Pool Boys shred fest – Antwerp, Belgium

“It was the second time these kids organized this event and it was already twice as big as last year. A really nice Sunday afternoon with loads of good vibes! A contest in the small pool and “backyard” with a hilarious race through the whole park. Everything was organized by themselves, with their moms taking an eye on the drinks, cookies and self-made shirts and caps.

These highly motivated, pool shredding brats are already doing more for skateboarding than some guys I know that are twice as old!

This is the new generation, the future and they really care about the past! As Mike (Brusk) told me recently seeing these kids being sucked out of the system, that’s what we do it for!!” Ratman
