While half of the #BoardrBoys were in Copenhagen, the other half consisting of Jorge, Tim, and Jason were in Berlin running another stop of adidas Skate Copa there. Aarow and Beast shut it down and gets the trip to The Berrics for the Global Finals in September. Jorge has a GoPro edit and some photos from the day.
Before the actual contest we had some time to explore the city of Berlin. This spot is a memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe. The city of Berlin is rich with history.
I wonder what she is writing in her journal.
Walking through the memorial was a bit eerie.
Berliner Dom, also known as the Berlin Cathedral Church, survived the bombing of WWII and is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in.
Here is the inside of the church.
The view from the top of the Dom.
This park was once a crater left by a big bomb during WWII.
This time around we did a kickoff party/registration at the original flagship adidas store.
Dylan holding down registration with The Boardr Live, our software the runs all these skateboarding events. First time in adidas Skate Copa history where we checked in almost all the teams the day before the contest.
Here is a bird's eye view of the skatepark at Tempelhofer Feld. This plaza was made from old stones from a palace in Germany.
Tempelhofer Feld, once an airport now a park, was the main airport used during WWII to get supplies to West Germany during blockade.
Lem Villemin was the pro skater for Arrow and Beast. He helped his team get to the Finals with this hard flip on the Boost the Bar.
The Distillery and adidas Berlin crew killed it in making this event happen. That adidas Skate Copa Banner behind them didn't hang itself.
A nice Euro couple enjoying the skateboard contest vibes.
Francy was our German interpreter while we were doing registration. When she wasn't helping us, she was checking out what the adidas Boost technology was all about.
This was the parking lot of the skatepark. No cars allowed.
The food truck was one of the few things that had an American presence at the Contest.
You have to start them when their young. Skateboarding brings so much joy in life.
The Boardr Live was in full effect at adidas Skate Copa Berlin.
Patrick Zentgraf was a big help for Arrow and Beast with a proper switch nose grind on the picnic table.
The rain clouds were brewing.
Denny Pham, remember this name. He had the most proper nollie heel over the Boost to Bar that I have seen at any Skate Copa stop.
To win adidas Skate Copa, the winning team has to skate for a total of 20 straight minutes. Lem Villemin was making sure his calfs weren’t going to cramp.
Joscha Aicher and Daniel Ledermann killed it for SHRN Skate Shop. SHRN stands for So Hot Right Now and they were definitely heating things up. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to get them to the next round.
The rain came and put a slight delay on the Finals.
The crowd invaded the adidas tent.
Not only were we giving away Euros, but Monster Headphones was giving away the goods for tricks we liked. Patrick came up on a pair for the switch flip.
Denny Pham with one of the hardest tricks I have seen done over the Boost to Bar a nollie inward heelflip.
Random homie that wasn’t in the contest shut the Boost the Bar Best Trick Down with this switch backside heelflip.
Believe it or not this dude kissing Tim O’Connor did an ollie over the Boost the Bar naked.
Everyone that competed in adidas Skate Copa Berlin looked like they had a good time.
We give three special prizes to skaters that stand out during the contest. Joscha Aicher and Daniel Ledermann had the highest scores of the day, but weren’t able to advance due to the low third score from their teammate. It was only appropriate to give them a special award.
Congrats to Skate Deluxe who got third place at adidas Skate Copa Berlin.
Congrats to DooDah who got second place at adidas Skate Copa Berlin.
Going to the adidas Skate Copa Finals in Los Angeles are Arrow and Beast, winners of Berlin stop.
What better place to have an After-Party than a rooftop pool lounge.
There was also a nightclub inside. Berlin rules!

The second year of adidas Skate Copa just wrapped up, this year with five extra international stops making 10 total shop teams that all came to Los Angeles for the Global Finals at The Berrics. 3rd Lair destroyed it this year. After that amazing day of ripping skating, A$AP Ferg came and did a show that blew everyone away before calling it a night.

We were recently in Prague to help run the Grand Prix there. Dylan Perry has some samples from outside of work there.
