Oponside Skatepark

Street skateboarding has long been despised by law enforcement and even by people who don’t understand the value it brings to skateboarders. Some assume that because skaters have tattoos, wear ear gauges, and dress in worn or dirty clothes, they must be drug addicts, unemployed, and a nuisance to the public. That, my dear readers, is what we call stereotyping.

Many got excited to see the well known street skaters like JM Ocana, Edjer, Gene Tulabing, Chiong and the long boarder Dandoy of Grupo Nopo. But what caught the attention of everyone is how well the half German and half Pinoy skated that day. A pro skater in Germany who is sponsored by Favorite Skateboard and part of Marijuth skate crew!

I don’t have videos of him because there are already a lot on YouTube that are worth watching, lol. Anyway, while the skateboarding competition is happening, local bands will also be playing, like Sefyla, Tiger Pussy, The Line Divides, Shuffled, and a special guest, Mr. Ian Tayao.

Everyone’s enjoying and having fun that night that they almost forgot it’s Monday the next day. Anyhow, photos with Daniel are below.
