So we arrived in Eindhoven after a cold two and a half hour journey from Forward Freestyle. With the Fenfanix team in tow we checked in at the Holiday Inn and went to the nearest "food outlet", which is code for McDonald's. Once everyone had unpacked we proceeded to the Winterclash skatepark Area51. They have built some amazing obstacles for the contest. We grabbed some clips of our riders Diego Guilloud, Antony Pottier, and Romain Godenaire just throwing some steeze around the place before the real warm up session tomorrow. Check it out!

The second day of the Fenfanix Road to Winterclash Tour started off with everyone waking up on air mattresses to the sound of Rob Pruett’s hair dryer at 9 in the morning. He was attempting to heat up the room at Forward Freestyle Skatepark after our space heater stopped working in freezing cold Belgium. The team eagerly got ready to blade quickly though. On our way to the ramps, more Fenfanix riders arrived. Diego Guilloud, Julien Cudot, and Antony Pottier came in with a bang and woke the rest of the house up. Everyone was game though and we started an early massive private session.

Our plan was to make some video updates for our time here in Cali, but with our little oldschool HD style camera it's hard to get to the standards. With help from Mike Tseng, who filmed second angles with his GoPro, we found some cool spots sometimes hidden from most street skaters over here, who use absurd amont of wax by the way.

Some Fenfanix riders arrived in Amsterdam late last night. Everyone was shocked about the frigidly cold weather since it was -9° C outside. But that didn’t stop us from immediately getting started with the good times by hitting up a bar in Leidsedam, Holland with the crew. We chilled and discussed the upcoming week over a few pitchers of beer. We all had a laugh and got excited about everything to come on the road to Winterclash with the Fenfanix crew.

Last year Jacob Juul won the Scandinavian Real Street Competition in Copenhagen. The first prize was a plane ticket to Cali and back. My mom works for Cimber Air and I fly cheap, so on a cold December morning at around 6, on our way home from the bar, we decided to go to Cali together for 2 months. I hit up my friend Greg in Long Beach and asked him if he could hook us up with a place to buy a car, and he did. We landed in LAX the 19th of January at 12 am and Greg was in the airport with his homie Robert, waiting for us...

We are reporting live from Den Bosch in the Netherlands! Just a couple of minutes ago a local politician handed Sven his first ever Pro model. It took a successful 18 year long career combined with 16 years of riding and working for Rollerblade to receive the crown of it all, a pro skate. This is not the common Pro model story, which should be obvious if you have been following the media over the last few days.
