A small teaser for the “Death or Glory” trickjam held in Rotterdam on 10-10-10. Check out www.deathorglory.nl for more info!

The idea is to host a trickjam which is focussed on Fixed Gear Freestyle. But please, if you want, bring your board or BMX as well if you want, cause the skatepark and Rotterdam the city itself is def worth riding on either of the aforementioned.

We hope everybody will have fun riding with friends, making new friends and hopefully have some good memories about the event to get you through the winter. It’s a big risk planning a trickjam in an outdoor skatepark begin/mid October. We do however have a backup plan of an indoor skatepark (wood) within 15min by bike from the Skateplaza.  But we hope we don’t need that option, cause this works better as an outside event.

Therefor “Death or Glory” is a more than appropriate name for the event.
It’s either dry and nice or wet and cold.
This could possibly be the last event where we’ll all meet again before getting into shitty winter times.

Though it is a trickjam and not merily a contest, we will do some small contests on the fly. The park is too wide spread to even possibly be judged, so please, use the whole park, ride those triple slanted wallrides till death and grind your axles to shit and jump wheels in half from the big stairs… There’s something for everyone…
There’s a big basketball court (not just a small one, a double or triple sized basketball court) which can be used for flatland riding as well.

No big prizes can be won, it’s all about having good fun, seeing your (foreign) friends and making some new friends. Most of us all know each other already (national or international).
We do however have some goodies provided by our friendly supporters up our sleeves for the small contests we will do on the fly.

Enough of this explaining bullshit… you all know what this shit is about! Innit?!

See you all on 10-10-10 !

* or earlier if you wanna come over earlier that weekend

I’ll be going! Rotterdam is Holland’s best looking city, with the best football club of the world, and both the city as the skatepark are amazing to ride, including very friendly locals!

You might have missed my posts this weekend, or maybe you didn’t…
But this weekend I went to ride with the 24K boys in Rotterdam. And I have to say, Rotterdam is the best town in Holland to ride! I lost my heart in Roffa, it’s just like coming home. The people, the atmosphere, the vibe, it’s love at first sight! If I didn’t have to be in Arnhem this morning, I would have been couch surfing in Rotterdam for the next week…
So a BIG shout out to Roy (thank you for crashing in the shop, showing me the spots and the lovely ladies Roffa has to offer), Oli (pic creds and this boy can ride!), Milan (funniest photographer you’ll meet, and thank you for the ristretto), Leela (loveliest lady you’ll see shredding on her new trick bike), John (the friendly giant), Frank (thank you for the free beers), the bmx kids that made me laugh and everybody that made my weekend so awesome!

Cheers, Votske

Our boy Roy from Rotterdam Fixed Gear went to the Bright Trade Show with the Fixed Gear London guys. And his pics are even showing up at ZLOG! Well done Roy! When my new sprocket is here, I’m coming to Rotterdam to thrash your spots!
Keng might join us too!
