Last sunday Ben G got second @ the Circa shopteambattle in skatepark Burnside in Deventer. The home-team Burnside took first place so congrats to them and to our skateboardteammembers Zombie, Moz and Jimbo!

Zombie & Moz killed the park just go check the footy on www.tacky.nl!

We did a special football package together with CTRL our favourite European skateboard company from Finland. We took our inspiration from our local footballclub Ajax Amsterdam! In 1995 they won the Champions Leagues and the publics favourite Ajax player was ofcourse topscorer Jari Litmanen who’s from Finland. So when we started talking with CTRL about doing something together this is what we came up with.

Long sleeve football jersey with Litmanen’s number 10 on the back. The shirt is produced in very limited amounts (only 28 made) and will cost 65 euro’s.

Ben GxCTRL suede snapback cap (35 euro’s).

Ben GxCTRL football scarf (17,50 euro’s).

Skateboard deck in 3 sizes (7.75, 8 & 8.2 inches wide) for 60 euro’s

The package will be for sale this saturday the 26th of September 2009.

Finally! The Flip video Extremely Sorry is going to be released. The premier will be this sunday in “Het Ketelhuis” here in Amsterdam. I heared Lance Mountain is going to be at the premier and some other Flip teamriders. There will also be a session around 15.00 o clock that sunday at the Marnixbowl with the Flip teamriders. Stoked!

Last saturday we released our Ben GxOntour t-shirt&laptopbag on a special location where we had free drinks (thanks to Southern Comfort & Vedette) and a lot of fun obviously. Here are some pictures of the event.

The shirt & the bag.

We ended up in the Flexbar later that night but it was 10 dumbs down over there but we managed to take this ultra gay picture of us representing the shirt.

A bit late with this news but since i’m on vacation i haven’t been up to date with what’s been going on in the real world. Our Ben G teamrider Nelson won anther contest last weekend in Antwerp Belgium. So big up to him for getting those hammers down! Congrats Nelson!

This is part 3 of my trip to LA where i tested the new P-Rod 3 shoe with the man P-Rod himself and other Nike SB related people. But…. actually in this last part these are only pictures of the trip to SF that i did after the P-Rod thingie. My friends Brad & Cristine let me stay at their house for a couple nights so i could check out the bay area which i never visited before. I had an amazing time thanks to them and Nike SB so……. thank you!

This is Brad Staba (check his brand Skate Mental), he took me to a baseball game since i never been to one. Since the SF Giants weren’t playing he took me to the Oakland A’s vs the LA Angels….Oakland lost 0 to 1.

The whole stadium actually stood up put of their caps and started singin that song….you know which one.

I had great timing that day taking pictures as you can see.

It’s hard to see but this is a hotdog….i ate so much junk that day 2 hotdogs, nacho’s, burrito’s and half a bloody mary!

Next we went to the horse racing track to gamble!

Unfortunatly there were no live horserace going on as you can see…..it was fun though watching locals like

these getting all pumped up watching the race on tv. I lost 20 bucks…bummer.

This is near the horsetrack…Brad is having a cover at this spot on the upcoming Skateboarder Mag. This is spot is raw as fuck i can tell you that.
