rollTogether 18 official flyer announcementIt has been a long time since the last rollTogether Session went down. Some of you guys may have asked yourself what happened to the event? Well I can tell, it happened what always happens to everyone: life. Everyone had so much stuff to do, that we just couldn't arrange ourselves and somehow rollTogether #18 never happened. TILL NOW!

We are happy and proud to invite you to rollTogether #18 on January 21st at the more than famous Thuringia Funpark in Mühlhausen. You may remember #12 at this outrageous skatepark, which was one of our favourite sessions so far regarding the vibe, the additions we made to the park - everything was just perfect that day. And that is what we are about to do again: To have a  perfect day with our old friends, new fellows and the usual suspects. So if you want to be part of Europe’s biggest rolling session, make sure to plan your trip right now! For the event we have set up another jam-packed program for you including

  • a "hidden trick"- award session
  • the "Rookie-of-the-day"-award
  • different Prize raffles
  • Free Energy Drinks
  • tons of Prizes

 

And of course, we will bring our photographers and filmers to Mühlhausen to shoot and film your best tricks! Take a look at our edits and pictures from our previous sessions to know what you can expect. And last but not least you are able to roll within Europe’s biggest rolling session. What’s better than that?

Tighten your screws, call your best friends, organize your trip and be part of the rollTogether-movement. See you in Mühlhausen on January 21st!

Diese rollTogether hat uns in den Tagen vorher wirklich Kopfzerbrechen bereitet. Das Wetter hat uns mehr als Sorgen gemacht und nachdem wir eine Absage von der Dresdner Skatehalle bekommen haben, da ein Skateboardcontest stattfindet, ist uns auch noch die Ausweichmöglichkeit flöten gegangen. Nichts desto trotz waren Kai und die beiden Rostocker Willy Krüger und Robert Siggi schon ein paar Tage vorher bei mir um ein wenig Skaten zu gehen, zu laut Filme zu gucken und gewisse Volksfeste zu besuchen. Als wir uns am Freitagmorgen dann auf den 630 kilometer weiten Weg gemacht haben sind wir durch Regen, Sonne, Regen und Sonne und manchmal auch Regen gefahren. Freitagabend angekommen haben wir es ruhig angehen lassen und uns bei trockenem Wetter auf den nächsten Tag gefreut. Am Park angekommen erwarteten uns bereits einige Skaten und der Feind eines jeden Skaters. REGEN!
Wir warteten jedoch ein wenig, da wir auf Besserung des Wetters hofften und während Dave Mutschall und sein Bruder ankamen geschah das fast nicht vorauszusehende: Die Sonne gab alles was sie konnte und bescherte uns 30 Grad und Sonnenschein!
Die Session konnte starten und je mehr die Sonne knallte, desto mehr Leute kamen zum Park. Daniel Prell, Timm Kittlitz, Jojo Jacobi, Phillip Preuss, Stephan Mohr und unzählige weitere strahlende Gesichter freuten sich auf die Leute und den Tag. Aufgrund des Wetters waren natürlich viel, viel weniger Leute aufgetaucht als bei anderen Session, jedoch tat dies der Stimmung und dem Skaten keinen Abbruch. Die Leute skateten was die Muskeln hergaben und neben den üblichen Muskeln schienen auch die Lachmuskeln bei allen anscheinend überstrapaziert. Es war eine einmalige Atmosphäre und der Park war angenehm gefüllt, sodass sich eigentlich niemand groß in die Quere kam.

Wir hatten eine größere Session hier und da und jeder gab sich Mühe so viel Spaß wie möglich zu haben und das spiegelte sich den ganzen Tag über wider und als dann auch noch der Eiswagen klingelte wurden die Energydrinks beiseite gestellt und alte Schulden oder Wetteinsätze in Eiskugeln gezahlt.
So ging die Session weiter, bis man die Erschöpfung der Leute spüren konnte, und dort war es dann an der Zeit nochmal richtig loszulegen. Das Rennen um den Xsjadoskate konnte beginnen. Gruppen wurden eingeteilt und die Route für das Rennen festgelegt, dann gings los.

Nach einem harten Slam von Stephan Mohr im Finale ging der skate an Jojo Jacobi, der ihn dann für ein Appel und ein Ei an einen der ausgeschiedenen Skater abtrat.
Die Sonne ging unter und jeder war vom Hunger getrieben, man traf einen Großteil der Leute bei der Pizzeria und besprach die Abendplanung. Am besten machen wir hier Schluss, denn sonst artet der Bericht ähnlich aus wie es die Party wieder einmal tat!
Wir sehen uns und das schon bald!

rolltogether_17Hello everyone!

We are back with our first summer session! This time it took us a bit longer to decide which location would be best to host our 17th session. Yes, it’s our 17th session and we are still doing this shit cause we love this shit.

After our last session we decided to do an online-voting on our facebook page www.facebook.com/rolltogether We asked our facebook-community to vote for their personal desired location or venue of the next rollTogether session. During this time we pulled in a vast quantity of votes. Thanks again for all your great contributions! However, in the end it was Dresden that was voted the most! So we responded to the call of our online community and scheduled the next session for August 6th 2011 at the five star concrete skateapark in Dresden.

Join us on the trip to Dirty Dresden - you are more than welcome to follow our tour van! (More details on this coming soon!) So if you want to experience Europe’s biggest rolling session within a relaxed atmosphere, make sure to plan your trip right now!

Meet your old buddies and meet some new homies. For this session we have set up another jam-packed program for you including

  • a “hidden trick”- award session
  • the “Rookie-of-the-day”-award
  • different Prize raffles
  • Free test product sessions
  • Free Energy Drinks
  • Music

 

And of course, we will bring our photographers and filmers to Dresden to shoot and film your best tricks! (Take a look at our edits and pictures from our previous sessions.) And last but not least you are able to roll within Europe’s biggest rolling session. What’s better than that?

We are looking forward to meeting all of you in Dresden to celebrate Rollerblading and the summer season to its fullest.

20110129_rollTogether16Eindhoven_045When we go to a rolltogether we immediatly feel the good vibe flowing from the skaters. We showed up a bit late to the event and were excited to see the park full of bladers tearing it up. After a few hours of skating, Maik started turned the event into an "award session", so everybody was throwing down hard - to get some frames, DVDs, t-shirts and more!
 
The rollTogether guys came up with a new format during the event which they called the "Hidden-Trick-Session.” Maik would select a trick on the iphone grindhouse app and if you did this “secret” trick you could win something nice. Towards the beginning it took too long, so Maik started giving some hints. I really liked the good vibe behind this whole session. Skaters were being awarded for the great tricks they were doing and everybody was just feeding of off it. Maik did not call out hard tricks the entire time either; skaters could win some great stuff by just skating chill.

Towards the end of the session it was announced that Sven Boekhorst had another contest in mind. It was a race contest and the grand prize was a brand new TRS Rollerblade. So they set up a special route through the park and the first one who touched a red box near the miniramp, after speeding through the marked route, would advance to the finals. Each run consisted of 5 bladers with a total of 5 runs. The winner of each run qualified for the final race in order to compete for the grand prize. I think this race was the highlight of the day. Each skater was highly motivated and the whole skatepark motivated the contest. After several brutal slams we had a champion eventually reaching the red box and winning the brand new TRS Rollerblades.

At the end of the day they announced the winner of ‘the rookie of the day’ award, which went to Luca Gobbo. The winner of the Toshiba HD Camera was Robin Bosgra and the Winterclash Wildcards went to Edwin Wieringh and Kenth Uldeval. After all it was another epic rollTogether session. Thanks to Maik and his team for supporting our industry so well.
