Some photos for the TR2009 event
HK team arrived at the hotel on Thursday morning with an overnight flight
The Korean host took us for a lunch with traditional Korean food
After lunch, we went straight to the slope for a half day practice together with the Korea, Taiwan and Singapore team. The flying slope was on top of a dead volcano, and the slope is round outside with some overgrown trees which were a bit challenging for us.
However, the landing was easy, and this slope is also DS capable, so I did DSing using my Aris for great fun!
After an overnight flight with only 2 to 3 hours of sleep, C.M. was really enjoying a snooze after a practicing runs
Back to the hotel after the practice, and we still had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the balcony of the hotel room
The first day for the contest was another small volcano slope, and we needed to hike 150m up
This slope is very challenging, not only is its length is short, maybe about 120m, but also it is a bit round outside, which will have side wind on both side. Also, the average wind speed that day was only about 4 to 5 m/s

After dinner we went out to buy some fireworks and then went to the seaside for celebration
An official group photo in the third day of the event. The wind was weak and variable in the third day, the organizer tried to run a round but unfortunately, the wind changed direction and got weaker at the middle of the round, so the contest was called off

Taiwan team has done a fantastic job and performed consistently well to grab the top three awards. Fortunately, the HK team can still keep the best speed award with a stunning 32.75s record!
