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.

“You ain’t gotta tell me, I amaze me!”

Epic, Near-Death Drop Ins

Jan — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 12:32:20 +0000

In response to Alex’s post regarding this month’s drop-in from The Rad, a few other epic near death drop-ins came to mind…

…one from one of the very first skate-mags I ever held in my hands, crica ‘89. The image of Frankfurt local Martin Wagner in a Monster Skateboard Magazin, instantly ingrained into my tender and innocent mind, establishing a spark of loco – one of the fundamentals that make up skateboarding’s radness!

And another one, that almost ended tragically, with David Conrads going to front feeble split seconds after Helge Tscharn had pushed the button on this one, sending David flying pretty much directly to his dome piece! – Sirens. Hospital. Fractured skull… splitting from the hospital a couple of days later, just to skate a comp in the local park!! – The spark of loco is strong with this one!!
