I hope that you will be able to include this information at Skate Slate, information section. You have a lot of readers in Poland. And as Longboarding is a very niche sport in Poland I hope it will be interesting for you to promote our activity and therefore longboarding in this part of world. It is also possible that someone from other countries based on the information at Skate Slate will be able to come and be our guest in Warsaw.
I am sorry that we are writing so late, just a few days before the event, but we were struggling with all permissions necessary to close 2 major roads in the city therefore we could not announce it earlier.
With kind greetings from Poland,
Marcin Eckert
Warsaw Asphalt Surfers
