The competition was fierce and the ‘crete was fresh- The Quiksilver Bowlriders rolled up on Malmö, Sweden and unleashed a beast of a comp!
Malmö boasts the deepest bowl in Europe, but that didn’t scare British hopeful, Alex Hallford from Nottingham, who was hucking huge frontside airs in the deep end during his second runs. However, it was down to the local talent to reap the rewards of serious bowl schralpage! Mattias Nylen got first with his frontside blunts and stalefishs in the deep end, ahead of Swedish skate legend Nicky Guerrero who kept it cool with board control. Third place went to French madman, Seb Daurel who went warp speed around the concrete transition- so fast in fact that Christian Hosoi, who was an honary guest at the event, looked shocked!
Next stop Bologna for the Bowlriders final where Matthias can compete against the previous winners of each leg. Crossfire says watch out for Simon from Belgium and Andy Scott from England – undeniable talent on the road to victory…
When we asked you to put your glad-rags on and do us proud by dressing up as Pikeys and Zombies, the result was amazing – if not worrying too… Well, we have our winners and they are as follows:
For best dressed social misfit and ASBO sponsored Pikey, Paul Tibbins from London took the Anti Hero board and T-shirt.
For best dressed graveyard lurker and undead inbred Zombie, Simon Trigell from Chandler’s Ford took the Creature board and T-shirt.
Well done guys! Click the competition page and see what you can win…

Here’s some hot news from everyones favourite gang of gnarlers – Flip:
First off, the amateur ranks have multiplied with new face Louie Lopez joining the team from Los Angeles. Meanwhile, mini powerhouse, David Gonzales pocketed $1000 after coming second at the Phoenix Am contest last month, and Eric Fletcher has just returned home after a 3 week trip to the modern day Mecca that is Barcelona.
Still out in Barca are Arto, Appleyard and Ali. You might spot them acting like Hip Hop video extras in Ali’s pimped out white Cadillac Seville… New team member, Rodrigo TX has just flown in to join the guys as they gather footage for the next Flip video.
Geoff Rowley has preferred to travel back and forth across America in search of suicidal spots to satisfy his hunger. This next video is going to be serious- no prisoners! Actually, fans will be stoked when they spot Tom Penny and Shane Cross rolling through their town and spots for the Fest Tour scheduled to pass through Canada during the second week of june, and America for the third week of November. I know that sounds a long way away, but it’ll be worth catching.
Finally, the Flip riders with transition fetishes haven’t been slacking either. Lance Mountain and Rune Glifberg placed very high at the Pro-Tec Pool Party comp – Lance got fourth in the Masters division and Rune got second and pursed $15000 ! Rune might buy himself a gadget or two when he arrives in Shanghai with Bob Burnquist to skate the mentally massive new skatepark they’ve gone and built over there. Bob’s keeping it crazy by sticking the first ever frontflip over the mega ramp chasm at the Mega Ramp comp held in Mexico City last month.
Front flip footage here.
Wow! Big catch up with one of skating’s biggest teams. I’ll leave you with news that brand new boards are available for all the new riders. I’ll take the ‘Don’t mess with TX’ model whilst Zac will probably feel more comfortable on Lance’s 9 x 33 inch ‘Crest’ board.
That’s right- The Blueprint team are heading back out East from May 18th to 24th so that Shier can stock up on Vodka and Magee can check out the “F***** hot birds”.
Let’s hope they bring back some more sick footage like this (c.f. Seq. Neil Smith Nollie Cab heelflip).

The Godfather of the modern skateboard, Paul Schmitt has donned a white blouse and taken his knowledge of how to build a skateboard to the classroom.
After a good 25 years or more pressing plies and founding Schmitt Stix Manufacturers, as well as Element Skateboards, Paul’s educational course called Create and Skate aims to teach young science students the technical side of skateboard that goes deeper that a pretty graphic.
Over a two week period, the students learn about the ecological, mathematical and scientific principles that eventually lead to them building their own skateboard. If this endeavour proves to be a success, it might go nationwide.
Undeniably talented, young Lucien Clarke is officially on flow for the elite European Lordz team.
He joins another beaming amateur Honza Minol from the Czech Republic.
