Bergfest 2014 – Battle at the Monster Bowl – Münster, Germany

The annual Bergfest is one of the best skate contests in Germany, if not Europe. Although it is technically a contest, this year’s event was more underground and diy with less big name sponsors and not so concerned with handing out big checks to the winners, but more interested in everyone having a good time…

This is Gideon Lyimo, Tanzania's best skateboarder. He didn't compete in the contest because there was no any one to stand against him. At the end I gave him 10000 Tanzania shillings (5 euros) to motivate him to keep skating. I believe he will be countries first pro skater. Shown here with a boneless to the bank. He is also my assistant.

Confusion Day – Don Bosco skate park – Tanzania, Africa

It wasn’t only the first Saturday of 2014 but for us it was also a Confusion Day. We ended the day with a superb contest and we had fun. Thankfully, we had no “hall of meat”, no one got injured although we did brake one skateboard deck.

Sebbe Debuck is not only good on a snowboard. He's got some smith grind skills too.

Malinas Machinas 3 – Mechelen, Belgium

This is the third year that we (G’nassis) organized the Malinas Machinas event in Mechelen. The first year we didn’t really knew what we were doing, but we knew that we wanted skateboarding, bands playing and the bowl filled up with water for a pool party. And that all ended up super good, so we decided to do it again the next year in pirate style.

Lohse Party 2013 – Cologne, Germany

Lohse Ramp Party 2013 – Köln, Germany – June 29th, 2013. There was a contest. The Schöne Hubätz played afterwards. Good times… I don’t remember who won.

Ultra Bowl backyard pool session – Malmö, Sweden

This years Ultrabowl took place in the main park at Stapelbäddsparken. The only part of the contest that took place in the “backyard pool” styled bowl was the Masters, but that didn’t stop a few others from dropping in on the action.

Unheard invitational – Portland, Oregon

Sergej Vutuc was in P-Town to set up a photo exhibition and check out Unheard Distribution’s invitational contest. He took some more “behind the scenes” photos, and he had this to say: “Rad contest…. almost like session… definitely gives special soul to event and great start for future events. The rest you can see and hear in video… one band on loud speakers (slayer) and rad skating. that’s it.”

La Friche DIY Bowl – Marseille, France

Designed by concrete killer Julien Benoliel from Marseille, the bowl is being built for the “Julien Benoliel’s DIY bowl invitational contest” taking place April 26th. If you didn’t hear about it, well, I guess you weren’t invited.
