Globe Shoes is organizing an invite only contest January 12th and 13th in the French town of Metz with 6.500 € prize money waiting to be picked up by the riders which are turning out to be a mighty impressive group of skateboarders from all around Europe. Definitely a good way to start the year and the event is being held in some large arena so it will be interesting to hear from anybody out there how they liked the whole event.
