Stefan Horngacher, Brent Hicks and Dre Powell are gonna tour Germany for the next 10 days with Mr Philipp Forstner in their luggage. They’re gonna hit the road with the Red Bull Mercedes and meet up with all the German team riders.
Hey everybody, I am reporting from Vienna after a 48 hour marathon from Amsterdam to Vienna. But lets get that started on Friday evening. We left Essen pretty late and arrived in Amsterdam around 1 o’clock. All the hotels were booked out, due the Queens birthday or something like that and so Tyron Ballenting (GUTS winner 2006) offered us his crip to stay. So after searching for hours his house, we finally got some time to lay back and chill in Amsterdam.
On the next day aka. Saturday, we went skating to that proper skatepark in the center. After everybody finished smoking and skating we went on for some streetskating. It was a nice little ledge spot around the corner or the skatepark. It was a nice little group of skating there and many people showed up with their skills. But as you can expect the Dutch Superstars Tyron Ballentine and Adil showed how you have to handle such spots. After a small session a the round curb around the next corner, the group splitted off to get ready for the Lomp Party.
Also Dre, Brent, Horn, Tyron and me get ready for the biggest event in Holland (after the soccer world champion ship) to show up at the smallest club in Amsterdam. Many people didn’t want to miss such a dutch party and found their way to IMYTA city.
There are not lot of thinks I can remember about the party, but a few are the concert of the band where supreme hooligan Steven Tonnon is playing at or the Lomp video premiere or the guy that knocked hisself out while ordering his next beer. The party was off the hook, as everybody was expecting and so the stripers were as far as I heart.
The lomp video was also a big success as far as I can say it from my site. The only problem was that I only could saw the half of the video due the fact that so many people where in this small pub. But you can expect a proper dutch propaganda video with Hollands finest like Adil, Tyron and Dan Hegt. Also Benny Harmanus got a part in there only because he is half dutch also. The video looked pretty perfect timed (not too long – not too short) and the music was really good. The video got good skating, good music, some fun parts and a good setup. What else you could expect.
After a long night we pretty much slept the whole day. The afternoon was used for a small city check, as it rained again (as usual on that tour). Around nine we tried to find our way to Essen, because Dre wanted to get a Tatoo from Marco Mopils. After he got that one we went directly back in the car and got on the way to Salzburg.
The tour is over. We are done. That won’t be the last update, we gonna update some more photos and stuff in the next days. So watch out. Thanks for everbody who let us stay at their place and who chilled with us. The tour was really layed back and fun. Big shout out to the car sponsering which made the whole trip more comfortable. Red Bull just know what a car need.
-Philipp
