The German "old-school" rolling scene met up in Munich to session and to enter the Ucon Party afterwards. Here a few pics that were taken by Holger Thalman throughout the day.
If you asked me 4 months ago if Robbie Pitts would have a section in Seven Rats, I would have been hesitant in saying yes. We had submitted all of the footage I filmed of him in the past year for Valo 4 Life, and I didnt have a single clip of him left for Seven Rats. When he returned from America, I filmed Robbie almost everyday for 3 months, and his persistence, and belief in the project carried him through to the end, delivering an amazing video section. He truly has put a lot of effort into getting his section done, from filming arbitrarily after work/university, to sitting in on the long editing process. His section was the first that I finished editing, wrapping it up within 5 hours of getting his final trick on camera. Working with Robbie was a great experience; his outlook on rollerblading is something that will always stay with me. Thanks for all the great memories Robbie!
