Broke As Fuck, Hamburg (DE), Febr 22.
Hamburg starts its skate year with an event with the lovely name “Broke as Fuck.” Nadja, one of the organizers, says: The name stands for the fact that this event is organized on a shoestring and for the fact that skaters are usually broke.” Therefore, you won’t find regular workshops to pay for at this two-day event. Each one teach one is the way.
It starts off on Friday, 7pm, at the Skateshop Mantis with a hang and skate. You’ll get drinks, two small ramps and a rail.
Saturday is the main event at the freshly remodeled (bowl got some new Gatorskin) iPunkt Skateland.
6pm – Kick off with a vert session and open skating (the hall opens at 1pm).
7pm – Quad Quest with a variety of stations with games where you can grow and learn new things by trying new and fun things to do. For ramp skating beginners and pros.
9:30pm – Bowl contest
