“Spending a week with Madrid’s finest group of young men.” was the name of the article in our ‘Time Issue’. Those guys rule Madrid and we are all sure you will enjoy this full-length video from Madrid. So, grab a cerveza or two and lean back.
Filmed and edited by Roger Gonzalez.
Felipe Bartolome is actually one of our favorites. He’s one of those people you have to meet in real life to see and feel his power and the way he deals with things. Although he won’t be up before noon, there is a huge amount of energy parked somewhere in his body, that pours out just right after he wakes. His batteries are charged around noon, I guess.
When we met Felipe again in January for a Converse event in Stockholm, Sweden he told us to come to Madrid and stay for a while to go out skating with his friends. While he was probably just being nice to us, we had actually thought about it earlier but kept our mouths shut because we thought packing our things to visit Spain for the 50th time might be a bit much. Besides, we didn’t wanna make a false promise, of course. Though Felipe admitted he was a bit astonished when he got the call that we will be on the plane within the next few days, he surely responded positively to the news.
After the launch, it’s the afterparty, then, after the party, it’s back to the hotel lobby, then.. We went back to Madrid to celebrate our launch of the ‘Time Issue’ #60 – this time we were not very lucky with the weather, so no skating for us. But there is a bunch of other things to do in Madrid, right guys? Yes ma, MAD-Style, Fiesta, Remix with the homies from the Sevenmad Crew (Cheers Boys!)
Enough with the R.Kelly lyrics. But we would suggest you listen to THE SONG while flipping through the images.
Ok, Spain. We had enough for a few weeks, at least. We would like to thank Carhartt WIP & Converse CONS for supporting us. All photos by Danny Sommerfeld.
We would like to invite you to the launch event for PLACE Issue #60 the “Time Issue”.
During this event, we want to take you with us and celebrate things in style at Eo7 in Madrid in partnership with Carhartt WIP & Sevenmad and with the support of Converse CONS.
Our new issue is focusing on the thing that is constantly ticking or tocking in the background, not a clock but time itself is the focus of our newest issue.
The evening starts off, with us presenting our newest issue that is followed by a showing of four videos related to the print issue:
Fries Taillieu “1 24 1440” / Adidas Summer camp / Felipé Bartolome’s “Time” / Berlin’s Jerusalem
For more info please go to our Facebook event.
PLACE Issue 60 Features:
Jacob Elliot Harris, Phil Zwijsen, Fries Taillieu, Hugo Maillard, Paul Grund, Felipé Bartolome and many more.
“Sucubo” is Spanish and means sort of a female Demon that haunts you in your sleep. Whether you believe in medieval folklore or not, this video definitely conveys the impression that something supernatural happens here and there. Visual and skating-wise a very well-done video by Mario Fortea!
Featuring Felipe Bartolome, Jvan Virves, Xabi Elorriaga, Gonzalo Jimenez, Carlos Cardenosa and Adrian Del Campo.
Picture the following scenery: It’s August the 15th, we are in Abu Dhabi and the clock is about to hit the 12 pm mark. Can you imagine how it would feel to skate outside in the heat of the desert city? Well, the day before yesterday we did the complete opposite of the above-explained situation. Converse CONS sent us out to Stockholm/Sweden (Yeah, it was cold), where we celebrated a very special happening. Main topic was: David Stentström took us on a very personal tour through his life in Stockholm (HERE you have the masterpiece) and some of us took a little but happy detour that night. The following photos will give you a taste of who was there:
#Pleasecharge comes with the skating of Remy Taveira, Harry Lintell, Felipe Bartolome, Jerome Campbell, Paul Grund, Greg Cuadrado, Kevin Rodrigues, David Stenström, Javier Mendizabal, Carlos Cardenosa, Danny Sommerfeld, Daniel Pannemann and latest addition from france: Sylvain Tognelli.

Here is the first real trailer für Converse Cons’s new euro squad video #Pleasecharge featuring: Remy Taveira, Harry Lintell, Kevin Rodrigues, Paul Grund, Daniel Pannemann, Danny Sommerfeld and more. The release date will be thursday the 25th of june.
Die Cons Ambassadors Remy Taveira und David Stenstrom sind dem Ruf der Wildnis gefolgt und zusammen mit Filmer Niki Waltl nach Südafrika gereist, um Felipe Bartolome im Team willkommen zu heissen. Im Clip seht ihr wilde Tiere, ziemlich abwechslungsreiche Spots und harte Tricks in staubigen Straßen und großen Bowls. Da ist für jeden was dabei…
Wir sind zwar nicht ganz sicher wie der Name der neuen Boardcompany von Enrique Lorenzo ausgesprochen wird – geschrieben wird er jedenfalls wie folgt: Louw. Hier der erste Clip des Brands mit Footage von Pol Calente, Octavio Barrera, Felipe Bartolome und eben auch Enrique Lorenzo himself.
