In order to be in with a chance, answer this super easy question…

Amateurs from literally around the world will be flying into town for what promises to be another weekend of high-octane skateboarding, and with 10,000 Euros and 12 spots at the main Tampa Am contest up for grabs, this one is sure to go off.

As ever, there will be a live webcast of the finals available over on the Volcom Europe site, so if you can’t make the journey to Amsterdam to watch this one firsthand, you can still keep abreast of the madness that’s going down!

More info to follow…

Anyway, get watching, then hit up the Volcom Europe site for your chance to win a special Alain prize pack…

“Alain Goikoetxea has been skating for Volcom since ’98. In order to celebrate these 15 years of loyalty, he put together a full online video part with footage he’s been gathering over the last few years. For those who don’t know Alain, he is born and raised in the Basque Country and lives right up the hill from the famous La Kantera skatepark in Algorta, where he nearly shreds every day and after all these years of skating it, still finds new lines and tricks that have never been done before. Alain is one of those guys where age doesn’t affect his progression, style and control. Skateboarding is a natural thing for him. Alain’s gnarboots never stop amazing us.”

April 29th!

You obviously came up with the goods – and some odd ones, too – and we managed to get a bit of time with him to talk through desert islands, board sponsors, the existence of a Groms Curse and a whole bunch more.

Watch on! Now who won the Volcom package you ask? Stay tuned…

Volcom Clothing and Sidewalk Magazine are giving you, the reader, your chance to ask Kris Vile any question. Whatever you always have wanted to ask him! ANYTHING!

Here is how it works:
- Post a comment with your question in the comments section below or on the Sidewalk forum. You can also hit us up via our Facebook post about this article too.
- We will then gather all your comments, trap Kris in a corner, and force him to answer the questions we pick to be the most ‘introspective’, let’s say, and capture it all on video.
- The video will then be up on volcomeurope.com, and sidewalkmag.com in the next week or so.

KV is on one! Witness…

With €6000 of prize money on the line, a total of 50 skaters will be battling it out over the three day event which sees a best trick jam on the Sunday, the main Hauling A$$ets comp on the Monday and a Senior Wheelers veterans comp on the Tuesday.

There will also be a live webcast of the Sunday and Monday so be sure to keep an eye on that if you can’t make it to Germany to witness the carnage in the flesh!
