Last weekend, each country in Europe sent its best shop-team to Pier 15 Skatepark in Breda, the Netherlands, for the finals of the Vans Shop Riot 2017. Hardflip front board to fakie, Biggerflip front board, hardflip late flip to flat… That’s what it took to take the win. The level of skating was incredible, even though it felt like it was -10 degrees outside and inside the park. Skate Boutique, out of Belgium, took the win, followed by Skate Warehouse who placed second and Burnside who placed third.
