Croatia’s Antonio Peković not only moved to Vienna a few years back but also managed to film a full part while finding his new home of choice. He is as talented as he is underrated and we can’t wait to see more of Antonio in the near future.
More about Antonio HERE.
We wonder what the title “Boardslide Hood” might be meaning, Interesting choice! Lucien Genand is on our watchlist for quite some time now and this part just turned him into one of our favorites. Enoug talking, watch his latest video now, presented by FREE.
Our friend from Free Magazine just released a new Jaako Ojanen video part. Having finally hung out with Jaako just a few weeks ago, we still don’t understand how that guy works. More about Jaako and Place this Autumn.
This is always a weird post to make because this is a project near and dear to ourselves. It is easy to write praising words about other people because you see the effort in a more objective way. Being humble is a part of northern culture, from Scandinavia down to the Netherlands and Germany, it is considered “not done” to put yourself on a pedestal. On the other side, we have to rate and appropriately respect the work that was put in to make a video & article like this succeed.
To not post it would be a little bit like saying we don’t support and stand behind the projects we work on, which would not be true. And with people like Tjark Thielker, Malte Spitz, Joel Peck, and Nils Brauer involved it would be a travesty not to use our platform for maximum exposure.
So here it is, Fools Gold, part 2 of the Low Flying Birds series. Enjoy it!

To be honest, when somebody asks you who your favorite skater is you always think about the pro’s. In my case, Brian Anderson would be the most likely answer you would get back.
But if we are really are being honest, your friends are your favorite skaters, the difference being that you don’t get the joy of waiting for their parts because you are out on those missions getting some awkward BGP’s, guest tricks and hugs in for the edit. Right?
Well, when we caught wind that my friends Nils & Daniel started working on this project together, I said:
“Don’t tell me any tricks you did, and don’t ask me to come along for the filming missions.”
Roland Hoogwater, early 2019.
I wanted to have the joy of watching my favorite skaters part exactly when it dropped. And so it happened*, they went out to Hannover, Budapest, Croatia, Lissabon, Potsdam & Israel and made this project a reality and I stayed at my post and did my own thing patiently waiting until today.
When all of a sudden I got a message…rushed over to Free’s website and did like you are about to…Press play! And after that simply wait 2 more years for part 2 to show up.

*I actually cheated the one rule and got some guest tricks.
Rob Maatman on his own this time but not without a new sponsor Karaoke which is a new project by dutch entrepreneur Ziggy Schaap.
What does this 7-minute part bring us “the viewers”? Well, it is probably Rob’s most line heavy part ever! Which is something that we quite like because nothing shows style better than some good lines and Mr. Maatman gives us some great ones in this part. Enjoy!
We made this video as a piece to go together with our very own Daniel Pannemann’s interview in the current issue of Free Skate Mag. It was in fact Free’s own Arthur Derrien that proposed the idea of a sort of takeover/collab.
In the end, Sara Parson Texas did the interview itself and I (Roland Hoogwater) got the chance to create this video together with our staff and some of our close associates/freelancers.
We hope you enjoy the work we put in for you all to enjoy and stay safe out there in these troubling times.
Parade is a new online platform that lets you shop online from some of the best skate shops in the world. Heitor is a new addition to their team and to celebrate they put out a solid minute of footage.
“Never forget where you came from, never forget where you got the game from.”

They call him “Zlatan” for a reason, don’t they?
