Zach Shaw sent some pics from a demo that he and Spanish fly (Eduardo Terreros) did this weekend, Marek Rejman flew them over for the day for a Demo at the O2 arena in Prague! Zach reports: Fly did not have such a good time, the airline lost his new ride and Marek took him to buy a new bike & pads for the demo, Fly missed the first demo to get the bike and in the second demo with only 10 mins riding time under his belt he did a 540 that ended with him hanging front wheel and slamming pretty hard!

It was apparent straight away that he was hurt, we ended up on the bottom of the ramp me holding a drip in Fly's arm which the first aid guys set up to help with his pain! You could tell his arm was broken in some way and after a visit to hospital they found he had broken the radial head off his right elbow (not good this happened to me a few years ago and I was lucky not to have surgery) Marek being the cool guy he is made sure that Eduardo was ok and pretty much

stopped the surgeons opening him up at the hospital, after a chat with Eduardo he decided he would be best getting it fixed in spain so Marek booked him on the next flight back to spain business class so he would be more comfortable!

Not many promoters would take such good care of the riders they book for shows so a big thanks goes out to Marek for looking after Spanish Fly.

On another note Marek took us to the new site that they have bought to build a new skatepark in Prague....it was huge, he explained this is why there would be a years delay in Prague being able to host the Worlds, and when this is completed in 2008/2009 it will be an am

azing place to host the event.

Big thanks goes out to Marek for looking after us, and all the crew that took part moto-X and Sk8 at the O2 Arena in Prague.
