King of Handrail Competition Part 1

First off, I'd like to say happy new year 2009 to all my readers. It has been an amazing 2008 for all of us and let's hope that 2009 will be more exciting with newer events, sessions and competitions.

Now, let's get started with my report of the recent King of Handrail Competition 2008. I will be dividing the report in 2 parts. I'll start off with our trip to KL, the problems we encountered and the prelims.

19/12/08

The plan was to go from Muara to Labuan taking the last boat out at 4.40pm and get on the plane from Labuan to KL at 8.50pm. But we left town abit late, arriving at Muara port at about 4.30. We were told that the boat have already left - semua panic yo!! haha fortunately, the boat pusing balik and picked us up along with some other people at the port.



Datang saja Labuan, tarus ambil taxi k airport coz takut ketingalan lagi hahaha Datang di airport about 5.30, went to McD to kill some time.



Delay tia lagi flight to 9.45. Gila boring wah menunggu...



20/12/08

Datang KL around 12+ midnight. Ed and Lui picked us up at the airport. Stopped by to get some groceries and went to Mont Kiara hostel. Checked in at about 2+ am if im not mistaken.

We had to wake up at 7 coz the bus taking us all to the putrajaya was scheduled to leave at 730. Tapi biasalah, jln nya kul 8 jua.

Datang putrajaya around almost 9, and it was quite a disappointment for us to see the rail. It was quite short but manageable lah. Waited for the others to come, chill and practise.






Prelims started off with 26 skaters divided into 4 groups with 10 mins for each group. Best trick format, top 10 will be selected to go to the finals.







The top 10 skaters selected for the finals were:

1. Sham (MY)
2. Fazuly (SG)
3. Ed (MY)
4. Koo (BN)
5. Eyan (BN)
6. Jufri (SG)
7. Ilman (MY)
8. Mizan (SG)
9. Sahrizal (SG)
10. Syafiq (SG)

That's it for now. Stay tune for the finals and the video.
