Monday, July 19, 2021

The fifth stop of the Blue Tomato x Zumiez Best Foot Forward Europe Tour took place in Utrecht and it was a rather big deal for the local skateboarding community as it was the first skateboard event in The Netherlands in a year!

The Blue Tomato Event Team are more than happy to have been able set up the contest with the Skatepark Utrecht crew. Even due harder COVID restriction in the Netherlands they are happy to provide a safe & fun skate contest for everybody - the first in the Netherlands in a year! The health of the community is the main priority – “small but impressive”. It was amazing to see that 24 skaters turned up and showed what they can do best – skateboarding.

Another highlight of the day was the surprise Session hosted by nobody less than Flatspot Magazine on the A-Frame & on the big wall. All skaters were able to show off some tricks and get some cash & nice goodies.

1st place: Djai Marchena @djai_marcchena

The Blue Tomato's travel judges Stefan Ebner and Gienna Giese gave a comment on the performance of the highest ranked skaters:

Djai Marchen: Was in the first Jam of the qualifications and set the standard for the contest with consistent skating and a good variation of flips, slides and grinds. In the finals he took some more risks with tricks like kickflip fatty to flatty on the pyramid and got rewarded for it.

Daniel Moragues: Along with some solid bs smith grinds and fs feebles on rails this young guy had some mean flip tricks in his bag, like flip front board on downrails and clean tre flips from the A-frame to the flat.

Teun Jannsen: Super fast and stylish skating got the judges attention right from the practice session - a nosegrind on the pyramid`s handrail and a transfer over the pyramid to nosebluntslide down the rail helped getting him in third place, too.

Noor Crevels: This 8-year-old got the whole park hyped with transfers over the spine and bs ollies from tranny to bank - Candy Jacobs, watch out!
