"It feels so good I can still not describe it my cheeks are sore from sliming all day! I've been pretty busy answering all my emails that I had over the last few day's. I want to thank everyone for the messages it's just awesome to read all of them.
I also did two radio interview with GIEL and BNN those are two of the most famous radio stations in Holland. I also did interviews for the Spits, De Telegraaf and NU sport those are really famous newspapers and news websites." —Kevin Langeree
Here is also a clip from extremeelements.tv:
"So this year has sort of come to a disappointing end for me. I feel like it finished pretty harsh for me in the end, there was 4 events this year with 1 discard, my best 3 results were two 1st and a 3rd but unfortunately there was less points in Fuerte so that 1st place ended up being a result that I had to discard? I thought that was a sort of weird rule but I guess thats the way it goes. So for sure a combination of events didn’t work in my favor this time around, if the points stayed the same in Fuerte I think I would have won but they were the rules this year so now it is time for me to move on and forward and see what 2010 brings." —Aaron Hadlow
