In summer 2023, I wanted to make an edit at this amazing skatepark in Ghent, Belgium. I had been living in that city for almost 2 years and I was moving away. I wanted to remember the good times I had there, so making an edit was the perfect way to do this. I really enjoyed this park and met some lovely people there.
Thanks a lot to the Rolling Raptor for the four days of filming and making this edit! Capturing the smiles in the sunny weather was a lot of fun. And thanks a lot to the Faction Skate Company for the amazing skates and the support! - Aniek Kerkhofs.
