'The Breakfast Club' is the newest video project out of the Netherlands, aka Holland, or for some people just Amsterdam! That is precisely where the maker of this project is from. We are speaking of Cavin Brinkmann, supported by his sidekick, the no less infamous dog Bobby! Cavin is the dude that you see dancing in those crazy Dutch edits. Do not get the wrong idea though, Cavin is a guy that puts all his energy into what he does. Living in Amsterdam has not made him a drug addict that would abandon skating for a high – skating and filming skating is his high!
We are reporting live from Den Bosch in the Netherlands! Just a couple of minutes ago a local politician handed Sven his first ever Pro model. It took a successful 18 year long career combined with 16 years of riding and working for Rollerblade to receive the crown of it all, a pro skate. This is not the common Pro model story, which should be obvious if you have been following the media over the last few days.
You may have heard of this new skate brand from the Netherlands, 'adapt'. You may also already be friends with them on facebook. If the latter is the case, you might have noticed that they weren't providing too much info about what they were actually brewing over there in Holland. Well, this now changes with this very Company Profile on Be-Mag. Olga Bouwhuis and Pieter Wijnant founded adapt 20 months ago because they saw potential for hand crafted skates made from high quality materials. And here they are now, explaining to us where this has taken them so far.
The BOK is the oldest competition in the Netherlands and it has the best vibe. That is why skaters from all over the country come specifically to this skatepark in the east of the Netherlands. Check out this report of the event!
The idea for the Breakfast Club Tour was to rock Belgium and France in a van fully loaded with nine skaters. We ended up leaving Amsterdam with only the four of us in a VW Con-fucking-vertible off to Belgium. Arne Elgersma, Bojd Vredevoogd, Marnix Haak and Robbert Snijder. Our tour planner Bojd spent the last few weeks looking for the finest, most ghetto abandoned places to get some unique footage for the DVD. The first weekend we ended up skating an old pool, a theme-park and spent the night in a creepy half demolished hotel called 'Kosmos'. Exploring these places at midnight was a great adventure by itself.
Timmy van Rixtel and Jeroen Wullems got 100 € for a skate demo and decided to spend the money going on a small tour through the Netherlands. With no plan where to go they managed to find lots of new spots and had lots of fun. Sleeping in the car and being hungry was their daily routine. They asked people for money and sold old stuff. That's how they survived.
As of today, the name 'Breakfast Club' will no longer only remind us of the essential 1985 movie, revolving around five students discovering the meaning of life after school hours. Dutch skate pioneer Cavin Brinkman, responsible for countless captures of the tricks from every Dutchie to ever touch a pair of skates, such as Tyron Ballentine, Adil Farhouni and Sven Boekhorst, has found himself in the middle of his newest, highly anticipated project. His new skate film will carry the same title as his favorite movie, 'The Breakfast Club'. Set for a release in the beginning of next year, Cavin's new film will not be just another run-of-the-mill hour filled with hazardous hammer and death-defying spins. Instead, the members of the New Breakfast Club will simply amaze their fellow skaters and fans with their inspiring creativity, attention for detail and raw Dutch style. We spoke to Mr. Brinkman himself to talk about what we can all expect from this project.
If you are into European Rollerblading, you might have come across the Amsterdam local Edwin Wieringh. Dutch, cleanest style ever, textbook truespin topsouls, always in a good mode and full of power – those are just some characteristics for a guy who loves Rollerblading more than anything else in his life and that often shreds the Amsterdam streets just by himself. There are some Rollerbladers in our industry that are known worldwide for their extraordinary talent although they have never won an international contest title. Edwin Wieringh has been one of those people – at least until the weekend of June 11th 2011 when he took the Chaz Sands Invite 2011 Amateur comp. When we got the results from our local media team there was a big "Halleluja!" going on in the office. It was just a matter of time that Edwin would win an international recognized contest. We thought that's reason enough to catch up with the Dutch super dude. Curtains up for Edwin "from hell" Wieringh.
I know Giorgio for quite a long time now. In all those times we experienced some perfect skate sessions, road trips, vacations and parties. He is a good filmer and editor and also produces his own music. Everything in the Rollerdam online rollerblading videos was done by the man himself! Lately he has been doing quite well with his music. It's really nice to see all the time and effort he put in now starts to pay off. Giorgio skates the same as the relaxed vibes from his beats – relaxed and with much ease. It's always nice to see him rollerblade. Take some time to read the interview and see that, after more than 10 years in the game, Giorgio still loves rollerblading and everything that comes with it!
»We woke up early and drove to Rotterdam Skateland. I spoke with the owners of the park and they were willing to let us skate the park before it opened. Which was cool because we had the whole park on our own for 7 skaters. Dick Heerkens and Adil Farhouni also joined the session.«
