DB Skimboards: August 2011

Polish Skimboarding Open

Friedrich sent over some photos and video from the Polish Skimboarding open. The event drew a large crowd and has become the largest flatland skimboarding event in Europe. Although the weather did not cooperate the day of the event the boy still threw down and shreded some fun looking obstacles! Congrats to DB skimboards team rider Friedrich Fleuh for taking 4th place in the event!
