At the end of July I spent a week in Eskilstuna,a Swedish city with one of the best skateparks for blading, the fabulous ZeroOneSix skatepark!

In the second half of July Swedish Championships was held there what gave me a chance to prepare a photoreport for you, but also to meet and have a few street sessions with Fred Andersson, Alex Burston, Piotrek Combrzyński, Richie Eisler, Josh Glowicki, Igor Jovanovic, Montre Livingston, Stephans Mosselmans, Michal Zawadzki and a few other skaters. More pics from street coming soon, today I`d like to show you the competition. Amazing level of blading, juniors and amateurs doing really "pro" trick, every single heat was interesting. The atmosphere at the park (and around) was idyllic and very family (in Sweden skating is seen as "proper" sport, among fans on the competition entire families giving support to their relatives can be found very often), outside there is a second skatepark, in 500m distance there`s a river with a great place for relax after skating, perfect place for summer trips! Check out the Swedish Championships 2013!
