Something that feels right out your comfort zone is usually the most rewarding when you finally get that one trick down. During the skate lessons at Area 51 Skatepark I had the opportunity to dig up such a trick again: a Nose Stall. A year ago we practiced the tail stall to revert and that […]
“Pay attention to how you place your backfoot,…” – Is what Nick Bax had to note about the way I executed a regular Ollie, he continued: “…by placing the backfoot with the inner edge just over the transition from the board into the backtail, you have better control and the board doesn’t get dampened by […]
Even though the lessons have been at a halt for a period, since the start of 2012 I had quite a few skateboard sessions where I got to learn new stuff. The skate lessons are still part of the snowboardtraining for better board handling and body movement, which I could clearly notice during our snowboard […]
This weekend I had a short skateboard session with Jorg at the Shark Safe house. After all the building from the past few weeks it was time to hit the quarters ourselves. I’m stoked about the results on the quarters, the transition is perfect and the speed you can generate is good. Although in our […]
In the past few weeks I have been busy designing and building a Do It Yourself Skateboarding Quarter Pipe. There are a lot of tutorials on how to build such a thing, but most of them are written en design for Imperial units instead of the Metric system used here in the Netherlands. This is […]
Last Thursday Marieke and I went to Snowworld in Landgraaf. They had placed the Nike 6.0 Jumping Airbag after a medium kicker. It was ideal to test some of the aerial awareness I’d been training throughout the summer. I only wanted to focus on my 180’s, to be sure I’d be able to land them. […]

But even though I was rebuilding after working hours, I still managed to attend the lessons at Area 51 Skatepark. The progress sometimes flabbergasts me, […]
Intro You’re never too old to learn something new! Or pick up on an old hobby or sport activity, for that matter. That’s what I’ve experienced over the past few years… That’s why it’s great there are things like a skate school where you can take skateboarding lessons. Today I’m gonna review and share a […]
Last Saturday (2011-09-03) it was a perfect day for an early morning skateboarding session at the Kasteellaan, Eindhoven. It was about 8:15 I arrived in Eindhoven and the place was deserted, but the sun was already shining over the skate-park. All-in-all a good morning to practice some of the ollies, flips, axle stalls, etc. I’m […]
Ever since Jorg and I started attending skateboarding classes – instructed by Wouter Bosch at Area 51 Skatepark in Eindhoven – we’ve come a long way with our skill-set and progress. The things I never deemed possible suddenly came into play and within our reach. But as with anything you’re learning, it’s a process of […]
