DIY Riot 2022 | Vans x Titus | Jelle Maatman, Deo Katunga, Jason Lijnzaat

After the DIY Riot 2019 had been more successful than ever, the organizers at Titus were sure to make the event even bigger and more international the following year - but then came Covid-19 and thus the end of the contest linked to the Vainstream Festival. This was also true for the following year 2021 but now, after a 3 year break, it was finally time again: The DIY Riot could take place again! Despite a "skate-calendar" packed summer, the guys from Titus managed to lure an extremely illustrious starting field from 5 different nations to the parking lot of the Skaters-Palace on Friday 1.7.2022 and this call was also followed by a horde of spectators who got to see a "transition battle" of rare quality!

Nachdem der DIY Riot 2019 mehr als erfolgreich über die Bühne gegangen war, war man sich sicher, den Event im darauffolgenden Jahr noch größer und internationaler zu gestalten – doch dann kam Covid-19 und somit das Aus für den an das Vainstream Festival gekoppelten Contest. Das traf auch für das darauffolgende Jahr 2021 zu aber jetzt, nach 3 Jahren Pause, war es endlich wieder soweit: Der DIY Riot konnte wieder stattfinden! Trotz eines „Skate-Kalendarisch“ vollgepackten Sommers schaffen es die Jungs von Titus am Freitag den 1.7.2022 ein äußerst illustres Starterfeld aus 5 verschiedene Nationen an den Parkplatz des Skaters-Palace zu locken und diesem Aufruf folgte auch eine Horde Zuschauer die ein „Transition-Schlachtfest“ von allererster Güte zu Gesicht bekamen!

Skatepark Checkout Enschede "de Fabriek"

Located right on the Dutch-German border, the "de Fabriek" skatepark in Enschede is a prime example of a perfect skate hall. Although located in a "multi-sport building" (climbing hall, basketball court, etc.), you'll find all the nececcities you'd expect from a "real" skate hall. A bar, a brand-new course and first-class parking facilities invite not only locals but also skateboarders from all over the „Münsterland“, the northern „Ruhr-Area“ and the „Emsland“ to an evening session. Also counting in the proper heating and lighting as well as other „plus-points“ our neighbors got to offer, there is very little to say against moving to this masterpiece of Dutch ramp-construction-art for a session as soon as possible! It's worth it, promised!

Jelle Maatman - Vans Skate Classics

In the course of the release of the new Vans Skate Classic shoe, our joint team rider Jelle Maatman, who rides for Vans and Titus Skateboards, filmed a clip with this newly reissued classic. But you can hardly call it a clip at this point. Rather, Jelle filmed a complete part in his hometown of Arnhem and surrounding areas. It quickly becomes clear that the shoe lives up to its reputation as an all-rounder and meets Jelle's high demands for comfortable yet very durable footwear. A "match made in heaven" that immediately makes you want to skate spots requiering some creativity on your board!

Im Zuge des Releases des neuen Vans Skate Classic Schuhs hat unser gemeinsame, für Titus Skateboards und Vans fahrende Teamrider Jelle Maatman einen Clip mit diesem neu aufgelegten Klassiker gefilmt. Wobei, von einem Clip kann man an dieser Stelle kaum sprechen. Vielmehr hat Jelle einen kompletten Part in seiner Heimatstadt Arnhem und Umgebung gefilmt. Hier wird schnell deutlich, dass der Schuh seinem Ruf als Allrounder gerecht wird und Jelles hohen Ansprüchen an komfortables und dennoch sehr haltbares Schuhwerk entspricht. Ein „match made in heaven“, das sofort Lust auf Skateboarding an kreativen Spots macht!

Rambo Crew's 'Passing By'

Rambo's Passing By recently caught our attention, especially all of Lars de Weerd's footage on that gap to rail... Love how the Dutch word for a Pupecki grind is 'sterf grind', meaning 'death grind', yet here they are once again proving to us that their nation breeds humans that are superior at scooping back 180s into fakie 5-0s.

This extract from the video features Lars de Weerd, Bert Roeterdink, Jelle Maatman, Ewoud Breukink and Stephan Schuuring, and was filmed by various members of the crew + Jan Maarten Sneep.

To find out a little bit more about Lars and the Deventer boys pick up a copy of issue 32 (which should be in all good skate shops across Europe now).
