After this years FISE i banned him from my events. I wrote him a long mail and tried to explain what he did... heres a part of it:
"I don’t know how you feel about your performances at events, but I definitely know how I (and a lot of other people) feel about it.
I’m organising events since more than 7 years now and I’m involved in almost every big event in Europe right now (judging, speaking and helping the organisers…)
And you know the funny thing? At EVERY event I’ve been to - and where you’ve been as well – there were some problems with you.
You’re destroying things, you’re acting stupid to the judges, to the speaker, to the bar girls, to everybody. Just in case you don’t know what i´m talking about, I will write down a short list of things in my mind. Not everything, but just a few things which stick out for me. Just so you know whats going on (maybe some of the things are not 100% correct, but most of them I saw by moy own and the other stories were told me by close friends):
- Stopping the X Mas Jam in Hamburg (2004) for almost 1 hour because of talking shit to me (speaker) and the international judges. You tried a 1080 but you did not land one single trick in the qualification. So you didn’t came to the finales - obviously. But you complained and talked shit for a long time. The contests couldn’t continue for one hour.
- X Mas Battle Royal 2006: almost punching Patrick Studers (organiser) girlfriend because she did not want to give you money and free beer for all the bottles you picked up from the ground (refund) – because you didn’t had the refund marks). Your (non rolling) friends at the event where talking shit to everybody and there was a really bad vibe because of that. AND in the night you and your friends run into the official contest hotel (studi organised it), you stole a lot of keys, destroyed the rooms and left again without paying – sure..
- Winterclash 2007: talking shit to the bargirls because they didn’t want to give you money and beers for A BIG TRASHBAG full of beer bottles you picked up. Also your dog was running over the street course and people can get hurt with that – believe it or not.
- Winterclash 2008: Taking the fire extinguisher and using it in the bistro where all the breakfast was getting prepared. I had to pay for the fire extinguisher and for a destroyed sound system - because the extinguisher stuff came into the technique!
- Chaz Sands Event Scotland: Spray painting „French Connection“ on the wall in the VIP room of the skatepark - which was spray painted just for the event extra for the riders!!!
Smoking in the hotel bar (which is strictly forbidden in scotland) of the official afterparty hotel which was organised by chaz for all of us. When somebody wanted to stop you, you said:
“I AM STEPHANE ALFANO, I DO WHAT I WANT!!!” . Chaz, me and some others had to tell you to leave the hotel…
But this are just some small things in my mind. The main thing come up now:
FISE 2008
"You landed ONE trick (1260°) and with that one trick you didn’t came into the top 8 ranking. (ok, at the end he landed some more, but def. not good enough for a top 3 ranking)
But your ego seems to be so big, that you couldn’t handle that. At the winner ceremony we had more than 10.000 people watching it, it was shown on tv as well and the major of Montpellier was standing next to the speaker. You entered the park with your stupid dog and grabbed the mic. Talking to the crowd, telling them that the fise sucks, that the judges (farmer, murda, kato) suck and that you should have been 1, 2 and 3rd place. “I am the fise” is what you said as well.
Than you where running away with the microphone, still talking shit. Momo Syla (French razors distributer) and the owner of NICE skateshop both tried to stop you, but you pushed them away and started to fight.
10.000 people where watching it and we could also see it on screens everywhere. People started to throw bottles to the park and screaming “fuck rollerblading” etc….
In this moment, we where all standing there and we all felt so bad to be a rollerblader. Johan from fise did such a GREAT job to promote rollerblading and it was such an amazing opportunity because so many people saw a good show. But you dumb ass destroyed everything with your show. You made people think “rolling is gay” again and you’re the reason why the organisation team started to think about rollerblading at the event again.
Oh, and should I write that you had a talk with the fise organisers and that you asked for 1.000€ because you where supposed to be first? After that all happened!"

Thats it..
I was thinking of inviting him to winterclash again, since he "behaved" all the summer at all the events... but now it seems different again ....
