etnies and Carhartt
presents the 8th edition of the
EUROPEAN SKATEBOARD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2008
07. - 10. August 2008
Basel, Switzerland
Ground control to ESC zero-eight
Over 500 skateboarders from far, far away galaxies are expected to descend and invade the Kunschti in Basel the weekend of 7th – 10th August, 2008. During takeover of this urban atmosphere, they will discover smooth surfaces to kickflip, ollie and grind. To further welcome these skate invaders, etnies and Carhartt have created a brand new streetcourse, built by the force of the IOU-Ramps and lots of local help, that promises to transmit the true vision of street skateboarding in the 21st Century. The miniramp looks set to showcase some great talent from European skateboarders and, of course, their local heroes. For the youngsters, the Junior Champs are scheduled for Thursday and the Girl’s Jam will take place in ‘street’ on Sunday.
An accompanying program of music and celebration orbits the 8th edition of the ESC with more information soon to be displayed on www.skateboardeurope.com
The European Skateboard Championships are normally for European ‘beings’ only. This year, we are authorized to accept the participation of extraterrestrial inhabitants with a valid transportation card and welcome them with a 50% off inscription fee.
