PUTSKATE Bowl Contest at Opglabbeek Skatepark – Belgium

Despite the rain it was great day and everybody had a blast. We had to fight the wind while putting up the tents but the sun was shining just enough to have a great contest.

With Jeroen Bruggeman and Pieter Decuster arriving just on time for the contest we had 15 sick riders who were competing!

Speaking from the guys who organized the contest we never thought the level of skateboarding would be this high in our hand built pool (built by Concrete Dreams skateparks, thank you guys so much!!! ) We are super stoked to do this again next year with more skaters, more people to watch and more beers to drink!

We raised a decent sum of money to build the next section of our park, so next year not just a bigger contest but also a bigger skatepark.

Thanks to all the sponsors and skaters, see you next year! NIET BANG ZIJN!!!
