Hard rain a gonna fall- pt 1

As the good Germans would say- 'dat vas szuper-yah!'
we skated the berlin marathon in a total downpour- getting drenched to the skin (suits) even before the start- and having first ever experience of hydro planning on skates thru deep pools of water- wow- our hopes for fast times unable to be realised ( although i believe Peter & Raph got some good results- nothing official yet) Inna & I managed to skate half the course together, and crossed the finish line side by side- classy- but no world records. Main point is that none of the MSC & Co team crashed in the crazy slippery conditions- but many of ze locals did- quite spectacularly- and attempted to take us down with them a couple o times- but naaaiyn- zis vill not happen- not cool Ya.
After this experience we are pre approved for any stunt work in Flood and related Hollywood disaster blockbuster. German TV had the whole thing live coverage- and we got to see a replay late last night- amazing.
Despite the conditions we all had a great time

Anyhow I'm in Heatrow- London. waiting for the connecting flight to OZ so just wanted to say more updates in person and in blog will arrive later this week as well as pictures.
