Over 50 club

As I reported here

2 over-50 riders did race snowboard World Championships at Lachtal / Kreischberg (Austria) last week.

Vladimir Bella (Slovakia) is 55 Years old and get last rank No.52. While Leos Prokopec Senior (Czech Republic) is 58 Years old. He did not finish.

Bella tooks 40 % more time for his run, than slowest young Canadian rider.

As from a note of a newspaper both crashed on that run of Worldchampionships.

Prokopec was crossing the course of Bella, hit him and they crashed to the ground. Bella became a re-run.

We can find 2 more riders on FIS races coming from the "Over 50 club".

Marko Vezovisek from Slovenia, he is 55 Years old,

Fabrizio Fava from Italy, he sis 54 Years old.

The 4 riders do FIS races and/or Europa-Cup races during the season.

Well, I'm a bit older now so here's a pic from when i was  64 years, 1 month & 2 days !

Ya never know when your last day is coming when you are this old so I better get the good pics out of my phone while I can :)

 

PS:  it really helps not to cross your old line as the slightest skid and you won't get back above the tower again.

 

Later !
