With your smaller of the two frying pans grab some oil and HEAT(www.heatiscool.com) it up. Get your

hash-browns and start cooking those. While your hash-browns are cooking start your bacon on the other

frying pan.

While your bacon and hash-browns are cooking you all be ABLE (www.able-hardware.com) to have enough

time to prepare your bread. Grab two slices of bread and butter them up... grab your small cup and

make a hole in each of them. While doing this donot forget to turn your hash-browns and bacon.

Now put your bacon in-between some paper towels and keep your hash-browns warm by keeping them

on low. Clean your bacon grease out.

Now the hard part.. if your not in the Professional Cooking Association (PCA) you should get some ex-

tra help from an adult. Heat (www.heatiscool.com) the now cleaned big pan and grab the two slices of

bread you prepared earlier. Throw them on the pan along with the cut out pieces and get your eggs and

break them one by one into the holes you made in the bread. When the eggs are cooked enough flip the

bread and holes over.

Now throw some cheese on the hash-browns and the holes while the other side of the bread is cook-

ing. When the cheese is melted throw the hash-browns on one slice of bread and then grab the bacon and

add that on. grab the other slice throw it on top and enjoy! if you cooked it perfect you all have a nice

juicy center that you all be able to dip your cheese holes in!

July the 27th - 13.00 hour

The car is parking, ready to load our stuff. Ready for the campa-ing? No not yet, first we need the wine and cold beers and then lets move.On the move to Ignitionvalley. Some hours later (17.00 hour) we’re finaly rolling the roads.the last meters of dutch roads are slipping under our car.the campaing begins.Direction: Ignition - Croatia - Serbia (Mantra) - Romania - Ukrain - Poland - Czech republicJuly the 28th - 01:30 hourwe arived at Ignition valley - see next page for more about that -

July the 30th - 09:00 hourwhile the last lazy partyheads were still sleeping, some others were already doing their jobs. The Danish connection were packing, Jojo had an interview for Be-Roll, and the Stuttgard guys were walking around like they had to kill a hangover as if it was a Yugo...So we packed and left for Croatia...A long trip was ahead of us, but a nice one. With a dvd in the player, nice views, and our own driver. It took some time but finally we arived in Novi Vinodolski. We found us a spot to camp,on the edge of a cliff. Went to a restaurant to eat something, walked down the sea. And off we were to dreamland.

July the 31st - 10:00 hourWow what a heat, lets get out of this tent as soon as possible. Let hit the car for a (airconditioned)supermarket, get us our breakfast.

July the 31st - 11:30 hourSo now its time for some sun and tanning!but while we were swimming in the nice temperatured sea there was a strong wind putting up. Soon enough we found out that the tents on the edge of a cliff would catch more wind then we would hope. One tent was broken and while pulling the tents down and pack them in my tent was almost flying away with me holding it.There was not much left of holiday idea, we called our insurance. Who gave us no positive news. We had to call it a day and turn back home.

July the 31st - 20:30 hourOur arival at Salzburg. We had to stay the night here, get some sleep and then turn further on our way back home.

August the 1st - 8:30 hour Because there was some chineese guy making noises the entire night we didn’t had much of a nightrest. but well there was a limitless breackfast for us waiting downstairs. And only the smell of it made a lot problems good. We had our part. I started my “hostel tradition” and left for Raalte. Later that day arrived.

August the 1st - 21:00 hourBack at the “office” plans were made for another strike. this time not by car and not with tents.We would go by train and would see where we were going to spend the nights. Together with Grind-house on tour for 1 week...1.057’- in Europe, Strike II was born [more about that later in this issue]


1.057’ - in Europe. strike I [ignition beer & bbq][text by: Jojo Jacobi, Photography by: Forstner, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

Every year Ignition presents you two major events in the Valley. The first one is the Sum-mer Opening, and as the second event we got the Beer & BBQ. And that’s the one I’m going to talk about right now.

The name itself should explain a lot to you. People aren’t coming to this event to check out the sickest competition and to follow a strict schedule. People are travelling all the way to our small Valley to enjoy a relaxed weekend together with friends in a nice and beautiful surrounding. And maybe to drink some beers, eat loads of meat and skate a bit in one of the best skateparks in Germany / Austria.

Sounds like a normal weekend in your hometown (besides the skatepark thing)? Maybe. But I didn’t inform you about the spe-cials yet.

Ok… let’s just start from the be-ginning.

Friday as the “arrival day” had already a nice program to offer. First we reserved some seats in our local cinema and a bunch of rollers went there to watch the brand new “Simpson’s” movie. Ever went to the cinema with 30 rollerbladers from all over Europe?

After that we showed the second issue of “Hey Dude VM” in the skatepark.

The movie just got premiered at this years UCON party in Munich and this was the second chance to see it before its getting into the shops.

After the movie everybody chilled in the brand new Ignition Bar which is (for sure) also located in the skatepark.

Oh. And did I mention that theevent was quite international?

Saturday was the official “meat day”. We started the bbq in our own beer garden at 1.

At the same time the indoor park opened for everybody and we spent the afternoon with eating, drinking and skating sick sessions. Some of the people went to the lake for sure.

At 7 in the evening we started the

probably funniest thing on our program. The beer case high jump. Mark Stamer, Dominink Wagner and Stefan Horngacher jumped higher than everybody else. And Stefan always rodeoed over it. But one man just topped everything.

Our very own Ignition Valley Stuntman felt like it was time for some action. He just fronflipped THROUGH the wall of beercases and paper boxes. But not just a normal frontflip, that wouldn’t fit his style. A superman frontflip - which means you’re jumping head first trough the wall and after you passed it, you’re doing the flip.

I can’t remember when I was more shocked and more laughing at the same time.

After that action we started with the official after party in the Igni-tion Bar.

Some local people also showed up and later the night the dance floor got entered.

Ok, people didn’t enter the dance floor before Dominik Wagner and

I did a quick dance on top of the fridge and the bar.

Yo… that’s pretty much everything to tell about this years BBQ event.

As always, everybody had a great time – at least that’s what they told me.

We are looking forward to meet more of you at an event in the future.

Just mark our new year’s event in your schedule.

See you soon.

Jojo Jacobi

The Hungarians together with Richie Eisler from Canada had their last tour stop at our event. Some dutchies also showed up and the Danish guys around Ja-cob Juul came together with Joje from Sweden. Together with some Austrians and Germans, we where a pretty mixed up crew for a nice relaxed weekend of rollerblading.

A night with the Infadels[text by: Olfert Poelen, Photography by: olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

10th December 2007

WOW.

Thanks to all those who packed them-

selvesinto Dordrecht’s Bibelot venue on what

wasa very rainy Sunday night. After a year

ofself-imposed studio lock down, it was

greatto see so many faces, both familiar and

unfamiliar.

For us it was a hairy show, debuting

six songs from the next album along

withplenty of old faves...and a tune for poor

old Amy Winehouse. We hung in there

though and now we go back and do a

bitmore fine tuning before we hit the road

again early next year.

A night with the Infadels[text by: Olfert Poelen, Photography by: olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

After a nice weekend traveling having fun and partying there came one ultimate party. Gig #3. of the INFADELS with me. I’ve been looking forward to this concert since I stepped out of the café the last time I saw them somewhere in Germany. This band has created an own music genre on its own. And leaves the best impressions after at their crowd. The night began hasty for me,since I arrived in Holland (Rotterdam) at the time the concert would have been started. So I still had to drop my luggage at home pack only the stuff I needed to cover this concert and hurry hurry hurry. When I arrived at Dordrecht trainstation, I knew I had to walk in the direction of the city center but didn’t knew where to go once i would be there. Unfortunately the streets were nearly empty and the dudes that were walking on the streets didn’t seem to want to help you. So I was happy to see two youngsters walking with a beer in their hand. I asked them and they told me that they weren’t locals but somebody told them how to walk. With the info they had and the navigation skills I have we “made it to the blue frond door”.

We had to wait there, so it was time for me to get my coins changed for liquor. The first two beers went in when I tried to claim my spot on the first row. Wich is allways a hard thing cos people don’t like to stand in the second row. Don’t know why cos you can see as much as I can and you won’t get pushed directly in to the stage but well maybe that’s just me. The show begins...loud screaming from out of the old church makes the frontman, bass and guitars smile. The first songs are rocking into the crowd and sometimes Bnann doesn’t know to control himself of not jumping into the crowd.

Then there comes the new sound some people have to guess what the sound should be. Yes my dear ladies and gentleman. We had the premiere to hear 6 of their new songs that will be on the new album coming out in May 2008. The band is happy to see that the crowd likes their new songs and is rocking away after 20 seconds of every new song.

The nice intermezzo. The band had left the stage2 times allready and came back to play that last special number. As final session they played 4 last songs and left the crowd satisfied but a little unhappy cos they wanted to keep rocking on till the early hours. Well at least I would. There was an authograph session after the show, and for the first 30 minutes you couldn’t even see where all the peepz were standing around. Well I got my authographs and the nice thing was that 2 of the band recognized me. And they liked the thing they signed. My tie...

Infasion of the French[text by: Qew, Photography by: Mihai Bivol, Mathieu Dosso, Salim, Qew, Alexis, olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

After some backing at home my trip was going off to the west of Holland for a great big, massive and unforgetta-ble weekend. My bro hooked me up at the main train station of Rotterdam and we went to his apartment, I had been there once before and at that time the place looked really whacked and dirty, somehow it even became a public toilet, but when I now opened the door it looked like I was going to step in a palace! He made it so cozy and tidy, it looked really cool. His living room had one of the most freaking out floors I’ve ever seen, it was one big mosaic. Smooth taste bro. After admiring his nice house he got me a beer, some local stuff with corn in it, it was pretty good actually.

The phone rings, it’s Etienne with his friends from Paris who asked the route to Olfert’s place after a view hours and a lot of corn beers they finally made it. We welcomed them

and I offered them one of my fresh backed ‘appelfpalppen’ it’s a Dutch sweetish cake witch became JP’s favorite cake.

We had a great time although 4 of the 5 people couldn’t speak one single English word, but that was not a problem, when we didn’t understand each other we solved the problem very easily by just opening another beer, that’s a language every skater understands. Isn’t it? The France folks were tiered and went to bed, it was 03.30 in the morning at that time. Olfert told me there was another group of France guys coming around 5 ‘o clock. I stayed for one more hour and the phone rang again, it was Marianna who told us it would be around 06.00 they would arrive. I went to bed myself to catch some hours of sleep before skating the contest later that day.

I woke up at ten and we went to Skateland by car the car was

fully packed: 5 adults on the backseat of a Seat Ibiza. When we finally got in I was stumbled to see so many people coming from all over Europe, I saw my friends I met that summer in Bucharest during the Grind-house tour we made with Prell and Mulli, I saw guys from Swit-zerland like Mihei Bivol, I met Bladies from Sofia (Bulgaria). But what surprised me sim-ply the most were the France people who were present it was a trully French Invasion.

The first ten minutes I couldn’t even find one of my Dutch friends out there. Mr. Silhan who won the title last year probably told his friends that the contest of 2006 was the place to be for December 2007. Somehow all his friends out a country were the smallest man rules one of the biggest coun-tries of Europe had the idea to don’t miss such a great contest so they came and took some Belgium people with them, like my friend Bruno Willemarck.

Not everyone was in yet but mr. Piss himself had to start the contest cause otherwise they would have a problem with their time table. I was relieved when I heard Giorgio Oehlers had to skate his heat, cause I was afraid that there weren’t any Dutch bladders who could beat the shit out of all those France skaters. Giorgio skated really good and smooth from beginning to the end but he had to watch out for Daniel Cyrill, because men this guy can skate. We had Martin van Drunen as well some of the less Dutch skaters we had that day cause Daan Hegt and Tyron Ballantine showed up when the comp already started for more then a hour. Shame on

to see each other again. But that reunion was thanks to my brother who had to pick up more then 15 french from that same main trainstation again. When he came there it was like a real ghetto meeting.

Infasion of the French[text by: Qew, Photography by: Mihai Bivol, Mathieu Dosso, Salim, Qew, Alexis, olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

you guys.

It was about two o’clock I met one very special person this weekend, It was Marianna, we became friends this sum-mer in Bucharest and chat ever since on msn. It was her I backed my ‘appelflappen’ for. It felt great

The contest was of the hook with disaster 720 top souls on the ledge in the middle of the park at the last qualifica-tion round. The crowd went crazy and screamed there but of to let this guy land his trick. I had a great time that Saturday in Skateland. I met

a lot of my friends again I usually only see them at the Winterclash or IMYTA+. The contest was great with a lot of good smooth and high technical switchups from ev-eryone. The finals were there and Giorgio had 2 perfect runs witch got him the title

of Dutch champion 2007!! Congrats to you, young man.

The contest may be over but that doesn’t means that the whole day is over, because Olfert and I saw so many faces we met in Bucharest this summer almost all France that we came up with the idea to hold a reunion at Olfert’s place. Only Prell, Mulli and Tias weren’t there oh and not to forget our nonstop beer drinking man Stefane Dosso. To bad you guys couldn’t make it to Rot-terdam this year. And to you

Prell, I wish you the best with recovering from your knee surgery.

For sure we made a traffic jam in Rotterdam if it wasn’t at least a traffic chaos we made. We drove into the wrong directions of streets where only cars may come out. We made U turnings in front of red traffic lights

and to made it all worse the group was split in 3 dif-ferent groups, after a lot of phone calls and discussions 4 cars made it to Olfert’s apartment. Then there were two more cars who got lost in the middle of Rotterdam eventually also these cars hooked us up. And after half a hour we were all celebrating and partying on a 65 square ft. apartment with over 30 people out of five different country’s actually you could easily speak of a France invasion. The mini reunion was a

“les dommages”there is no french party without a marker

blast and everyone had a great time this night, there was enough beer to let so many skaters party on for at least one week. I felt like we stepped back in the time and relived the summer of 2007 again. I say mission Dutch Open Championship 2007 succeeded, in more then one way.

A weekend in Hamburg[text by: Qew, Photography by: olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

You have to blame Benny for this article. Yes, really, because we asked him to come over for the Dutch Open Championship, he said he couldn’t make it cause he had some-thing like a party of a friend. But then it was his turn to ask us to come over to Hamburg for the German Championship. We had no plans or something like a party of one of our

friends so we said ok, we‘ll be there.After some wintercold hours trying to get out of Holland we finally made it to Bad-Bentheim. From there of we took some trains to get closer to Ham-burg. It all went very very slow because we traveled on the cheapest way. Then we were almost at the finish line but first we had to wait like half a hour in Bremen to continue the trip. We were haunting for some liquor to get warm and get a lot of crazy pictures. Olfert understood it well by drinking this Vodka bottle for more then the half by himself, I self didn’t need that much for those pics. Then it all went

very quickly we were in the park in no time and met Benny, our inviter for the weekend.

We asked people for a place to sleep that night but no one could help us, but we didn’t re-ally care. We knew that we could manage that problem somehow. So we had to pick up Lomax from the station together with some other dudes and Benny dropped us near by a hostel… at least he thought he did. We searched in the dark but couldn’t find anything, we asked pedestrians if they knew any-thing or otherwise if we could stay at their crib. No one answered, we weren’t desperate yet but we came really close to that point because it was late dark and we had no idea where we were. We walked around a corner and got on a small city square, then we saw a good change for us to get a place to sleep for that night, there were all young people pack-ing up again after a gig. We had a little chat with them and then they took us to a club, actually again no one would help us to find anything for place to sleep. Since this group couldn’t help us Olfert stepped up to the

barman. After that we left the group and wanted to go. But something stopped us.. it was the barman, Alex, he found out that we were Dutchies and started to chat with us. We stayed there for some more talking and chilling with Alex and he offered us a drink. Things got coisy and at this certain moment the brothers O and Q had to drink a Jägermeister and Alex filled 3 glasses of this stuff and we cheered. It didn’t stayed by one Jaegermeister as you must know. The funny thing was that Alex Olfert and I were chill-

ing and the girl had to do all the work, cause we were having Jägermeisters with Alex and he just didn’t stopped filling the glasses when we finished them. Alex’s colleague had to do way to much by her one and he saw it too so we packed our stuff thanked Alex for everything and he gave us like 20 matchers pack of lucky strike, we never understood why cause we

the tunnel and Alex Rudolf with his stylish thorque slides true the kinked ledge and to bad also with to many slams. This was just to give you guys a picture of what went down that Saturday.

I had a great time that weekend and loved to see a lot of friends again and liked to hear some new spicy de-tails about what the future is going

to give us from the Horn, Alex Schneider and Nick Wood.

After such a great weekend were we have been live

witnesses of how such a small guy can beat such a big icon in the sport witch we all love and know as aggressive inline skating, we finished the last drops of our Dutch beer and rocked our asses out of Germany because there was Johnny.


A weekend in Hamburg[text by: Qew, Photography by: olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

told him we didn’t smoke. We thanked him once more and went off to the hostel he tipped us.

Ok we found the hostel the good and cheap one, we entered it and then we got lost in the building cause the only place we could reach was the stairhall. There was no possibility that we could enter a door we rang on buttons as crazy motherfuckers but nothing happened. On every level of the building there were was some kind of a hall big enough for two Dutchies to lay their heads down. So that’s what we did. We rolled out our mattresses and fell a sleep. Olfert woke me up a view hours later and I asked him: “what time do we live?”, he said: “ 09.00 am.” I was like, ”Ok.” See you in 2 hours.” and slept on. But my brother who became a bitch at this moment woke me up again and convinced me to get some food and go to the skate park, so that’s what we did.

We reached the park without any prob-lems but then we got a problem. Cos the park was closed till 01.00 pm. We were there around 11.00 am. Also Mulli, J. Cudot and Adrienne Anne had the same problem so we decided to head for the shopping center and get our asses down on the couches of MC Donalds. Eventually the time

came real close to 01.00 o’clock so we went to the park with our special brand new car.

There showed up a lot more peeps then 2 hours before and all the board-ers and bmxer’s had to leave because we would take over this park!! I loved this part of the weekend; seeing their faces knowing that inline

beats them.

Allright lets get down to the contest now!! We had a lot of skaters in amateur and the same goes for the pro’s. Names like Julien Cudot who styled out big 900’s, Adrienne Anne smooth and balance over the long coping of the quarter, Stefan Horngager with huge 540 flatspins and nice walltaps, Nick woods without skates with camera, Dre Powell who had to give up physically during the semi finlas, Billy Oneill with bs thorques up to 540 drops, Don Bambrick and his high rocket 360’s, Jojo Jacobi with eventually a really close attempt on one hell of a big disaster, Jacob Juul who switched-up the vert as a maniac, Max Visser who laced massive 720’s over

1.057’ - in Europe, strike II[text by: Olfert Poelen, Photography by: olfertpoelen.com, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

2 Dutchies, 1 German and 1 Swiss on the road.this tour report brings you to Hannover, Gdansk, Budapest, Bucurestí and Berlin.

First stop: Hannoverwell the road to hannover may be pretty tense if you stand beside the road...but once you try to hitchhike it’s a total different thing. Thanks to some Polish Ger-man guy we were brought a pretty long distance in the direction of Hannover. But from out of the blue the Golden Earing fan hits an exit. We had to go out and find our own way furter to Hannover. There was a nice lady who stopped by after 5 minutes, even before we could make our directionboard. She tried to bring us to a Trainstation. Somehow there wasn’t any and we were dropped at a free ultimate punk festival. Finaly we found a way to the

trainstation...by paying way to much for a taxy.

Ahh... Hannover...lets call Ahmed!Ahmed was our sleeping-place, and it was nice crowd-ed. Michi Leibner was there and Sasha from Berlin. The weekend of the Inline Brawl. It wasnt such a good or the best contest but well the parties were great. And that made the weekend nice and pretty good. Hannover is one of the niciest German-cities if you stay at Ahmeds place.

So after the weekend...we had to move on...cos we thought about going to the Rollfest all the way up in Gdansk Poland.So lets get back to the train-station and get THE interail-ticket.

the road (or actually the rail-road) to gdansk.It was a very booring and

a way too long lasting trip. At 11 ‘o clock we left Hannover and after a dozen of trainswitch-es we were finally in Gdansk at i guess 22.30 then we still had to find a place to sleep. Since we had almost no contact information for Gdansk we walked ahead. Ap-pearently we took the wrong stairs cos there was a second exit where people were standing to tell you how to get to the hostel. Anyway we walked the city i guess 3 times heavyly packed. And there it was...the youth hostel. We went in and the owner of the place (later we found out he had 3 hostels in that town) filled us with the lovely liquid called VODKA, the real one! So the night fell in.Next day we went out to find a cheaper and better hostel. Again after

walking through the town more then once (a good way to prevent yourself from a sight-seeing tour) we gave up, and then we found one of the places...we booked but like we all know out here in the west the eastern euro-peans will screw you. they doubled the price for the night, telling us that we had the last places in a doubleroom. We didn’t liked the rase so we went out to look for our last hope and the cheapest hostel. It should have been in the ghetto where we walked the day before...we called them and after an hour circling around the building we found the entrance. That evening we went shopping, did some skating and went to the cinema. There is one good thing about

Poland, they keep movies orriginal and use subtitles. The next day we did almost

nothing. We were waiting for Prell and “fatty”, who would arrive in the evening. So we did some shopping and went to an other cinema and watched DIE HARD 4. By the time the movie was ending the two guys would arrive. So we left right after the last clip of the movie. So there they were, we went to the hostel and after that we went skat-ing and did a sightseeingtour



by night, while looking for a club to go out. Probably we were at the wrong side of the town or this town is realy booring since we couldn’t find a single club. Btw while we were skat-ing we were warned that the police would come so we kept on the move all the time.

On the way to Bucurestí,We had to make reserva-

tions for the first train and after that we did shopping fora 42 hours longlasting traintrip. The first train was the best! We partied all the road long and some nice/strange things happend. So we arrived in the south of poland, bought ourselfs “stierepis” for the next train. that was a rest train since we didn’t sleep that much the last night. Okay well then there was the arrival at Bucurestí Garde Nord. We were picked up by a local and he brought us to his house. Where we found out that we were not alone. The NL and LA guys from France were represent. So here the Grind-house tourstops

did stand their ground. The first spot was overcrowded by maybe more then 100 people. Skaters from Belgium and Isreal mixed up between the Romanian

people. The spot was killed so it was time for the next

one. This next spot was the spot of Bruno, Thias, Prell and “fatty”. Where Thias and Prell went in a battle Bruno killed a strange dropledge and “fatty” did a crazy gap somewhere in the dark.And there is the last spot of the night. the group

had became smaller but it was nice this way...this one place had a couple of good skateable obstacles. Killed

all, once again.So there was the club Max, everybody was pretty much filled since beer, vodka and wine was

all so cheap. The Party was crazy and the invaders group took control over the dance-floor.

Second day in Bucurestí.This was the day of the com-petition. I don’t remember much anymore of the comp. Only that Prell took the first place, worst slam, and best trick, and an other title wich i can’t remember anymore. But who cares the café on the

invaders group includ-ing the Bulgarian people. For the next 4 or 5 hours the streets were ours, or at least we thought they were. Playing Football on the street, screaming and

running around. Serval policeguys told us to calm down cos there were alot of complainings catched by the police depart-ment. The night ended somewhere in a bar/bistro where everybody took once again a good glass filled with cold beeror

something that tasted even better. For some of the group the night/party couldn’t be over,

including me. We went to the macdonalds at 7 ‘o clock in the morning and had to wait till we could order some foods. Not much later we found out that the kiosk was selling beer and before we knew it we came back at our HQ at 11 am. After that the party ended up in one big bodypaint session.

otherside of the road would

be our place for the beginning of the evening. Prell won 1500

euro’s on price money, and well lets say it was well spend! The night went on with the entire





everbody in the place was painted.

After this all there was only 3 hours of sleep cos me and my brother had to hit the road back again, cos we were on the last days of our interrailticket. We booked a sleepingroom in the train and slept allmost the entire trip straight. 24 hours in one and the same cabine.There was the stop in Praha and not much hours later we ended up in Berlin, our last stop.

Berlin, in the burning sun. We had to wait for our train so we went out skating...looked for some spots and taped some tricks. After that we went for our last shopping for in the train. wich resulted in

us missing our train. so we had to wait two more hours.

It was a short trip but i guess the best one of my touring history.8 countries in 10 days, 4 stops, 1 big chaos.

Next summer we’ll be on the road again, and probably again with Grindhouse.

We would like to thank Ine for

driving us around in Bucurestí.

Mihai for his sleepingpace.

Daniel for all the free beers.

And all the french guys

including Bruno for all the

great fun we had.

Let’s have a look at fashion[text by: Olfert Poelen, Photography by: Jos Borsboom, models: Daphne Hooghuis-Poelen, Olfert Poelen, edit by: olfertpoelen.com]

The closet full of clothes, seperated, have a look at it and you’ll say I’m a freak. Limit less Tshirts in all different kinds of style. V neck, round neck. Slim fit, oversized. Large, medium, small. Looking at the left side it’s a lot less. Trousers seperated in full and shorts, jeans and other material.Then there is still the blouse reck. Most come out of the H&M repetoire. But you can’t fit a dress-up with only dutch H&M clothes. I keep it basic, besides my inline brand shirts you’ll barely see color. I love dressing up in black and white. Just because I believe that those “colours“ show who I am together with the clothes I wear. One thing is for sure, when I come at gigs to shoot photographs,loads of people believe I’m with the band and that’s more then nice. If people ask me what kind of a person I am af-ter I said they were wrong by concluding on my clothes. I always have to tell them that it might be the clothes that make the man, cos even the clothes of emperor didn’t gave him his status.
