A few quick notes after busy day of attending the RainCity / Bryght-sponsored Symposium at Vancouver's Take 5 coffeeshop.
The event linked up the Torino street-maniacs Krug, Scales and (the not sooo maniacal) Bman at the BC lodge in Turin, Italy. Participants on the Western hemisphere included Gold Medalist Ross Rebagliati, plus photo-machine Roland Tanglao, boy-wonder Will Pate, very public Michael Tippet, photo queen Spiral Goddess, my buddy Bread and many more.
More results from Saturday and Sunday

Estonia's Kristina Smigun opened the medal count for the former-Soviet, Baltic countries with a Gold in 15km pursuit Cross-Country (the race in which Canada's Beckie Scott finished 6th).
