Big thanks to all who raced, and of course to DP who sorted out all the boring stuff

Was great to see some old faces this weekend (even saw that twat djv1nc3 from yonks ago ) and of course all the new ones.

I've got about 90 videos that I'll be uploading over the next few years or so, I'll try to find a way of letting people know which particular vids they are in.

Scores on the doors at my end:

yeldar2097 - 7.47.44 - Sebenco Climb Reverse Endurance
yeldar2097 - 7.28.86 - Anulpha Pass Reverse Endurance
yeldar2097 - 7.08.xx (couldn't read it, looked a bit like 62 but not sure) - Modesto Heights Endurance

yeldar2097 - 2.17.03 - Amphiseum
yeldar2097 - 1.43.48 - Modesto Heights Reverse

This is all I got from my races but there may have been more.

Thanks again to everyone who took part, was a blast! Now I need a sleep

Just wanted to say thanks again for welcoming me into the races and being so friendly even though I'm really terrible on Phantom. Playing Avalon this weekend really motivated me to improve.

You are all world class competitors, and it is rare to find a community of elite players that are so open to engaging and supporting your average enthusiast. Tons of respect to all of you.

thanks to everyone that i raced!|(special thx to DP for organizing and Woopzilla for the videos)
it's always nice to make some new friends.
i was completely rubbish this time (i blame the intense heat ) but who cares? i had fun racing with all those top pilots and that's the important thing!

i hope to see you on the next Avalon!

[novide]

Big THX to DP and all pilots... this avalon was great fun again

i have only done 10 vids:

woopzilla you are crazy thx for your videos, i think i watched all

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Wow, what a weekend! It was a real pleasure racing with everyone and I had a great time with you all. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves - here's to the next one

Kudos to all of our video makers, but especially Woopzilla

Woopzilla - I know I keep saying it, but I really can't thank you enough for all of those videos that you made - 134 videos totalling 5 hours... wow.

Yeldar - Another impressive video collection I hear! Get those vids uploaded - there's one in particular I want to see - I think you know which one

Kaori - Thanks for hosting the Pure event - it's great to hear that it was the biggest one ever

TropicMoon10 - I'd like to offer my appreciation to you too, offering to host the Pulse session at such short notice after I had forgotten to sort that bit out

Kanar - Last but by no means least. It was great to race with you again kanar, Avalon isn't Avalon without a bit of Kanar in it

And finally, I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along - you made this Avalon is really good one

[xtriko]

as some of you know, i've been a little off wipeout for several reasons. but i made a few races with DP, DE, FEISAR etc... It was awesome to feel my heartbeat going up! i'm rusty, REALLY rusty but the joy of playing this game with such great friends done the job. Even won 1 race! lol I think that 2 weeks from now I'll be able to start my come back move but for these 2 weeks... BOOMFESTIVAL 2010!!! PSYCHEDELIC TRANCE!!! WOWOWOW
Respect to every WipEout Pilot and the Biggest Thanks goes to Kanar. Because of you, we have Avalon, and because of Avalon, I've drunk so much whisky & beer & bacardi & vodka & wine XD

LOL mate, but moderation is key mm? Damn what a special community there. I spent almost 3/4 months away from here recently, only doin phantom speed visit here or at woarena, and last tournament & this one -of course- caught me once again deeply into world of wipeout. You're fkin right Haiku, never seen a place like that and never met people like all of you guys in my entire gamer life. I even met in real life guys who were only just psn avatars at first lol. I truly believe this place is unique on the web. All the best pilots came here, most of them stayed, at least for a while, and the rare bad apples were banned (cheers Reza! __sorry mods, couldn't restrain myself, was kinda "I told you so!"_).
Arh already said that a billion times before but we're sharing really more than a passion for a simple _but perfect ah ah_ videogame. People coming from all over the world and sharing the same spirit, sometimes the same aspirations... I can understand why it's been 9 years now Rob is running the place. And I can understand why he wants to move on... We're the first generation to fully experience persistent worlds. Hard to deal with that mentally sometimes -at least for me lol-, when your real life is absolutely "normal" on every aspects. I started to become attached to a lot of people there. That's sometimes really disturbing though lol, cos' the frontier between real & virtual life is becoming porous...
Aaaaaanyway, all this crap to just say THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN, AWESOME WEEK-END, CAN'T WAIT FOR TEH NEXT!!!

And I'm baaack to practice Me wants your tee-shirt BW!!!

He won almost every race, except one. Some are truly amazing times.

MSSA is truly legend now, and thanks to him we definitely solved the CFW/Jaytech "issue" : practice is everything, that's it.

[TropicMoon10]

TropicMoon10 - I'd like to offer my appreciation to you too, offering to host the Pulse session at such short notice after I had forgotten to sort that bit out

It was a great experience, everything went pretty much as planned.
I'd like to thank YOU for letting me be the host of this fantastic event.

I can't wait for the next Avalon!

MSSA is truly legend now, and thanks to him we definitely solved the CFW/Jaytech "issue" : practice is everything, that's it.

Yes indeed! There is nothing Jaytech can do that non-Jaytech can't. Anything is possible, you just have to belieeeeeeeeeve!!!

[yeldar2097]

MSSA really needs to get himself a PS3....

[AG-wolf]

Im sure the next event will be once Im back at school, but I'll try to get PSN ports opened on my connection and practice more so I won't rage-quit the second I jump into a race

[Nutcase:259]

From what i raced in. this was pretty sweet, good test of the depth for a relative noob like me . the vids are awsome, for learning the technique too (tekkers!) . gotta get that practice in and come back stronger.

[yeldar2097]

Sorry it took so long, sorry for the quality of the vids, sorry for the quality of the racing, sorry for the quality of my language
To make up for all that I took the liberty of including the final positions in each race below each link (took about 10 years). That way you should be able to find yourself more easily.
Anyway, enough of my babble, here you go ^_^ :

Avalon - Impulse

[DreamyElf]

impressive work yeldar!
i will surely watch them all after i finish watching woopzilla's videos
