The finals will be on Sunday, the top 8 riders will qualify from each group. There will be no prize money, just gifts from the OG Bike Company. We did not want this event to look like a big commercial type of contest, we just do it for fun. The event is for everybody who wants to have a good time and progress. Riders that have already attended the Gypsy Games in the past years Simon O'Brien, Albert Retey, Sebastian Pospischil, Geraldo Kittel, Alexis Desolneux, Cristophe Dassié, Armin Batoumeni, Sebastian Grubinger, Michael Sommer, Markus Redlberger, Kurt Rubik, Stefan Dittrich, Moritz Edschmid, Adam Kun, Peter Szabolcsi, Pal Gyenes, Marton Szilagyi and many, many more. The number of the riders showing up is increasing every year. 50 riders attended the first Gypsy Games, then 100 riders showed up in the following year, and last year more than 150 riders came from all over Europe and Hungary. This year we expect riders from Japan, Australia, Israel, the Netherlands, England, Austria, France, Germany, Slovakia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Poland and Russia. Accomodation OG Youth Hostel We have 6-bed rooms in the youth hostel next to the courts, up to 150 beds. There is also a campsite pretty close, and a hotel is situated 300m from the place of the event. Since the number of beds in the OG youth hostel is limited, we would like to ask everybody to make a reservation by sending us an email to info@original-gypsy.com. Prices: the first night costs 2000HUF (8 EURO), all the additional nights cost 1500HUF (6 EURO), excluding breakfast. There are clean toilets and showers on every floor.

| Hi Paul, Sorry for the late reply. In fact, all the airplanes land at Ferihegy 2, it is situated just outside Budapest. Let me know how many of you plan to come, maybe I could pick you up at the airport and inform you regarding all the necessary things. It is great that you want to come, you will enjoy the camp and contest for sure. Should you need any further info, just let me know! Andras / OG Visit www.original-gypsy.com and www.bmxmag.hu | |
