Issue-13 suMMeR 2011

Welcome to Bailgun issue #13, the contest issue, featuring the Transition Tango contest in Stuttgart,the 3rd annual Bergfest at the new Monster Bowl at Berg Fidel in Münsterand the 3rd Ultra Bowl contest in Malmö, Sweden.Putting together a contest issue with footage of contests from weeks ago seems kind of odd nowadays that photos and video footage of contests float around the internet within minutes after they were shot not to mentionlivestreaming the whole event to viewers around the world.But we like to put a little more effort into the presentation than just to throw a bunch of pics into an online gallery and not even care about editing orlayout and we think the result is well worth the wait.

Enjoy issue #13 Gerd

The 3rd annual Bergfest was bigger and better than the previous two contests. The Monster bowl had gotten a major facelift last fall and that gives the park endless new lines and speed to go from pool to bowl and back. This was also the first year with some major sponsors that helped make this great contest happen and bring some international skaters to the Bergfest to battle for some serious prize money. Thanks go out to volcom, circa, globe and Pavel.

MalMÖ Ultra Bowl

III

After two years of competing in the kidney pool of the Stapelbäddsparken Skatepark this years ultra Bowl contest went back to the big park that features more lines and more posibillities for the skaters. With a good mix of uS and european contestants there was some heavy shredding to be expected. Besides the main bowl contest there was the freestyle world championchips for everyone who s interested in flattand skating and the girls contest on the street area. unfortunately the girls didn t compete in the bowl although there are a lot of girls shredding bowls and pools out there. Hope to see a girls bowl contest next year! veteran concrete skater Jason Parkes had a serious slam on his head that took him to the hospital. The ultra Bowl contest is a perfectly organzied event but whatever you do - don t get hurt in Sweden. The last coulple of years showed that it either takes quite some time till you get professional help or some equipment like a strecher might not be at hand. So stay safe and enjoy the good skateparks, nice people, Kalles Kavier and Köt Buller.
