Day Two: Friday- Arriving and getting setup


Wolfgang and I met with John Young from Europeskate.com and Arne Fiehl editor in chief of Boardstein Mag (Google english translation) to drive to Malmö.

The drive took about 5 hours and we got to the Malmö Skatepark just in time for the first heats of the qualifications. After checking in at the press office for all the badges and wristbands you need to get close enough to the action we checked out some rad skating.

One highlight of the day was the pool session in freshly painted kidney pool.

This was not a contest format like in the skate park instead everybody who pulled some rad trick got some cash right away and the harder the tricks the more money you made.

After that it was time for some free beers in the backstage area.
