Happy Birthday, Mitchell!

THNX for the artwork, Yue!!

Vans Summer 2010 – My man Joey from Vans recently was in town again and allowed me a glimpse into the new Vans summer 2010 collection. There are definitely some nice shoes to look forward to and Joey made some of our friends very happy!

Don’t worry, he doesn’t try to be France’s Next Topmodel, he actually was at a wedding.

Lodown Magazine x Nike organized the 2nd annual Golf Tournament just outside of Berlin for family, friends and partners-in-crime.

It was so nice to have a chance to get out of the city, enjoy the blue sky, the white clouds, the perfectly green grass and of course have the chance to hit some balls. And trust me, it definitely cannot be called Golf what we did over there, but it sure was mad fun!!

A bus picked us up in the city and it felt like a school class trip out of town (including running inside the bus and trying to get the backseats!)

Joerg wasn’t in the mood for talking:

And guess who picked us up in full golf style when we arrived:

Super chill:

Feride:

Big pimpin:

Bonnie&Clyde:

Step1: Putting.

Step 2: Try to hit the ball! Hahaha!

Coach Bianca:

Jon is a natural:

Laust as well:

And Andre is simply a straight pro:

Joerg needed a lil help (but I think he did that on purpose):

Unfortunately, David was a lil bit scared to stand behind him:

And Joerg was more like: “Don’t you ever touch my Visvims with your freakin golf club again!!”

They also served some delicious burgers!

Right, David?!

Marok and Jens announcing the winners:

We stayed the whole day at the golf course… till late:

There is one photo we cannot post… the ones who were there know which one I’m talking about. Thanks for the sexy time under the blanket! 

THANKS to the whole Lodown crew and the Nike staff for this perfect lovely day out there!!!

The PX Bball Video is out!

Nike Sportswear released it last night and it pretty much captures the dope atmosphere of the tournament.

Yesterday was the release of the Converse x Patta sneakers and jacket here in Berlin. After Amsterdam and Paris the Patta crew brought their friends from music collective LeLe and Parra Soundsystem.

The party was held at the nostalgic Ballhaus, an old dancing school, where normally the Broken Hearts Club host one of the best parties in town!

A lot of familiar faces showed up to see Parra live-drawing some visuals on the screens.

The past weekend wasn’t only about Bball, but also about good food, throwing out some old skool tracks and dancing. A lot of dancing!

Definitely, want to share this cute little French restaurant here in Kreuzberg with: La Raclette.

If you’re in Berlin, it’s definitely worth a stop. They’re also opening their own bar right next to it this Friday serving the best array of cocktails and drinks you can imagine.

Camilo and owner Peer, who is definitely the craziest host ever:

The whole shabang:

It’s over. We did it. This weekend was the perfect example of what makes life so enjoyable: Friends.

Friends from all over made the effort to come all the way from Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Munich to get together to shoot some hoops and have some fun.

For me, it’s hard to put in words, those were moments of pure joy and excitement! The Pigalle and BKRW crew rocked the whole weekend. We just couldn’t get them tired! They were like little children drinking too much Coke… dancing and singing wherever they could! AMAZING!

The final was the re-match of the Pigalle Tournament in Paris: BREAD & BUTTER vs. Pain O choKolat!

It definitely was a tough. Nobody wanted to loose. The crowd was hyped up. Fouls. Discussions. Arguments. Anger. Everything you need in a good final. In the end BBB won!

1-1 now. Waiting for the next one… maybe in Amsterdam (?).

Also, the girls did a great job! They were laughing, sweating and some of them kicking some serious ass! Team Candy from Berlin won. CONGRATZ, ladies!

SPECIAL THANKS to Bianca from Nike, BBB and Kickz who made this whole event possible!! And to Wood Wood and Kuchi for the nice prizes!

The PX Bball Video will follow soon. In the meantime, check out some pics:

The PX Bball Tournament will take place this upcoming Saturday in Kreuzberg, Berlin. Thought of as the Re-Tournament and “Payback-Event” for the phenomenal day and great hosts of the Pigalle Bball Tournament in Paris.

It’s gonna be a fun day with various DJs spinning, some food and drinks and definitely some good Bball games. Some of the teams include Nike Sportswear, K1X, Pain O choKolat (Paris), Wood Wood, Vans (Amsterdam), Uslu Airlines, BKRW (Paris), BBB, Universal Music and many more…

3-on-3, one court, if it rains we’re gonna be in the gym.

Come by if you are around! If not book your train/bus/flight tickets NOW!

PS.: To all the haters out there, don’t drop me any comments, rather come by for a 1-on1.
