We were asked to participate in the 2024 Grand Prix organized by Sven Boekhorst. We had 2 hours at the World Skate Center skate park in Den Bosh to combine our video and skating skills to make a really cool edit.

There were 14 teams that participated to ultimately create one entire video and that was shown at the end of the skate competition. It was a special experience and we enjoyed it. Thanks Sven. Made by Joery van De Pol and Bas Berghuis.

Dear community. Coming back to Eindhoven in February 2023 – after a pandemic and the rebuild of Area 51 - there were loads of concerns. Is the new park working for a competition of it’s size, will the atmosphere be the same and is the blading community even still interested in traveling thousands of kilometers for living on fries and beer for three days?

The answer to these questions was YES. And there is one simple reason behind that answer: Community. It is each and every one of you applauding for the youngster landing her first trick in a comp, starting to chat with a stranger in the bar queue, landing a trick that makes the crowd go nuts, asking a question in one of the panel discussions or storming the tradeshow – it is each one of you that keeps on creating this special three-day-experience. It is all of us being in it together in February 2024 again – WE ARE WINTERCLASH.

Mesmer presents “XXX”, our most recent trip down the rabbit hole. This was a 3 day trip in Holland with some of the team after Winterclash. We were surprised with sunny weather during what is normally a cold and rainy time of the year, so we took advantage. Enjoy!
