The Razors International Pro Team including Brian Aragon, Chaz Sands, Stefan Horngacher and Edwin Wieringh visited the Rheinpark in Duisburg for the Meet and Greet session (organized and sponsored by Grindhouse) and even though it was a normal weekday incredibly many kids showed up to take a glimpse at their idols.

As the Razors Team has been on tour for quite a while they have been very tired, but as Brian told me that this park was the best park they hit up during the tour they seemed to have had activated their last energy ressources and showed - not only the kids and the older skaters - but also the TV cameras, that they deserve to live the Pro lifestyle. Brian and Edwin killed everything with ease while Chaz used the quater to bank hip to show how good his mistyflips and corkscrews are. As you know Horn he was quite busy looking for a nice desaster to grind which he wanted to accomplish. So he did.
Brian and the others gave autographs to the kids and made everyone very happy with their cool, chilled down to earth characters and everything was just perfect, the park wasn't that crowded with rollerbladers as at the rolltogether #5 session, but the kids had a meeting with their stars and idols. The sun was shining, good tricks were pulled, the weather was perfect, Grindhouse distributed some goodies and the fact that we had that huge music box at the skatepark was just the cherry on the cake.
Talking about tricks that were pulled, here you can see Amsterdam's finest warming himself up at a small ledge:

Chaz is the shit. never say this again.
Have you ever seen him in person?
He is the dopest guy ever and can skate like no one else
Chaz sands disgusts me. he looks gross and he's a poser. why is he so gay? i would suck jenna downing tit though, oh well :)
Aragon looks more professional every time I see him, not content to do the same ol' stuff, but always coming up with something new. loved the flat spin over the hip, and the abstract 540
Yeah, it was a nice Session! The atmosphere was great!
