Never Mind the Olympics, here's the 26th Endless Grind Skateboard Session! Once again, we are expecting skateboarders from Berlin, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Cologne and many other cities to indulge in the early days of rollerboarding alongside the local scene. This event refers to the early 1960s, when Californian surfers screwed wheels under their boards so that they could ride the streets as asphalt surfers.
From 12 noon to 9 p.m., the Endless Grind will once again feature the tried-and-tested four contests: Street, Pool, Long Jump and High Jump. In addition, the Longest (Endless) Grind in the pool will be awarded as well as Mr. and Mrs. Old School.
It is important for all contests that only old tricks are performed. So it's not the level of difficulty that counts, but the style. And anyone who also rides old boards and is dressed in appropriate clothing can expect to win a prize.
As the name "Old School" suggests, only people with skateboards can take part in the session during the day. However, BMXers & co. are welcome to watch - it's definitely worth it! After all, it's also about hanging out, exchanging ideas, talking shop and celebrating.
Registration takes place on site on the day of the event! The contests will be moderated. There will be skate sound from the turntable and live music by the pool.
