I should have taken more photos from this angle, instead of with the papparazzi lurkers at the hotspot with the fisheye. Robin Schulze, frontside smith grind.

Donald of Pavel Skateboards was running the silk screen press half the day, pumping out custom Bergfest tees. That one’s mine.

Sometimes skateboarding is a spectator sport. The boyz frothing between heats.

Kevin Wenzke. Lien slide or lien to tail. Can’t quite remember which?

Lenni Janssen. Full grown man sized head high backside melon grab.

Tom Tieste. Wild man frontside air.

Tim Bijsterveld rocking and rolling. No bomb drops today, sorry kids.

OMSA Dietsches and Bruce the Ox.

Robin Schulze trying to put on the seatbelt.

Jamie Mateu blasting a backside melancholy also known as a sad grab (in Spain and Scandinavia).

Jamie Mateu. Same trick as above, different angle.

Robian Fifield tore up the bowls and the gnarly Berg rail and the Jäger bottle.

Koloss krew enjoying the bright day and their one chance a year wear they don’t have to dress in black.

Catherine Marquis in the girls heat of three with a sweeper for the win!

Ariana going backside.

Robian Fifield from Netherlands, Jaime Mateu from Spain, Bruce the Ox from Ireland, and Timo Krone from Germany. No losers here, well, maybe Timo, he smashed his face in the deepend and went to the hospital, and maybe Robian also, he almost pulled a crooked grind down the gnarly Berg rail, but ate shit. But the other two dudes, Jaime and Bruce, total winners this day!

It’s a board, it’s a butt, it’s KEVIN WENZKE flying head high out of the deepend.
