First of all, it has been like a year since our a great tour. At first, it was uncertain if we’d even be able to go or not. But, we lucked out and everything came together to make tour and the Try to Roll Contest happen in 2011 for us. Kicking it off, we headed straight to BCN.
When I first heard my teammate Maik was planning a tour, I couldn't wait for it. Especially when he told me how he'd already booked tickets to Barcelona. Only a few weeks before, me and my good friend Eugen Enin had already paid a visit to the very same amazing City. What can I say? I fell in love with the place and was obviously well juiced to go back! Ever since I became a member of the Grindhouse team I've wanted to experience one of the legendary GH-tours! Being the lucky rascal that I am, I eventually ended up visiting Barcelona twice last year.
As I sit here in Istanbul Airport, ever alert for the need to dash to the bathroom to avoid a calamity, I think about the events that led me here. Over a year ago a friend called me and told me that there was a group of skaters coming from Dakar to do a show in 'Parc de la Ciutadella' as part of a Dakar/Barcelona collaboration of culture. There was a meet the day before, and the skaters asked if I would join them. I arrived at this palace of a house in the centre of Barcelona, and found no-one related to the event. I was underdressed and considering leaving, feeling rather out of place. I decided to wait it out and how glad I am that I did.
For this years Grindhouse trip I had something different in mind as what we did in the past years. I didn’t want to tour through Europe, but spend a few days in the mecca of our sport and have a good time there without having the stress of driving the car from one city to another.
What started out as an option for a cheap and efficient form of transportation for the inmates of the infamous Powerhouse in Barcelona, has quickly evolved into a stand-alone branch of Aggressive Skating. Now, a year later you may have noticed these unorthodox looking frames and wheels on display at just about all major shops and retailers. Unorthodox maybe, but only to the eyes of the unengaged. Check out this article and get the low down on the latest trend in blading, or inevitably be passed over by your mates that keep up with the times. And, you better believe they'll be moving fast.
Every single year the Grindhouse team embarks upon a road tour. This year's tour took the German Grindhouse team to Europe's rolling mecca, Barcelona. There, the crew consisting of Sacha Lopez, Daniel Prell, Maik Lojewski, Timm Kittlitz, Alex Rudolf and Daniel Gourski destroyed every obstacle and party place in their path. You know the deal: When the Grindhouse is on tour, madness is the daily routine. Here you can peep the first part of the "Grindhouse Tour 2011 in Barcelona"-series featuring Sacha Lopez. Sacha injured his hands some days before the tour, but obviously this didn't hold him back.
Enanoh, was the name given to Mr Marc Moreno, somewhere around the late 90's back when Marc was the youngest and by far the smallest little lad in amongst a pack of evolving rolling spanish giants. Enanoh, translated from Spanish to English = dwarf. Time, brings great changes, today Marc is the tallest amongst his allies, he is not just an icon to the younger generation but is looked upon as an inspiration amongst many of the Giants who once help to raise a dwarf.
It was a pretty controversial step to start a promotion of a rollerblading movie project with a trailer without any skating shown. Instead, the trailer shows five dudes waking along an avenue. The first "Here We Are" trailer drew different reactions from the audience, dividing the rollerblading community into either lovers or haters. And here they are again with a fresh new leftovers edit and photos from their recent Barcelona trip!
I was in Italy last week and I began to do the write up for our stay in Barcelona when I somehow just deleted the whole thing. What was most interesting to me was that I wasn't mad. I mean, I felt myself start to get mad and start to react like any rational person might after doing such a thing, but this time was different. I felt like I had the option not to. I mean, it already happened, and it was by no means a conscious move towards righteousness but it was already said and done with. So after having to tell Greg and Sven about it I let it go. A pretty awesome transformation on my behalf. For myself anyways.
On day 3 of the tour, we woke up to a sunny Tarragona's day, everything looked perfect, and we decided to go Reus Skatepark to meet with the other bladers and start the sesh. The weather was super hot under the killer spanish sun. For lunch time, we moved to a bar to have some tapas.
After months of waiting the Powerhouse Home Movies have been released by The Conference. Enjoy a free full length video to end, and officially close the doors to the Powerhouse Studios project.

Be sure to go replay your favorite Eisler HD edits from the PHS, and if you want to see the Xsjado crews best tricks keep an eye open for the anticipated Xsjado video later this year.
2011 and the Powerhouse are now just memories in our mind. The Conference and the Powerhouse studios remind us how awesome it was. Here's the fourth and final video installment of the Barcelona Sessions. Shot and cut by Mr. Richie Eisler with music from M83 and Wye Oak.
Skating in Barcelona is incredible with so many interesting spots to blade and perfect weather. The UK's Julian Coulter got his hands on some powerblade frames and he filmed some tricks at some rugged spots.
Mr. Tony Cheetah sent us a message telling us about these lost clips he found on some old tapes.
A new edit of the UK's own Julian Coulter, filmed during the winter months in Barcelona.
For one year, I walked and rolled the streets of Barcelona with my vintage VHS-C camera on my shoulder, documenting the Powerhouse Studio and its guests to the fullest. I choose to do this with a traditional style we can all relate to... The analog handheld movies our families once shot of our childhood.
