To give you an idea of the whole contest, well it looked like the intro of Baywatch, girls in red bathing suits, guys in bathing suits…  Even the funky tunes in the background took me back into the 80’s. I have to apologize for my typo in the beginning, it wasn’t much of a contest, it was more like a family gathering. It was so cool, just a whole lot of friends hanging and fooling around in way to short shorts. But there were some contests though, like the Best 80’s air, hot sand challenge or my personal favorite: ‘ THE BEST FLIP FLOP TRICK ‘, guys hitting the rails or throwing switch tre bombs of the stairs in flip flops. Some mojito’s and some burgers in between, this was one hell of a contest. And to end the day, a crazy bowl contest. Everybody dropped in at the same time and the last man standing got a free deck, bet you can create an image of the mayhem. I have to say, it was a great day with great people. Big thanks to T(w)its, Willem and the whole Leuven family. Photo credit : Joselito Verschaeve

Super good times with our friends from Welcome Skateboarding in Madrid last Friday. We celebrated the Volcom X AntiHero product collaboration at the Welcome Bowl the classic way, we used the good old triple B recipe for success: Beers, Bands and BBQ. We added some fresh Volcom X AntiHero gear, cash prizes and one jamón to fire up the skate sesh. Volcom and AntiHero team riders Daan van der Linden and Chris Pfanner joined the party and soon the bowl got mopped with some sweat from the body tossed and it earned some new holes in the corners thanks to the heavy shredding of everyone. Thanks to Borja, Pablo and everyone at Welcomesk8, Bruno chef, Alain Goikoetxea, David Sanchez, Skankie, Pfanner, P-Stone, Carranza, Danny León, King Cayman, Zero 5 and everyone who showed up!   Volcom x Anti Hero collection is available in Spain at these fine skate shops: AJ Project Freeboard Fvck Kakoshop La Plaza One Foot Ola Skate Welcomesk8 Good times the session started early Photo : Adrian Rios Danny LeonPhoto : Esteban Velarde Daan Van Der LindenPhoto : Adrian Rios BBQ all eveningPhoto : Esteban Velarde Alain Goikoetxea bstail Photo : Esteban Velarde Borja waving the HamPhoto : Adrian Rios Danny LeonPhoto : Adrian Rios   Carranza carcass tossPhoto : Adrian Rios Photo : Adrian Rios PStone documented the actionPhoto : Adrian Rios The miniramp got lit up by Zero5 the bandPhoto : Adrian Rios Chris Pfanner late night street beers with Pstone and Christian Good times
