Title: Following the Worlds Freestyle Champ in Thun
Post by: LouisD on August 28, 2009, 10:03:53 AM
There is a lot of activity going on now in prep for the Worlds in Switzerland;
several blog and twitter stuff and on.

Since several of you have sponsored Billy and Carly, I thought you might be especially interested in what they are doing and how they are doing...

You can also see that EJ has a nice room with a _view_.

Playak also has a collection of all the blogs going on..http://playak.com/twitterwall.php (http://playak.com/twitterwall.php)
