Lohse Rampe Skate contest 2016 – Cologne, Germany

“It was raining heavily the days before, so they had to skip the skate contest from Saturday to Sunday and it has rained every day since.

So whatever, god had mercy for some poor little 4×4 rolling board pilots, thank you for that wonderful sunny day. You did get a fair reward as all the spectators got more than a decent action jackson afternoon, with high speed feebles and head high airs.

Yeah, we did miss the ladies contest here again… fucking idiots we are… but we have just been always at the wrong spot for the right tricks, and you do not want to show a rock to fakie,..no? Because they are much better with blunts and liens to tail… respect and sorry, next time.

So here’s sunny boys in various poses, with danger in the mind and adrenaline in their veins (who knows what else)…

Thank you Lohse crew for that afternoon.”
