For the 5th time, Transfert skateshop, was organizing the CRADLE ROCK CONTEST at the skatepark in downtown Bordeaux. It’s been famous for the laid back and relaxed atmosphere and its punk attitude.
THIS SATURDAY, July 16th in Münster, Germany: BERGFEST – Battle of the Monster Bowl with tons of ripping skaters from all over europe & usa: John Magnusson, Anders Tellen, Jason Parkes, Ben Schroeder, Tim Bijsterveld, Emmanuel Guzman, Max Shrädder, Matt Grabowski,. Not to be missed… get in the car and drive.. (unless you live in USA and Australia or Japan, etc., then you’ll just have to watch the footage coming soon… not next year). And this just in, Pär Mag and Balder Lehmann and some other scandavian dudes will be on deck drinking beers or in the bowl fucking shit up! I guess this post is pointless, because if you don’t know, you’re not going, and if you do, you’re already gonna be there. So click the links and see what you’re missing out on, and wait for the gnar footage coming soon………..
After sleeping in the rental car on the beach after the Pirate Ship Beers & Brats party, I awoke freezing bloody cold in the parking lot of world renowned surf spot HOSSEGOR. There happened to be a world championship surf contest underway just up the beach from where we were parked. After a coffee and Pain au Chocolate, we rolled up through the dunes and checked out some of the best competitive surfers in the world surfing one of the best beach breaks. The waves weren’t ALL TIME, it really gets good at Hossegor, but good enough for a short video clip and a few photos… then we packed up and headed away from the scene, to rural Basque Country.
Generally speaking, I wouldn’t travel to a different country for a half pipe (or indoor wooden street) contest. However, pay my transportation and give me a 5 star hotel to crash in for 3 days to photograph and party with some of the best skateboarders in Europe, and without hesitation, I’m there.
