Skatehalle Berlin reportedly gave their bowl a little tuneup getting ready for Clash 2011 to be held May 20-11, 2011. Wouldn’t mind a few lonely warm up hours on this little bit of perfection. Which reminds us: we’ve never been to Berlin. Hard to believe, but true. . . Follow the jump for more info.CLASH 2011 presented by Relentless
20 – 22 May
Skatehalle-Berlin
Easter is almost knocking on the door, yet instead of Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs from grandma, Skatehalle Berlin’s mailbox is bursting with riders’ registrations for CLASH 2011– presented by Relentless Energy Drinks. And as in every proper Easter basket, at CLASH you’ll get a real mix: Berlin-born, lazer flip wizard, Willow; tech wonder and former Euro champ, Alex Mizurov; style king Andy Welther; contest killer Axel Cruysberghs, Big Ben Nordberg plus a bunch of other top class skaters from all over the place. Also confirmed are Holland’s Wieger van Wageningen, Germany’s Lem Villmin, Finland’s Eniz Fazliov, Englishman Benny Fairfax, Portuguese Ruben Rodriguez and many more. On top of that, rumors of potential big names from the US are growing.
Meanwhile, the crew around Lennie Burmeister are not afraid of getting their hands dirty and have announced the bowl renovation will be finalized late March. Well renovation is an understatement, more like re-invention: the additional corner grants a new lease of life to the ramp, liberating it from its “dead end”. Lennie also took care of ironing out some of the bowl’s wrinkles and supplied the new section with granite coping as smooth as the chocolate on an Easter Egg. Everyone who witnessed Jürgen Horrwarth’s first take on the new round, must have cracked a smile inside thinking of that upcoming Death or Glory Bowl Jam presented by Zimtstern…
Saturday night’s headliners for the CLASH party should brighten up your face even more. In line with Relentless Energy Sessions, “Foreign Beggars” come to town on May 21st starting at 23:00h, live at Cassiopeia. This means: bass, blowing you out of your shoes and rhymes, to leave you breathless – UK grime at its best! Brrrraa! German DJ-legend Stylewarz provides support for the Beggars whilst the Modern Stalking DJ Team rocks the second floor with their “Eurotrash Roots Reggae for Speedfreaks and Punk Poppers” set and rare groove and soul tunes add to the night in the Biergarten.
As the latest installment to CLASH news, the official CLASH trailer, made by Torsten Frank of Place video fame, is now available. Have a look, for some good ol’ CLASH good times! At any rate, after watching the clip the 20th of May will be at least 45 seconds closer.
