The impressive progress in fingerboarding leaves it´s marks on the calender of events.
Together with the worlds most bustling fingerboard filmer Harald Schön worldchampion and Radio-Skateboards ? activist Timo Kranz invites 64 of the most professional riders to participate in the ?Battle at the Harrics? on march 20 in Berlin.
It is the fingerboard equivalent of the ?Battle at the Berrics? we all know and love from skateboarding.
The winner takes it all and this time it is a lot: 1500 Euro will make the battle more intense.
Fingerboarders from more than 10 nations will take part at this event at the RAW area. The battle will start at 1 pm and spectators are welcome.
This tournament will clearly show the tricks of the pros are no fluke at all.
People were getting ready for Berlin already weeks before and we all could sense a positive tension in the air. The Battle was no doubts going to be something special.
One-on-one battles like this require to be drawn attention to in an outstanding way so instead of playing the GOS on a standard park a perfect marble table top was prepared. The marble surface also optimizes how clean tricks can be done.
It was extremely hot inside the building and the Red Bull logo on the marble table top reminded the riders to catch something to drink from time to time. With new energy the participants showed tricks never seen in a GOS before.
The Battle was a ?the winner takes it all? competitition but most people were extremely relaxed not going for the money at all.
I bet some of the kids are already training for the next battle!
Since an extra game of skate was played to determine 3rd and 4th place the final placings are like this:
