europe team in Portugal |
 Europe Element team riders Bas Janssen, Lucien Clarke and Michael Mackrodt joined the Portugese Element riders for a one-week film trip around Lisbon and Leiria with our filmer Yves Marchon.
They’ve skated loads of Portugese curbs and banks, and had an unforgettable time skating a skatepark located in a forest around Lisbon where they judged a contest organized by Element for the kids. That day ended with a demo of our Element riders and a best-trick contest for the older guys. Thanks to Gui and everyone who helped us out!
