Singapore National Freestyle Championship or SNFC for short, was great. Was on last Sunday at Sembawang. Pretty much arrived when the Freestyle SLALOM Men's competition ended (came for the slide event which was next) but managed to catch world no. 14, Clarence Cheung and 17 Terence Cheung (yes they are brothers).
Made me feel proud to be Singaporean cause they are the first "true blue" Singaporeans that i have seen who have made it so well in the sports scene but get ready for the next one which I found out half an hour later. The world no. 1, 2 and 4 in Freestyle SLIDE Men, come from Singapore! Definitely wowed me at that instant.
To me the slide even for men, was incredible. Sliding is somewhat like drifting on skates, so imagine around 30 people sliding. The amount of rubber that came off after just 10 minutes of warm-up had to be swept off and when swept, formed very visible dust clouds 5 meters away. The world no. 1 really deserves to be there, although I didn't see him in the finals, his warm up runs were enough to impress me senseless. The slides he did looked impossible and without a doubt, stylish to near perfection.
Here's a video link for those who don't know what sliding is like yet.
