No food or drink in the skatepark. You can smoke what you want, though. Go figure.

Nihilist waiting for the ferry. We'd just had dinner with them. Good down to earth dudes. Harry Lintell is now waiting to see his metal mates to wind them up about going for a meal with the band.

...and here he is hatching the plan.

Louie Lopez. He came second. He also wanted Holland to win the football that night. So, thats two second places in a day, eh?

Rob Matmaan, Simo and Jebrane have other plans for the instrument. It is Amsterdam, after all.

Micha from VOXSON. I think this was his review of the Spain/Holland world cup game currently in action.

Alec Majerus from Minessota won the contest. He can flip into anything he wants and never falls. That's why he gets to hang with high rollers like Louie and Curren Caples. This is also why they are hanging around in a pub. Celebratory Coca Cola's.

Eniz on the wind up to the locals.

Roberto Aleman and Peter Molec were backing Spain. They were the only folks in the pub not in Oragne and were making more noise than anyone. Brave work.

Check out time from the hotel. This was a pretty silent morning - everyone was exhausted by this point.

DJ Wade switching to iPod playlist between heats and catching some Z's. Did you know he is Stefan Attardo's brother?

Simo Makela. Fin #2. For this blog - not in 'cool guy' order...Otherwise he'd be #1. Sorry Eniz.

Our own Kris Vile and the Volcom photographer Jelle Keppens. Vile wishes he could grow a mustache like that.

The course. Every year it is amazing. Every year they better the last.

Lintell doing the Earl and Mossman taking a breather after a hectic run. Nice boardslide transfer, dude.

Jelle again, this time with Jake Smith the US team manager. He's secretly better than everyone you know at skateboarding.

It does.

Jelle and Peter Molec. Peter is from the Czech Republic and skates switch really well. Who'd have thunk it? He also cut a mean mustache for the Sunday. Czech him out.

Nihilist killed it at the party on Saturday. So much so that they came back and played during the best trick contest. Thrash metal and skateboarding going bananas together. That's how it should be. http://www.myspace.com/nihilistmetalcom

Best trick crowdage. I got a good spot on top of a bench. The people behind me didn't.

Waiting for the winner.

Adam Moss won some loot in best trick for a boardslide 270 shove it transfer thingy. It was quite mental, really.

...But the Aussie Keiran Reilly won that little contest with a kickflip over the barrier to frontside lipslide down the side of the bank. Original lines paying off.

This was Harry Lintells first trip to Europe. Well, the European Mainland. Because, y'know - we're not European, right?

This is the newly Euro'ed Lintell. Actually, for someone so in his own world its a surprise that English isnt a second language to him. He does alright.

Lintell all up in this piece. This is his best Earl pose. Eyes closed. He has that naturally. This is Hans Claessens. Fast footed ripper of a team manager at Volcom and Euro beer drinker.

Ida Holmen. It say's 'Webmaster' on her business card. She should have a pointy hat and big sleeves. It'd make burger grabbing at the BBQ easier to hide, too as people wouldn't notice so easily that she blatantly queue jumps all the time.

Jebrane, DJ Wade and Rob Meronek. Volcom Events ruler, The walking event and Skatepark of Tampa events dude respectively.

Hans took a year off of the booze. He's back.

This guy showed up, danced in the bowl and got a little too close for comfort for most. Don't do drugs.

Eniz Fazilov. Finnish ruler. I dont think he likes mornings much.

Double D. Daryl Dominguez. He was out here staying with friends and kicking it in Holand for a bit. He's always down for Amsterdamn Am.

Gay dog. The owner was hot, though.

Jebrane and Peter Molec. I tried to count the amount of events and parties Jebrane runs per year the other day. It runs well into the fifties. He's always down to shred and party in between, too. Amazing human!

Harry just saw the standard of skating. Damn!

This is where the live webcast was pulled together. The room was about 40 degrees. Weight watchers plan, right?
