two weeks went by without any updates – but now we finally made it…

rock and roll jam – on sunday the 20th of september 2009 the shifted rock and roll jam took place at the prater skatepark in vienna. there were a lot of bmxdudes also including two guests from slovenia – yes, crankflips are great – so the jam was really nice and interesting. in between the beginners and the ‘pro’-runs the whole gang moved to the hermann strand bar to pass the highest bunnyhop contest – i think the limit was 1.05 meters. after this excursion we went back to the prater skatepark were the jam moved on with the ‘dice-of-death’-contest, a destruction derby and the pro-runs. after all there was the presentation of three bmx-movies (one dude one day – michi sommer – directed by thomi zronek, train trip – directed by joe rich and ruben alcantara, i love my bicycle: the story of fbm bikes – directed by joe stakun) at the urania cinema within the final activities of the bicycle film festival vienna. (photos of the jam and the after-jam activities can be found at bmx-scene.at)
kendla jam – yesterday there was a jam at the skatepark kendlerstraße. unfortunately i forgot to post this announcement earlier – sorry slaven! due the fact that i wasn’t at the jam on my own i can only tell you that the weather was fine…
bad news are bad news – here are the really bad news: our ghettoskatepark in wiener neustadt has been removed by the city authorities. no more place to bridge the months and years until we get a new skatepark here. at the moment we cannot say for which reason the ’skatepark’ had to be removed – aside from beeing built illegaly at the area of the former skatepark – which will be unused forever…
but maybe dumping garbage beside the ramps isn’t the best way to keep the authorities calm – think about it…
