Priekuļi – excellent as always!!!
Latvian downhill longboarding series 2015 powered by Riposhop.lv has officialy finished!
Last weekend fastest riders from Latvia & Estonia gathered for the annual and legendary ‘’Priekuļi cup 2015’’!
This year organizers added a bonus – extra 90degree turn at the end of the course.
On the first day in qualification Toms Dreiblats grabbed #1 spot, but Kaspars Balamovskis, Mārtiņš Kivlinieks, Gustavs Zēgners & Gustavs Gailītis were all less than 1 second behind. Fastest from Estonian riders was Karli Kontkar who qualified 10th.
After the qualis a slide jam was held – Zēgners got the Slide King title, but Elza Volonte was the Slide Queen.
On the fina day some epic racing happened – in junior group Zēgners took the win, fallowed by Bruno Jānis Skrastiņš. In women group Lauma Stepanova got her 3rd win of the year, closely fallowed by Elīza Marija Gailīte and Arta Skudrēna. In Masters Ģirts Vārtiņš showed a dominanting performance by taking the win and series champion title in Masters group! 2nd was Edžus Konošonoks and 3rd Arguts Skudrēns.
In Open group an amazing final happened and 4th time in 5 years there was a crash in the final – after the start Dreiblats was in the lead fallowed by Kivlinieks, Gailītis and Marks Kiseļovs. Soon Kivlinieks took the lead, but on the long straight Gailitis overtook them both. Before the last turn Kivlinieks was next to Gailītis but had to take bad line and ended up crashing taking out also Dreiblats and Kiseļovs. Gailītis won, Kivlinieks got 2nd and Dreiblats 3rd. For Gailītis it was 3rd win in a row and 16th podium in a row at Latvian downhill longboarding series history!
Organizers want to say big THANK YOU to all the riders and helpers as well as the sponsors – Riposhop.lv, NRJ reklāmai, Ponolau, JJ longboards, stampa.lv! See you on the hill in 2016 J

Desert heat is not a problem at ‘’Alpaca speed festival’’ race heats!
3rd annual ‘’Alpaca speed festival 2015’’ was a blast – riders from Latvia & Lithuania gathered to race in on a super hot day with speed reaching 80km/h.
In quali junior Gustavs Zēgners surprised everyone by taking in the lead in first run. On second run series current leader Gustavs Gailītis managed to beat Zēgners time by 0,07sec. Luthuanian Rytis ‘’Godzilla’’ Stankevičius was 3rd with 0,14 sec behind Gailītis! They were fallowed by Kaspars Balamovskis, Toms Dreiblats and Ģirts Vārtiņš.
For ladies, Elīza Marija Gailīte was the fastest, for juniors it was Zēgners, but for Masters – Vārtiņš. Fastes from the rookies of this fast course was Kristaps Ozols.
Unfortunately, Rolands Stepanovs fell after finish of his 2nd quali run and broke his arm – get well soon!
Second day was the day of the finals – in Masters, Edžus Konošonoks suprised everybody by taking his 2nd win in a row, fallowed by Vārtiņš and Artjoms Smirnovs.
In juniors last two race winner Emīls Ieviņš couldn’t fallow the speed of Zēgners – Zēgners won by a huge gap!
In ladies 18 year old Elīza Marija Gailīte won 2nd year in a row leaving previous race winner Lauma Stepanova and Elza Volonte behind.
In Open final heats Smirnovs got 10th & Artūrs Pavlovs grabbed 9th spot. In consolation round just my half lenght of a board Konošonoks won 5th place against Darius Stankevičius. They were fallowed by Mārtiņš Kivlinieks (7th) and Toms Dreiblats (8th).
In the big final already from the start Gailītis took the lead, closely fallowed by Zēgners, Balamovskis and ‘’Godzilla’’. While reaching the fastest part of the course they all were superclose, but sadly Rytis Stankevičius lost his balance and fell, leaving the podium for Latvians – Gailītis took another win, fallowed by biggest surprise of the weekend Zēgners and Balamovskis!
Organizers would like to say huge THANK YOU to all the riders, course marshals, sports and recreation complex ‘’Rakši’’ for their hospitality and event sponsors – riposhop.lv, ‘’NRJ reklāma’’, ‘’Ponolau’’, ‘’JJ longboards’’, stampa.lv and festival ‘’Playground’’!
