BRUSSELS

Wide streets with lots of traffic, glazed skyscrapers surrounded by marble, medieval buildings including a royal palace and a wide gap between rich and poor people - this kind of sounds like New York. However, if you want to experience this big city vibe without travelling across the Atlantic, you don't even have to get on a plane - just head to Brussels. That's what the TITUS guys thought, too, and so Patrick Rogalski, Markus Blessing, Dani Lebron, Jesse Kloes and Jelle Maatman set off on an exploratory tour through the heart of the European Union at the end of September 2024. Welcome to „the city of ledges“!

Breite Straßen mit viel Verkehr, verglaste Hochhäuser umgeben von Marmor, mittelalterliche Bauten samt königlichem Palast und eine breite Schere zwischen armen und reichen Menschen – das klingt irgendwie nach New York. Möchte man diesen Vibe einer Großstadt jedoch ohne eine Reise über den Atlantik erfahren, muss man nicht einmal in ein Flugzeug steigen sondern sollte einfach nach Brüssel fahren. Das dachten sich auch die TITUS Jungs und so begaben sich Ende September 2024 Patrick Rogalski, Markus Blessing, Dani Lebron, Jesse Kloes und Jelle Maatman auf Erkundungstour durch das Herz der europäischen Union. Willkommen in „Ledge-City“!

Titus 40 Years | Street Skate Contest (Chad Muska, Jost Arens, Patrick Rogalski, Patricc Wolf)

#titus40years with Jost Arens, Vladik Scholz, Markus Blessing Marcel Rieger aka Loco Papi, Santino Exenberger, Patricc Wolf, Ben Botta, Tabo Löchelt + very special guest Chad Muska and many, many more!

Every year, the Titus “Battle of the Shops” contest takes place on the same day as our company’s summer gathering. The team riders from each Titus shop are invited to a competition at a local skatepark where they compete in teams against other Titus shops. However, considering 2018 is our 40th anniversary, we had to do something extra special. The 80 team riders were taken to 3 iconic street spots around Münster in a double-decker bus to win 2000€ prize money. The result was an incredible day-long session – this is 2018 BOTS “City Edition”!

AHEAD - Scotland 4K

After leaving his home in Germany, the passionate skateboarder Markus Blessing found himself surrounded by nothing but water:
„Endless, I think, endless is the word that describes my particular situation best…
Slowly something appears on the horizon, green hills seem to grow out of the water. The Seagulls already welcome me. They fly over my head. A sight for the gods - a benefit for mankind. This breathtaking view, crafted by the hands of god, overwhelms me. Unshackled from my past - bound by this moment.“
After miles and miles on the sea, finally, the anchor was dropped and found its way to the ground. Markus Blessing set foot in Scotland.
„Now that I pushed for hours and hours across this land, across Scotland, I was faced with fast changing weather conditions and ever changing territory. My legs are burning, and so is the fire in my heart. This unbelievable country carved its everlasting imprint on my mind.
And only that one thing underneath my feet lets me know, I got to go. Ahead.“
After making his way through Scotland, Markus still is on an undetermined journey… and who knows where he ends up next time.
