After spending 3 days in Montpellier shooting at one of the best events in Europe, FISE. I have just found some extra photos which can be considered as left-overs.
Hi people, the weather is close to perfect here in Bulle for the high in the park final day!
The temperatures are close to 24 degrees Celsius, not a cloud in the sky, just some crazy wind...but the atmosphere is great!
READ ON!
Hello! well....some of us are back from the afterparty, and yeah, let's just say there are still a lot of people listening to DJ Das's Set!Oli Benet opened up with some sick drum & bass, and even though he had to be driven to the hospital, he still managed to warm the dancefloor up for the club. FingaIndaNose followed Oli with some hardcore electro and Dub Step. And finally,Stephan De Freitas, Killing it again, but this time not on a skatepark, not on a dancefloor...but on the bloody stage! Everybody went Mental, within 10minutes into his set, he got the whole club down on the floor, had security asking him to turn the music down, and the rest of us was just on stage with him and bouncing to the crazy sound of drum&bass!I don't know how Stephan's does it, but he sure can make the crowd go wild!
Hello boys and girls!So the rain stopped just in time for the Best Trick Contest...but wait, the best trick wasn't part of the WRS comp...it was actually a contest to see how good skaters could skate after drinking for half of the day in the rain. So they were giving out "free drinks" coupons to skaters that either cleared the long railbox or laced a sick trick. After they were done with giving away free drinks, the stakes stepped it up to a Magnum of Vodka!
So it's saturday afternoon here in Bulle, the Young bucks were about to ride their heats, unfortunately the rain gods didn't want them to ride just yet! So people are taking cover in their cars or under the cantin they had put up in case this did happen...good planning!While the rain was pouring on the course, people basically started drinking, and planning their evening....Remy Meister and his girlfriend had the great idea to organise an iPod battle, contest organisers wanted to start the best trick contest, rain or not, just like it went down 2 years ago.As of right now it's undecided whether we will be having a street contest today or not.Stay tuned for more of High in the Park news, pictures and video later on in the evening.
Bulle contest day one: Skaters from Switzerland, England, France, Belgium, Austria, Australia, Germany, Scotland, Koweit and Romania have arrived and are either having a cold beer, after driving the whole day...or actually shredding the course.It's 4:13 am right now and the rollerdisco just ended and I'm here back at jacks house typing this update. Before getting to the party lets talk about today.Who was there? Too many to name, but I can tell you some are from the Razors team, the USD team, Rolling Rock are rep'in...the massive long box has been cleared already by many people, it only means that the comp on saturday will be HUGE!
On the 8th of August the competition will go down. The entrance fee is 5 pound and will get you a burger and a bottle of water. All the money made will go towards the building of the new park.
Countdown to the High In The Park 2010 in Bulle Switzerland has begun, as of today the skatepark is ready for a new edition of the greatest contest in Europe.
