The Drive: Element Day 8

Alex — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:00:03 +0000

The final drive to Cologne: when blue marker pens go wrong…

8am departure from Vienna to Cologne.

Jarne and Nassim showed up 1 hour late, straight from a party with no sleep.

Too easy to not take advantage of the situation.

It could be enough…

But it’s not!

Guillaume did that on purpose. Fair play!

Too late to complain. Push the game to the limit.

Finally arrived in Cologne to meet the crew 2 hours late. Time to count the points and figure out who’s the winner !!!

Knight Rider, football shorts and nudism.

Guillaume’s friend from Vienna is the happy owner of the one and only Kit from Knight Rider the 80s T.V show.

As you can see the T.M, Alex, looks just like David Hasselhoff.

The proof in the pudding.

Phil ski-doing.

Nassim getting ready for the Larance challenge.

Guillaume taking his Revenge after Nassim ripped off his t-shirt.

Luckily for Nassim he still had the shorts to go back to the hotel in…

Vienna’s bowl!

Guillaume ate shit.

Austria’s fine art graffiti.

Austria’s fine riders.

A spot of modern day chilling.

I wasn’t even aware of this challenge!

Alcoholic teeth brushing, second angles and Jagermeister.

Jarne took care of the tooth brushing with beer…

And Guillaume went for the red wine.

Nassim was trying to skate, and we had to keep quiet to avoid the security guard. This is what you have to do when you really want tranquility.

Phil killed it as the second angle man.

No comment.

We drove to Vienna that night to go to a party. Jarne warmed up with some Jagermeister.

The infamous Linz ditches

TM Alex was feeling the Hugo wig.

Phil about to make his own interpretation of Hugo.

Nassim and his own interpretation of what is real gangsta!

Jarne chillin’, Niki filmin’ and Ruben skatin’…

Nassim foolin’!

Bridge jumping and cold rivers.

Nassim keepin’ it clean after a gypsy night.

This was on the way to Linz after the night at the skatepark. This water comes directly from the mountain and was drinkable. Maybe not after we washed in it, I guess… Belgians on the rocks !

Manu Magreiter showed up and explained to the boys where to jump because the river was only 2 meters deep…

…actions speak louder than words. Manu back flipping first go, no pussy !

Meanwhile Guillaume made the most of the river with a wash and shave.

The Drive: Element Day 2

Rain, concrete, DIY spot building and a skatepark hotel.

Random parking lot scene. Buying concrete.

On our way to Brixlegg we stopped at an indoor skatepark because it was raining. Nice banner isn’t it ?

Skatepark ashtray fail.

So we had concrete and it was still rainning. Perfect conditions to build our DIY spot !

Nassim getting dirty.

A guy told me this toilets just got cleaned

The team work result. Such a masterpiece!

We slept at the skatepark that night.

Don’t be the first one to fall asleep…

The Drive: Element Day 1

Alex — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:00:01 +0000

So we (Nassim, Jarne, Guillaume, Alex and myself) arrived in Innsbruck the night before The Drive starts to catch up with the rest of the crew. After one day, safe to say, everybody was more than comfortable.

First night in Innsbruck after a bit more than 6 hours on the road. Time for some street legs stretching.

Guillaume’s got his very own way to stretch.

Light wall and booze? Boy band photo!

The day after at the Landhausplaza. Jarne’s first attempt of a line with no wheels.

Not that easy…

Then he tried a real trick. He had a hard time but it was for the right cause…

We stayed at this plaza until the night, chilling with the locals. Niki’s long time friend Dominik showed up. Always good to have him around. A couple of drinks and we were ready to bounce.

On our way to the party. Austrian advertising at its very best.

We made it to the club! Still wondering what’s is going on on this one…

Where’s Wally/Guillaume ?

Straight from the session to the club. This is how Jarne does…

…and the ladies love it !

We had a good night, for sure, but maybe this guy had more fun ?
