Freestyle The European Freestyle Pro Tour is recognized as our IFCA Freestyle Europeans. 2005: Very successful tour with 10 events and 101 participants 2006: Tour has started with 7events so far from 11 and already 101 participants so far EFPT was not happy with IFCA last year, specially the not granting of slalom worlds to Silvaplana and the improved cooperation with PWA seems the problem. On launching the discussed Freestyle world ranking they threatened to stop co-operation so we suggested they propose alternative for near future. No feedback so far. Slalom The Slalom discipline is still growing and we have great confidence in the future of slalom. 2003 : organisation : HWO Almanarre - France 39 participants, 12 pays 23 hommes 4 femmes 8 masters 4 jeune 2004 : organisation : Taiwan / Isle of Wight cancelled 2005 : organisation : Rene Egli / Fuerteventura 72 participants, 20 pays 47 hommes 7 femmes 14 masters 4 jeune 2006 : organisation : Sportworksgroup / Alacati 114 participants, 24 pays 73 hommes 11 femmes 21 masters 9 jeune The Slalom Europeans 2005 were very well organized in one of the best slalom areas of the World Alacati in Turkey.
