2010 Pitchbrothers Smackdown - AllMYRC.com-A Radio Control Helicopter, Airplane and Car Community

Thursday, May 6th
Well after a long flight from Houston, I made it to Aalborg Denmark for the 2010 Pitchbrothers Smackdown. This is the second year this event has been held, with last year being one of the biggest helicopter fun fly's/ parties in Europe. This year the guys held the event at their home field outside of Aalborg, with 150 pilots showing up from all over europe.
Today was just a setup day, with pilots showing randomly throughout the day. Nothing too crazy was happening, just meeting up with old friends and helping Rasmus and the guys set everything up.
I will be uploading pictures throughout the event, with videos following once I get home! Stay Tuned!

Today has been very very windy, with gusts up to 35-40 miles per hour. Which unfortunately has kept flying to a minimum. However, in typical pitchbrothers style they arent letting some cold windy weather stop the fun, and most have spent the time catching up with old friends and enjoying some cold danish beer!

At dinner time, the guys started the raffle give away with lots of great prizes to be won. There were 2 Trex 250 kits, A Raptor 50 Titan kit, A JS v2 kit as well as tons of other accessories to win. The best part was that was only half the raffle with more prizes planned for tomorrow night.

Afterwards a few pilots attempted to fly with the help of some flood lights, and the rest got the party started in the main party tent. I held a Beer Pong Tournament for all of the people here, 8 teams competed and it really turned out great. My team, the "Norsky's" which included Tom-Erik Roflsen and myself ended up winning it! There's plans to continue this tournament at all of the major events I attend, with the next being the IRCHA tournament! More details to come in a few weeks.

Tomorrow should be a little bit better day, with the winds dying down. See you then!

Well today didnt have any of the crazy winds from yesterday, however its been raining off and on all day. That's not stopping the Pitchbrothers though, as pilots have been in the air throughout the day! Looks like just about all of the pilots have shown up and there are quite a few spectators from around europe that showed up as well.
