This is a contest for those who either have the time or are on holiday on Ibiza on August 25th of this year. That’s where the EKZ8 contest will be held and right now I have contacted the owners of the skateshop sponsoring this contest to get more information. What I do know is that [...]

After a bit of a scare this morning with the European Skatespot application conking out on us, we got it fixed and we found the time to get this little update in about the newest in the ES skateshow line-up which is coming out soon. The shoe only weighs 380 grams and there is an interactive [...]
