Hi everybody,

here's a quick update about what is going on and some links to posts on the Europeskate.com site. A bunch of new interview and check outs of skaters, photographers and company owners have come back in and are waiting to "be processed". I am really happy about the good feedback the site has been receiving and the support from those I have contacted (or who contacted me), thanks for all of the help!

At the end of this week I'll be travelling up north with Gerd Rieger and Wolfgang Toth to join skaters from around the globe at the Quiksilver Bowlriders Final in Malmö, Sweden. It's going to be a packed weekend full of great skating, concerts and partying so if you are going to be there and want to hook up, drop me a line!

I'll be putting up more photographer profiles this week and a poll to try and find out fron you guys out there how the site could be made better/faster/more interesting...I need your help so please take part in the poll once it's online.

And here are a few good links for you today:

Found out about this contest over at the Last Try Magazine website. The Austrian Indoor Challenge in Ried, Austria will be the 11th skateboard contest in this series being held, this one being sponsored by the Block Skateshop with Carhartt putting up prizes for the best trick contest. 1000 Euros for the A group of skaters and lots of prizes for the B group definitely make this an attractive contest to attend if you are nearby.

Howdy out there!

Just thought I'd get things started over here. I am currently building up the German side of the "EuropeSkate.com" site and at the same time integrating MySpace.com and the bands I like tinto the site.

If you would like to get involved and support us here, let me know!!

All the best from me,
