This coming Saturday, September 27th 2008 you can skate in one of Europe’s oldest snakeruns in Liege/Lüttich, Belgium. Here’s all of the info from the guys organizing this cool event:

The Bocal Mostard crew organizes a big party on the 27 September to celebrate the 30th birthday of the snakerun of Liège (Luik/Lüttich in Belgium).

It’s the oldest skatepark in Belgium and one of the last in this style in Europe. It’s still skateable because of new concrete in 2000! That’s a real estate for the communities of BMX and skateboard.

This event is a good occasion to interpellate the local politicians about the future of the place – 15 000 m” nearly in the abandon…

Four years ago, the BMXers and the skateboarders have got together in order to create different activities in the skatepark. Our crew wanted to preserve the spot but also to do it evolving…
We realized 3 concrete workshops, we built little DIY extensions around the snakerun. We organized also some jam sessions, benefit event, etc.

Today, we are going to propose to the City a project about an urbanism of all this sport area. We need some new adapted elements for skate, BMX, MBT, roller in inline and all the other sports… but also a green environment for us and all the neighborhoods.

We really need your support!

On the program 27th September at the SNAKERUN (boulevard Gustave Kleyer – B4000 Liège, behind the
football field)

11.00am – free skate and BMX initiations
12.00am – jam session with dj’s, contest, lotto, hotdogz, etc.

I’ve been following the Swiftfooted magazine out of Belgium for several issues now and as the saying goes: actions speak louder than words. In this case I would exchange ‘actions’ for ‘pictures’. Stefan Remes and his ‘team’ have put togetehr another great collection of photos and words which made me want to keep flipping the virtual pages of this Belgium mag.

This issue includes a report about the European Vans ‘Roll with us’ tour, then moves on to show some of an exposition called street life with some interesting art, throws in a couple of interviews with a Belgium artist and Bastien Marlin, a French skater who has been crossing the border a lot lately. With other odds and ends inbetween, the mag finishes off with some good photography…all in all, definitely worth spending the time to read and enjoy.
