Written by Thisissoul.

 

Amsterdam now has a specialized blade store for the first time in history and the opening is 28.7.12.
In 11 days, most of the Dutch skatescene will be gathered for one event, the opening of the Thisissoul Skateshop. The only shop in Holland that has everything you can find on the stuntskate market: caps, backpacks, pants, shirts, all skates, all parts, and best off all everything will be 10% off during the opening! Not to mention the fact that there is also a raffle in which you can win Sven Boekhorst’s Rollerblade pro model (worth € 259,95)

10% Discount
All products will be 10% cheaper on the opening. This includes
clothing, skates, hardware, dvds, etc.
Watching DVDs
There will be Dutch DVDs on the TV in the picture frame during
the whole day. You will be able to see titels like LOMP, Super
Mossels and Ouwe Mannen.
Skate Session (12:00)
The start will be a relaxed session for everybody in front of the
store. There will be a DJ and a perfect grindrail. Every time you
do a trick that makes the other skaters clap their hand you will
get one single bearing. It should not be hard this way to have
a full set in no time! The session can continue the whole day
Cut The Ribbon! (14:00)
The red ribbon will be cut with a huge golden scissor by the
ladies that are also on the flyers. Champagne will pop and
will be flowing fluently. From this moment in time the there
will always be one place in Amsterdam for all the stuntskaters
to get all their clothes and hardgoods.
Red Carpet (14:10)
Everybody that walks the red carpet can get a shot of
themselves in front of the "wall of brands". These photos
will be posted on Facebook later on. No gang signs allowed!
Adapt Vegan (14:30)
Adapt will releases their second model, the Vegan, on t
his exact time. Skaters can now try on this revolutionary
Dutch skate. This is the first time in since the start of the
brand that the skates are available in a skateshop.
Thisissoul is the first in the world to have the skates in stock.
Get Out The Way (15:00)
Registration for the GOTW contest will start! More info
about this contest will come a few days before the grand
opening.
Rollerblade SB (16:00)
Everybody that buys something in the new store gets a
lottery ticket to win a complete Rollerblade SB skate! The
winner will be announced at 16:00 so you will have 2 hours
to make sure you have a lotto ticket. We have all sizes of the
skate in stock and the winner will get his directly!

Frozen winter @ WINTERCLASH 2012

Written by Pietro Firrincieli.

The weeks before the clash took place, Italy was under a snow storm that froze everything, leaving Nicola Fiorenza's VALO Flow rider stranded in his home town of Jesi Italy. Nicola, J.son Adriani and his brother Gabriel were supposed to join him for a small tour before the days of the comp.


That's what prompted Nico to come to Milan and take the flight with us from there, but J.son forgot his ID so in the end Nico, Gabriel and I spent the night in bruxell waiting for J.son until the next morning.


The first stop of our tour was the Forward Freestyle skatepark, which is actually lost and nowhere to be found because of the snow. We had a quick lunch outside the park while waiting for someone to open the doors and let us in, once inside we played pool and started a session doing a game of B.L.A.D.E. on the kink box killing it and having fun.

We were supposed to spend two days at the forward skatepark, even though the session was pretty good but the weather wasn't helping at all, the park was freezing cold so we decided to move on, I called Serena an old friend of mine and we end up in Den Haag were she cooked us up some delicious Sicilian meatballs, nothing better than Italian food. After eating dinner we spend the night in this marvelous attic that she has been fixing up where she will live soon with her boyfriend Vincent, talk about a crib, that place was awesome.

The next morning we were supposed to go to Rotterdam to skate at Skate-land skatepark but after checking online and seeing that the park wouldn't open till 6pm that day, we decided to chill in the attic playing guitar and relaxing. Later that evening after eating some awesome kebab's we made our way to Eindhoven home of the WINTERCLASH 2012.

On our way to Eindhoven we encountered a lot traffic that made us getto Area 51 skatepark at 7 p.m, Nico, J.son and Gabriel put their skates on right away and skated the park with skaters form all over the world, warming up for what was about to be a great comp the next day.
