Roskilde 2013 - Chapter 1 - Where The Magic Happens
Morning – Temperature is way low but heavy alcohol consumption helped everyone sleep through the cold until late. There's fresh coffee for everyone to nurse their hangovers, and soon enough the crew starts shredding the bowl and street course. It's Day One in Roskilde, the place is already trashed, but everybody is ready to roll. Before the actual shows start on Monday, today we'll take over the streets of the city for the first SRSC of the season.
Afternoon – Being set in the early summer days, Roskilde seems like the perfect time to launch the Scandinavian Real Street Contest series. With that many pros, talented amateurs, and hungry up-and-comers all gathered in one place, it goes without saying it all went according to the plan. Highlight of the day was most definitely the junior comp, which proved how healthy the local scene is, and showed that there's hope for a future generation of bladers to eventually take over our little world. All spots got murdered in unexpected ways, leaving a couple of holes in the rooftops here and there, and a Viking version of Montre Livingston took first place in the pro event.
“There's hope for a future generation of bladers to eventually take over our little world.”
The vibe of the whole thing made it look much more like a (really) high-level session though, which lasted late into the evening with some concrete bowl shredding and a barbecue where everybody got to enjoy drinks and hot dogs, thanks to the great people over at RAD & Hal 12.
Evening – There are already shows and happenings taking place everywhere, and I can't wait to be done with this so I can leave this container and share some drinks & great times with the boys. May I survive the night to tell you the stories and bring you another update tomorrow!
