Here are a few clips from Europe’s first skate-underwear company: Lousy Livin. That obstacle looks really fun. I wonder how they carry it around though, it looks pretty heavy…

Ever wonder how that bright, funky styled Clepto gear ends up in the shelves of your favourite skate shop? In case you’re still clueless, the ever creative dudes at the Hamburg warehouse made a little clip illustrating how they do business – hanseatic style!

Cleptomanicx “Rollen Aaller 3″ On DVD

Jan — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:24:37 +0000

If you haven’t already, go and check out Cleptomanicx latest offering on DVD, “Rollen Aaller 3″, a sick ass video featuring the talents (!) of latest Polar recruit, Tjark Thielker, Dennis Laass, David Conrads, Lennie Burmeister and Niklas Speer v. Cappeln, plus Ceptn Clepto.

Cleptomanicx’ third video is a sick mixture of skate footy and skits portraiying the team on duty sailing the Clepto barge through Hanseatic waters. Apart from top notch skating, off the norm editing and individually composed music make this one a special gem. I’m also hoping to see even more abnormally funny stuff from five years worth of b-roll footage to pop up. Can’t wait!

Rollen Aaller 3 is out on DVD as of now, and should as well be out on the web some time soon.

Cleptomanicx Premiering “Rollen Aaller 3″

Jan — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 22:29:24 +0000

Hamburg St-Pauli was the place to be on late Saturday night. Cleptomanicx, Germany’s witty clothing company with a faible for all things nautic, celebrated the premier of its third video installement, “Rollen Aaller 3″. The festivities took place at well-known St-Pauli night life location, the “Übel & Gefährlich”, built into an old WWII bunker. Everyone and their mom came out, to see the action and shake to tunes.

The video itself carries on the legacy of slightly wierd, yet strikingly sick videos put out by clepto since the brand was founded in 1992. All the team – Tjark Thielker, Dennis Laass, David Conrads, Lennie Burmeister and Niklas Speer v. Cappeln – comes out strong, doing some qulity ripping with a lot of unforseen moves and creative skating. Even a few gems of all-time German legend, Jan Waage got captured and thrown into the mix.

Leading through the film is Captain Clepto, Cleptomanicx living mascot and good soul, sailing the Clepto ship through Hamburg’s harbour with the skaters stepping in for cameos – sounds cheese, but comes off legit, especially if you’re German speaking.

Editing in this one is slightly off-standard and it takes a while to get used to. However, who would want the standard stuff…

Good shit, aal(!) the way through!

Check it out if you get the chance to and pay attention to bonus stuff to be dropping somewhere – as I know for a fact, there must be tons of hillarious bits that didn’t make the cut.

Haslam made it!

The captian at his opening speech.

Rollen Aaller!!

Captain in the front, his “smutje”, Tjark, in the back.

Vans Downtown Showdown Hamburg

Jan — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 09:10:15 +0000

Vans’ Downtown Showdown went down yesterday at the heart auf Hamburg, Germany’s district for dry throats and lonely hearts: the infamous St.Pauli “Reeperbahn”.
Jart, Death, Blind Europe, Titus, Antiz, Cliché and Element Europe were in charge of the ripping, each team providing four of their best to session four obstacles, one hour each.
The weahter forecast had been looking grim for Saturday, yet still the sky held, and the radness could go down, under the watchful eyes of hundreds of spectators and legends Tony Alva, John Cardiel and Danny Wainwright, who presented the comp.

In the end the Element team won, Antiz came in second and Blind Europe third, also splitting most of the single and obstacle-specific awards amongst their riders, with Phil Zwijsen taking best AM

and Sam Partaix taking best PRO.

A very nice event all in all, just what those deserveing winners did with their shares of the 50 grand prize money, with one of Europe’s most renown red light districts in only a stone’s throws reach, remains a mystery…
