Hi folks,
ESK8FR and the Carve Electric Skateboarding UK group have joined forces to organise what will be one of the biggest (if not the biggest) European events of the year.
We are planning to meet up for a weekend of e-skating fun from the 11 to the 14th of July, in and around Paris.
We’d love it for as many e-skaters from other countries as possible to show up and make this the best event possible. We’re also obviously extending the invitation to the manufacturers, with different sponsorship package types available.
We’re a few months away, but it’s best to organise things with time. Please spread the word in your own groups and let me or @okp know if you’d like to help organising or if you want to share your ideas. We’ll waive any event fees for volunteers willing to help us for the whole duration of the event, so let us know if you’d like to help making this event a success!
PROGRAM DETAILS
We’ve finally came up with a rough budget and, because unfortunately great events like this have inherent costs (sound systems, generators, insurance, health & safety, etc) we do need to charge a small fee to each participant: €20 will give you access to the venues and activities, as well as to the “vendors village”. We’re thinking of making a run of t-shirts for the event for a small price, so do let us know if you’re interested in buying one.
Again, this is very much an event by the riders for the riders, so we’re not expecting to make any profit at all…
FOR VENDORS: we’ll be ready in the coming days with a sponsor pack, at which point we’ll be able to start contacts in order to organise your level of participation in this event. The sponsor package will come with a tiered system of participation, which we’re positive will be of your liking. Do note that this will be the biggest event this year in Europe, with vendors from all over the world already committed or very interested in taking part. You will not want to pass on this opportunity of showing your kit to the community and to check on what the competition is doing!
ACCOMMODATION DETAILS:
Auvers sur Oise is situated just north of Paris, so you’ll be within commutable range if you do choose to stay in Paris. If you do so, we’d recommend to stay north of Paris. Auvers sure Oise has a few places to stay:
- The local camping park, with plenty of space for tents and very reasonable prices;
- Hotel des Iris, small nice hotel in town;
- Hotel Lemon (Mery sur Oise/Cergy, 3 miles away), which is cheap as chips (£31 per room per night) but seems to have less than positive reviews;
- Hôtel Restaurant Campanile Taverny (a couple of train stations away), with reasonable prices;
- A few B&Bs in the area; also, AirBnB accommodation seems to be quite cheap in this area;

Or just the 11th I couldn’t tag in the last comment…
I think there is now a train from Moscow to Paris but it would take 2-3days or so 
Edit: at least if
