COASH conflicts with an IIDA world cup in Germany, so I think many
inline racers will be In Germany. But the conflict is not as bad as
last year, when the IGSA champ was on the same date as the IIDA/FIRS
world champ at the excellent course in Lyon, and only Yvonne and I
were doing inline at IGSA. Some Swiss riders and multi-sport riders
will be at COASH, so the organizer said it would count as IGSA world
championship as long as 4 inline racers come. Worst case (2 inline)
would be practice and world cup race (not championship). I expect a
few Swiss riders will show up that can't travel to Germany, I should
see if I can get the Lenoir brothers to
come and show us their stylish and fast skating. COASH saves about 10
hours of driving for the Swiss and Italian racers, and all the lugers
and skateboard regulars will be there, party time!

Warren, let's make it happen!
