This weekend transformed Skatehalle-Berlin into the Mecca of European skateboarding. With a lot of money of on offer it was Axel Cruysberghs who took the top spot in the Street comp along with €12,500. The remaining two spots went to Flip wonderboy Louie Lopez from California and Stuttgart’s Lem Villemin. Along with the street comp was the Death or Glory Bowljam presented by Zimtstern and youngster Curren Caples from Ventura, California managed to drop some jaws and put Jürgen Horrwarth in a close second place, followed by Frenchman Julien Benoliel.
The Vert Jam turned into a big showdown between buddies Jürgen Horrwarth and Renton Millar. With both flying various 540’s, smacked madonna’s and body jar’s on the coping, it’s one comp you have to see to believe.
