About the Event
Twice a year the whole European skateboard industry descends on Berlin to come together, compare injuries, exchange ridiculous stories, make the most of Berlins unique natural resources and should the conditions allow, go skateboarding!!!
In the past couple of years with more and more events going on at the same time in the assigned 3 days for skateboarding events during the fashion week, it has become more and more difficult to make sure you can catch up with all the homies and actually get some work done as you have to spend all day dealing with your hangover and chasing people all around the city.
With such a high level of corporate influence in skateboarding these days the real point of coming here to Berlin to get together and strengthen the industry from within has become more and more lost amid the swarms of hipsters and middle aged moneymen flapping around conducting the same conversations over and over to sell themselves and skateboarding for something its not.
A small group of individuals owning independent skateboarding operations have gotten together to create Shitfoot Mongoland skateboard village in the heart of Berlin Revaler Straße. From july 8th to 10th 2015, independent skateboard companies, publications, filmographers and general squads will converge on Urban Spree to create an environment which portrays skateboarding for what it really is. There will be plenty of new creations to skate, booths from companies displaying their products, a film festival projected onto a giant wall facing the road and many skateboard related exhibitions. Not to mention a unique variation of parties, music and culinary delights to ensure the serotonin will stretch out for the full three days.
