Skateboarding at its best: Flowgrind 2018 was a blast!

Event started on Friday with a dynamic Best Line contest in the center of the town, where organisers came up with a nice flowable setup consisted of a launch ramp, hydrant, bench and a rail. A dozen of skaters were throwing bangers, but at the end it was Simon Stricker from Switzerland, who got most technical that day.

Saturday was a true skateboarding day as a lot of people came from all parts of Slovenia and skated along with the pros from morning until almost midnight! During the day qualifications in street happened along with a mental bowl session, where young Canadian Andy Anderson bedazzled the loud crowd with his amazing skills and unique style. Sandro Moral won the best trick.

Sunday started pretty melow. After all last night’s party was quite intense. As soon everyone appeared finals went down. In AM category young Luka Bozic from Slovenia shone with his graceful performance of tricks ending on 2nd place, but just couldn’t take 13 year old Swedish ripper Kristoffer Kroon, who slayed the park and took the gold. Best girl was Agatha Katarzyna from Poland, who had a solid run. It’s worth of mentioning she almost rode away a kickflip over double set and for that we take the hats down!

Well...that sums it up. It was a great extended weekend with a lot of insane skateboarding, good music, great people and just by that Nova Gorica proved again that is a number one skate town in Slovenia. See you in 2019, right Riso?
