September 10th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Ahh, vacation is damn cool and I just love starting my day off with some fresh skate video clips – three more I’d like to recommend to you today and they are:
- DC’s King Of vancouver 2009, 5 minutes of HD filmed action at the Vancouver Plaza, watch it now!
- I’ve never really taken the time to learn all of the flatland flip wizardry so I decided to use my vacation time wisely and get some trick learning done. Maybe you want to leant how to do 360 flips as well and Paul Rodriguez shows us all how it’s done, watch it now!
- and to finish this video recommendation update off, check out Fourstar Clothing’s A Day In the Life with Max Schaaf – watch it now!

…because I really haven’t found any video evidence online for these contests just yet so here’s the quick round-up for you.
At the Ultra Bowl 2009 contest in Malmö, Sweden Benji Galloway walked away with the win and the German contingent got some up there in the top 8 as well. Word up to Gerd from Bailgun.com making 7th place in the Masters division. What’s up with Wolfgangsta?? Hope he wasn’t partying like last year again, puking between trees and stories like that *haha*
Pros
1. Benji Galloway (US)
2. Steven Reeves (US)
3. Stu Graham (GB)
4. Johnny Turgesen (US)
5. Kevin Wenske (DE)
6. Tim Johnson (US)
Masters

Crossing over the Atlantic again we make a stop at the Zoo York sponsored AM Getting Paid 2009 in Montreal, Canada where Magnus Hanson grabbed first place followed up by Manny Santiago and Mickey Papa. Get all of the updates over on the Zoo York AM Getting Paid blog
And finishing this blog post off with the invite only Coastal Carnage bowl event sponsored by Converse with a 50,000 US dollar prize purse which did not get any mentionable media coverage in this day and age -weird but that’s the way it is. The amateurs stole the cake away from the pros at this contest with Raven Tershay taking first and 10,000 bucks followed up by Curren Caples and Kevin Kowalski (I though for some reason that he was in Malmö – obviously not informed correctly!). Best trick went to another favorite amateur skater of mine Aaron Jaws Hamoki with a Blunt kickflip to fakie on top of the taco – maybe we’ll get some video footage to back all of this up really soon!
Zoo York’s AM Getting Paid 2009 contest update
July 26th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
More contest news – I told you this weekend is absolutely packed – this time across the Atlantic Ocean for me over to Montreal, Canada and we dive straight into the action at this year’s Am Getting Paid contest which is hosted by Zoo York, taking place at the Le Taz skatepark. With 10,000 US dollars in the prize purse for amateurs, this is one of the next reasons why the skate scenes in different countries/continents are having to choose which contests to head off to. But whatever it is, there is no lack of quality skating going on anywhere this weekend. Check out the video below for the Day 1 Highlights. Today the semi-finals and finals take place: the results will be here:
A call from Canada – Ryan Millar
April 29th, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
It always cool to receive mail from people I haven’t heard of until I click on “Open” and to see that they are for some reason interested in Europeskate and what I do with it. Maybe I should post it on the site, but Europeskate does not sponsor skaters and my side project is completely in the starting blocks still so that will have to wait. Europeskate is still completely independent, no team and if anything happens in sponsoring, it will not be through the site directly.
Having said that it still is great to have received this video from Ryan Millar out of Winnipeg, Canada who is looking for some company/shop/person to help out with some decks…come on, this can’t be serious…Ryan doesn’t get any decks for free??? Help him out…
