NEXT SATURDAY: MOVIE PREMIERE OF "TO BUILD A BEAST"

THIS SATURDAY IS GONNA BE AWESOME.
The Beast turns 1. A good moment to celebrate that. We have two bands playing live at the Beast and the premiere of the documentary "TO BUILD A BEAST".

If you don't show up, you get beaten.

Three Countries Session

We had a nice little visit from Alex and Stefan from Germany, and Fuchs from Austria. As it was raining yesterday for hours, we went to the Beauty for some nice and good skateboarding.

And instead of blurry iphone photos, we have this time a blurry iphone video. yeah.

Burning the Cross: The last night of the Black Cross Bowl

The Black Cross Bowl is so important for us. It all started there. Without the BCB there would be no Bowlriding for me, no September Wheels, and of course, no Beast! So we travelled yesterday to Basel, to celebrate the last night of the Bowl. And of course, to see the cross burning!

The session was insane, Boldriders from Postojna showing up, the Herzblut Gangsters from Sargans, Kilu and his Ramp Gang from Luzern, we from the Beast, and everyone else who is into DIY Projects and Bowl skating.

This was real, pure and raw Skateboarding. And a session, you will never forget!

 

Right after the last song of the Lombego Surfers, a hell of a thunderstorm came up on the bowl. Even Satan hates the Bowl. Golfball sized Ice bullets hitting heads. After 15 minutes everything was back ok. Except some wet t-shirts.

 

Ivo wants to swim. Or worships the cross. Don't know.
