What? Statue Park? This is small country of Erde!

Ok so we just got back to our hostel after a 50-60 km board-outing. Exhausted and soon it's time to hit the bars.
This is what happened; We were planning to go visit the statue park of communist leaders. It's located in southwestern Buda and after calculating by the hostel maps we came to the conclusion that it was about 4km away.

We packed up our bags with water and compeed and started pushing. half an hour later we get to the train-station and know we can almost smell the moldy statues from the communist era. We keep pushing but there is no park in sight... After 20 mins we stop and ask for directions since we're completely lost.

A kind hearted man tells us our location on our map and tells us to backtrack and then take a left, we do as he says and after an awesome hill, that kept us rolling for 10 minutes and god knows how far, we come to a ducati store and decide to get our bearings since we have to be close by now.
The storekeeper goes "What? Statue Park? This is small country of Erde!" You'd think there would be borders or at least a sign.

After being lost for about an hour we decided to give up on our plans on the statue park I mean how exiting can a couple of statues be eh? And pushed in the direction we thought was back towards Budapest. That was 3 hours ago. Phew now I'm almost sweaty for writing this much so quickly Sebastian is pressuring me to go out. Well we're off, next time you hear from us we're hopefully writing from Hvar, Croatia! TOODLES

P.S If landyacthz is reading, I'm pretty sure we got you at least 1 new customer here in Budapest, people stare their eyes out on us as we roll down the streets and about 3 hobos have tried to ride em. But seriously we talked to a father who was thinking of buying his son one for his birthday!

BUDAPESCH

We've got some terrible news readers... we cant use sebastians phone to upload piccies, at least not while in Hungary schmungary. We tried blogging the first day review but since it ain't up yet we can conclude that our methods do not work :(.
Anyhow I'll just have to write it again. So after arriving to budapest airport and reading in the lonely planet guide that Hungarian people all try to scam tourists we quickly judged a kindhearted man and almost blew our shot at some fine metro tickets which he was trying to give to us for free. All we can say is that lonely planet is wrong, hungarian people are all very kind and helpful, the only ones who're out to scam yah are the expensive tourist traps around the main street.

Ok so after arriving to Budapesch and rollin down some fine streets the rain started pouring, there wasn't much else to do except start downing beer (15 kr / pint).

When we came to after drowsing off in a pub we ventured over to the Green
Bridge hostel and were pleasantly surprised as to how clean it was and what good standards the rooms had.

After an awesome nights sleep we woke up to a sunny sky and were quick to eat our noodles and whip out the evos for an unforgettable ride along the banks of pesch. After 10km we had our first pit-stop at a private club, since we were foreigners they let us in even though we were sweaty and smelly. After a cold one and a crazy bus driver, who blocked us on purpose, we headed home. Now we know, Budapesch is city sculpted for longboarding.. Wonderful. Tonight we head out to party on a boat, its supposed to be reeeal hawt..

Le Tricolore - Footage from France

Today I head back to a snowy and cold Sweden...

Feels annoying to do so but at least yesterday I got some cool footage. I found this really amazing hill, ca. 2km from the top to the bottom and a slope of about 10%..

Very nice, I like..

Ps. I look a bit shaky and that's because a few minutes before this was filmed I gave the good ol' asphalt a visit. We exchanged some road rashes but otherwise we are still on good terms...

Finally in France

After 13 hours of traveling last Thursday I finally made it to the Cote D’azur.

Yes the trip got messed up and delayed and no it should take that long time from Sweden to France.
The plane company messed up as usual, but at least I got here.

Anyhow, the first thing I did was to strap on my randals on my good old motion board and I just now came back from some rad carving in the neighborhood. Feels good to finally ride and the weather is nice. From -15 in Stockholm to +15 in Nice, a welcome change!

Today we launched the updated and improved version of the site with an external photo gallery and some other new goodies such as a new team page were you get to “meet” us (hopefully some more info will added soon). We’ve also decided to engage ourselves in charity. Please check it out (http://www.justgiving.com/boardeurope) and if you can, please donate!

The Garage : Revamped

If you guys enjoyed the jazzy happy-time edit of the garage footage by Sebbe, here's a version I made to some more "epic" music. Hey, I'm Patty by the way, I do some media here and there for these dudes (check my logo!). Anyways, enjoy!

P.S. I've made a few blog changes, to make the videos bigger. Enjoy!

Viva la France

We have been receiving a fair amount of hits during the last couple of weeks, around a 1000 to be more precise and it really cool to see that we have quite a few returning visitors. We are having troubles with the longboarding in Sweden right now, we are restricted to "our" garage as there is still some snow left and a lot of gravel.

Anyhow, on Thursday, I'll be heading down to the south of France and I'll be able to ventilate the stoke that has been building up in me during the last couple of months. Hopefully, I'll also get together some nice footage from the alps so,

Stay tuned, we promise to be faithful.
