Europeskate Pic Of The Day September 18th 2009
September 18th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Back with a new Europeskate Pic Of The Day for September 18th, 2009 and this one is from Patrick Kleiner out of Berlin, Germany. The shot was taken at the “Ghettospot” with Martin Olesch doing a nice looking mute to fakie air. How was is made? With a really old analog Revue ML SLR camera, 400er black and white film, a Zenitar fisheye lense and the timing was 1/1000. Almost old school style he developed the picture himself in a darkroom and scanned it in – nice work Patrick!

The Big Push 2009
September 14th, 2009 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
Just making sure that one of most traditional 5 day contests in the UK is getting started tomorrow, September 15th 2009 and it runs until September 19th 2009. Here’s the “official” announcement from Sidewalk Skateboard Magazine which has taken over as the host as Document Magazine had to close shop:
Now in its fifth year, the Big Push is a well-established and highly anticipated part of the UK skateboard calendar. Created by Percy Dean of Document magazine, the Big Push aims to pit the premium skateboard teams in the country against one another on a whistle-stop tour of the hottest and most iconic skateboard destinations that the UK has to offer.
“This year, the Big Push sees the reins being taken by the UK’s largest skateboard publication Sidewalk and aims to be bigger and better than ever before. With teams from Vans, Nike SB, DC, Adidas, Etnies and Team Shiner, and pre-assigned area specific tasks for each team, 2009 should see the most varied and explosive Big Push yet.”
