Winterclash 2016 by Olfert Poelen

How does one tell a story that has already been told many times before? This year marked the 12th edition of the world-famous Winterclash, blading’s biggest core event, and at this point you know nothing compares to the Clash. The level of skating, the atmosphere, the insane parties: you have heard it all before, or were even lucky enough to experience it first hand!

What is left of the Winterclash for us to tell you about? How does one bring a fresh perspective on an over-exposed piece of blading history? Ever year, Be-Mag is facing the same challenge, and every year, we still manage to bring you both entertaining & enlightening updates from the event: with 5 photographers on the spot this year, here is our take on Winterclash 2016!

To round up our coverage of this year’s event, here is our final photo report brough to you by seasonned Dutch photographer Olfert Poelen, and once again you know you are in for a treat! Capturing not only tricks, but also faces & expressions, specific moments & overall atmosphere, Olfert offers you one final trip to the Clash: welcome to Eindhoven, welcome to Winterclash everyone!
