Julien Benoliel (right on picture, with TM Christian) took 3rd place at the European BOWLBASH finals last sunday at AREA 51 skatepark in Eindhoven, Holland. Julien skated solid through the weekend with huge fs grab transfers, fs nosegrinds on the extension etc, with the smooth style he's known for. Congratulations to him!

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!
