Bergfest 2015 – Peace, Love and Skateboarding – Münster, Germany - Confusion Magazine: International Skateboarding Magazine

Bergfest 2015 was a massive hit……. Bowls, Beers, Bros, skateboarding, sun, girls, bbq, slams, stalefishes, never been dones, almost makes on the rail, bands, more beers, after party, and three days to recover. Thanks to Koloss, Pavel Skateboards, Jimmy’z, Concrete Wave, and Hoax mfg for helping make this skate party a smashing good time. If you really want to know what it’s like at the Bergfest, you have to come experience it yourself. See you next year!

I should have taken more photos from this angle, instead of with the papparazzi lurkers at the hotspot with the fisheye. Robin Schulze, frontside smith grind.

Tim Bijsterveld rocking and rolling. No bomb drops today, sorry kids.

OMSA Dietsches was a judge this day. Bruce the Ox got 2nd place in the unsponsored division. Check the slip of the €20 to the judge when no one else was looking. Shoulda make it a 50 spot Bruce. Nice shredding and good judging. Is there such a thing as judging good? — OMSA Dietsches and Bruce the Ox.

Robian Fifield from Netherlands, Jaime Mateu from Spain, Bruce the Ox from Ireland, and Timo Krone from Germany. No losers here, well, maybe Timo, he smashed his face in the deepend and went to the hospital, and maybe Robian also, he almost pulled a crooked grind down the gnarly Berg rail, but ate shit. But the other two dudes, Jaime and Bruce, total winners this day!
