Good day. The Ignition Beer & BBQ just went down. For all of you who want to know what went down, but don’t want to invest time in this knowledge, we got a short report with hard facts. For all of you with more time and interest in more details, just check the second report at the bottom :)

*Quick version:*

Ignition Beer & BBQ 2007

After the Ignition Summer Opening and the VALO event, the Beer & BBQ was the third event which took place in the brand new Ignition Indoor Park.

And right in the beginning I can tell you that it was by far more international than the two other ones.

The whole Hungary Crew showed up, together with THE MAN Richie Eisler from Canada. Also the Danish Guys around Jacob Juul and their Swedish friend Joje joined the party.

Oh.. and the two dutchies as well.

So what can I tell you about an event which isn’t about mad competitions a stress? Should I tell you that everybody had a relaxed weekend with some swimming in the lake?

That we had a nice BBQ in our own beer garden?

Or do you want to hear that the session in our indoor park was more than chill?

Ohhh.. I’m sure you want me to tell you that the beer case high jump was incredible funny and sick.

Stefan Horngacher can do 540 rodeo in every height and our very own Ignition Valley stuntman can do superman frontflip into a wall of beer cases.

And what happened after the high jump?

Maybe one of the oh so super cool Ignition Parties?

Maybe yeah! Maybe Dominik Wagner danced on the fridge and the bar. And maybe everybody had a great time while talking to old and new friends?

Hm.. who knows?

YOU know - if you’re coming to the next event in our Ignition Valley.

I hope everybody enjoyed the Beer & BBQ and I hope to see more of you guys at our next blast!

See you soon

*“Invest more time” version:*

Every year Ignition presents you two major events in the Valley. The first one is the Summer Opening, and as the second event we got the Beer & BBQ. And that’s the one I’m going to talk about right now.

The name itself should explain a lot to you. People aren’t coming to this event to check out the sickest competition and to follow a strict schedule. People are travelling all the way to our small Valley to enjoy a relaxed weekend together with friends in a nice and beautiful surrounding. And maybe to drink some beers, eat loads of meat and skate a bit in one of the best skateparks in Germany / Austria.

Sounds like a normal weekend in your hometown (besides the skatepark thing)? Maybe. But I didn’t inform you about the specials yet.

Ok… let’s just start from the beginning.

Friday as the “arrival day” had already a nice program to offer. First we reserved some seats in our local cinema and a bunch of rollers went there to watch the brand new “Simpson’s” movie. Ever went to the cinema with 30 rollerbladers from all over Europe?

After that we showed the second issue of “Hey Dude VM” in the skatepark.

The movie just got premiered at this years UCON party in Munich and this was the second chance to see it before its getting into the shops.

After the movie everybody chilled in the brand new Ignition Bar which is (for sure) also located in the skatepark.

Oh. And did I mention that the event was quite international?

The Hungarians together with Richie Eisler from Canada had their last tour stop at our event. Some dutchies also showed up and the Danish guys around Jacob Juul came together with Joje from Sweden. Together with some Austrians and Germans, we where a pretty mixed up crew for a nice relaxed weekend of rollerblading.

Saturday was the official “meat day”. We started the bbq in our own beer garden at 1.

At the same time the indoor park opened for everybody and we spent the afternoon with eating, drinking and skating sick sessions. Some of the people went to the lake for sure.

At 7 in the evening we started the probably funniest thing on our program. The beer case high jump. Mark Stamer, Dominink Wagner and Stefan Horngacher jumped higher than everybody else. And Stefan always rodeoed over it. But one man just topped everything.

Our very own Ignition Valley Stuntman felt like it was time for some action. He just fronflipped THROUGH the wall of beercases and paper boxes. But not just a normal frontflip, that wouldn’t fit his style. A superman frontflip - which means you’re jumping head first trough the wall and after you passed it, you’re doing the flip.

I can’t remember when I was more shocked and more laughing at the same time.

After that action we started with the official after party in the Ignition Bar.

Some local people also showed up and later the night the dance floor got entered.

Ok, people didn’t enter the dance floor before Dominik Wagner and I did a quick dance on top of the fridge and the bar.

Yo… that’s pretty much everything to tell about this years BBQ event.

As always, everybody had a great time – at least that’s what they told me.

We are looking forward to meet more of you at an event in the future.

Just mark our new year’s event in your schedule.

See you soon.
