I could possibly blame my wife for me not being - yet again - at one of Europe’s most important skateboard events, the Bright trade show which takes place twice a year in Frankfurt, Germany. The winter event was scheduled for last weekend, January 19th and 20th and brought together companies, skaters, photographers, magazine editors - you name it, if they have something to do with skateboarding in Europe, they were there. So sorry to those of you who wanted to meet up with me, I was “too busy” being on holiday.

So I’ll let the videos from the guys over at Tackyworld.com do the talking and you can enjoy all of the skate action right from that comfortable chair of yours…
