Being more than one hour later, due to heavy traffic we arrived at the Killesberg Curbs where already a bunch of people were waiting. Also the Car from Berlin was just arriving. Mr. Klöber started the registration and people could warm up at the curbs. It was still raining a little.

Killesberg

Daniel Prell – Top Pornstar

After registration and warm up spot change to the curbs at the Train Station (“DB Curbs”). The skating started right away and there was already some cool action to see. Some tricks:

Sache Lopez: Fahrvergnügen 450 out (broke his finger and has a pulled ligament, get well soon!)

Alex “Rudi” Rudolph:  bs unity, bs torque, true mistral, bs savannah (unfortunately hurt his ancle on the first spot and could not skate anymore)

Lukas Landthaler: pornstar 2 true topporn

Andreas “Gagi” Wagenblast: highspeed true mizou 360 out

Dave Mutschall:  fs backslide 2 ao topporn

Christian Obermaier:  true soul 360 out

Only girl in the competition: Kathrin – Top Acid

Chris Hack – Fishbrain grab

Lukas Landthaler – BS Royale

Robert Lee – own style

Then we went to the famous Black Rail, but after we all arrived, some security guy said, we could not skate, but…. one trick was allowed, Gagi (Andreas Wagenblast) and Milla betted, that Gagi will do first try Fullcab BS Savannah and Milla said if he looses, he has to go on the whole day in Boxer Shorts… well guess who did the trick first try? So Milla got undressed and had to walk like that to the next spot. Ow did I mention that it stopped raining and the sun came out?

The next spot were a couple of short rails (Interconti rails).  Gagi told Milla, that he can pay his debt, when he does an AO topside Pornstar, and he did it 2 times (first time the landing did not work) and could put on his cloth again. After that, Daniel Prell, Gagi Wagenblast and Patrick Ridder tried some tricks on the lower rails.

Interconi rail spot

Gagi – Kindgrind

After a short session there, the session shifted to the upper rails, the spot had a round rail, and three short normal rails, so people started to go for lines.

Dave Mutschall – Top Acid

Also Daniel Prell started to to a drop round rail and laced it with Top Acid, Fishy Grab and Top Soul (the Fishy also killed a part of the rail…).

Daniel Prell – Fishbrain grab

Gagi, Lukas, Dave and Chris Obemaier battled for some nice lines on the rails down.

Some Tricks:

Gagi: kindgrind to kindgrind – rail to rail transfer

Chris Obermaier: Line with soul, royal, sweatstance

Dave Mutschall: Line with topacid, backslide, soul and (maybe again) soul

Last spot was a kinkrail (better 2 kinkrails) at the LBBW business complex. Francesco talked to security and did a good job. We were allowed to skate for one hour! Thanks for that, you are the man This session really was something. Lukas, Dave, Chris, Gagi, and Daniel really did show off:

Chris Obermaier: topacid jump the kink truetopporn 360 off (best trick!), topacid to back savannah, topacid fastslide

Daniel Prell: FS Unity jump the kink TS Mizou, Disaster Shifty, topacid to back savannah

Lukas Landthaler: inspin back royal to royal, topacid to back savanna, and much more…

Julian Storz – Soul (first handrail, all the way down)

Daniel Prell – Disaster Shifty

Chris Obermaier – topacid jump the kink truetopporn 360 off (best trick!)(click)

I had one week of vacation, which I spent home writing on the thesis and in the afternoon getting out sktaing. So the week was from August to August 21st.

On Saturday, there were some people supposed to come from Bayreuth, but somehow they partied too long, so they kinda missed the train, so only Jens Küfner, Nico and Peter from Erlangen arrived arround 12pm at the train station. Jens was a bit pissed, cause the others did not come to the train, so he just picked up the other 2 and they arrived on time. Then Daniel Prell and Hannes arrived from Augsburg and we left for the first spot, which was the Curbs at the Schrannenhalle. I all started very slow, and the funny thing was, that I met some guy (who ist way in his 50ies), whom I met 7 years ago when I started to skate and have not seen for 5 years or so. Well I placed some flashes and Daniel was motivated and ripped some nice tricks and line (sorry, as it has already been some weeks I don´t remember much). Jens tried som stuff, but he was really tired. A little later, Nico and Lukas arrived and shortly after that Matze Ogger. Also Milla joined (who just left for Australia for 8 month).

Daniel Prell – Sweatstance

Jens Küfner – BS Unity

Milla, Hannes, Lukas

Daniel Prell – negative Makio

Jens Küfner and Nico

After some time we wanted to spot-change but somehow the S-Bahn schedule was messed up, due to construction, which meant we went into one driection, then into the other and took the wrong train and ended up on Heimeranplatz. So while waiting we decided to skate some rail nearby, OK Daniel was the only one that did it. One 50-50 and one nice rocket fishy.

Daniel Prell – Rocket Fishy

So after some clueless driving aound we finally landed at the Feldkirchen kink-rail. The wooden board was gone, so some went off to organize a new one. In the meantime i set up my flashes and stuff. It is not so easy to light this place, especially when the sun is shining. Nico had to be my light-test- victim .

And after a while, he nailed a very nice sweatstance.

Jens did some nice tricks too and he nearly nailed a toposoul over the kink topsoul (just missed the landing)

Also, even beeing really dead he did some basic tricks, like sweaty, top acid or topporn

Jens – Topporn

Daniel, beeing Daniel just did  a little skating but nailed nearly everything first try: Makio, top soul, soul over kink soul:

Daniel Prell – Makio grab

After that, we went to Heimstetten, which some of you will probaly know from GH-Tours or some clips from Munich. It has a very long, not very steep rail with minor kinks and a flat rail. Only the flat-rail was skatet, but firts, some plants had to be removed. You had to have great speed to get it all though. Ogger was the first one, to do it, shortyl after that Daniel had it too.

Daniel Prell – Mistral (can be seen at an interview)

Matze Ogger – topsoul

All the guys except for Lukas and Jens

After that, we called it a day and went to the main train statsion to pic up some locked up stuff. We went for a Pizza and the left to go to my place, where we had some nice beer, showers and saw some clips on Daniels laptop. And finally some sleep

The next day I had to go to my parents, and the others met up with the others to go skate again and Matty Wacky for getting some clips.

also in August, Philipp Preuss was wearing the shirt:

So if you want one of them, they are available at my spreadshirt shop in slim fit:
