Press Release
Berlin, March 17th 2011
CLASH 2011 presented by Relentless
The Complete Package – Street, Bowl and now Vert is also back!
CLASH 2011 from May 20th - 22nd, presented by Relentless Energy Drinks, charges into its seventh year where Europe’s skateboard-elite reunites
at Skatehalle Berlin. Thanks to the chilled atmosphere a couple of special guest skateboard stars from overseas will also make their way towards
Berlin-Friedrichshain. After a four year break the vert-competition is also celebrating its comeback. Jürgen Horrwarth is giving Europe's largest
ramp a few polishing touches. Lennie Burmeister is taking care of the street course and the bowl which are both being treated to a special facelift.
In planning the CLASH-party, the crew at Skatehalle are driving home the remaining nails, and once they finish, the scene will be set a perfect
CLASH weekend.
CLASH 2011 is held as an invitational competition with an overall price money of 12.500 Euros up for grabs.
The contest has a new format this year. Changes to the street comp should be good news for all real street skaters. Starting with the semi-finals,
the “First Try or Die”-intro trick will have its premier. Thus, every skater gets the opportunity to “drop the hammer” pre- jam. This should also play
into every gambler's hands, since the “First Try or Die”-intro trick will count twofold.
In the bowl contest, which is presented by Zimtstern this year, riders will commence starting in single runs and only the “Death and Glory”-final is
held in jam-format; securing a thrilling finish.
The vert-comp also has a new format and is judged in three different categories: Taken into account are the best run, the best trick around the
extension corner and the “Kings of Doubles”-score. This will guarantee an electrifying vibe and jaw-dropping excitement for the crowd.
The qualifications at the CLASH 2011 are omitted, since it’s only for invited skaters to battle it out. Invites for the CLASH 2011 are mailed to 75
starters in Street, 20 Bowl Riders and only ten selected Vert-Rippers. Not getting an invitation, however, will not necessarily deny you from
entering the CLASH 2011: Preceding the event are numerous wild card session at Skatehalle’s Revaler Straße venue, which could be your key to
the CLASH 2011. Whoever manages to gain a wild card will have qualified to compete alongside the “invited”. For the vert comp, the only two
available wild cards are given out during a vert-session for Jürgen Horrwarth's colourway release by etnies shoes on Friday the 6th of May. For
the street and bowl (acting as the unofficial kick-off to the CLASH 2011 weekend) the “Terror Session” is put in place on Friday the 20th. Here,
those who dare, can acquire one of 15 wild cards in street, and straight after that, one out of ten bowl wild-cards.
Whoever walks away empty handed in the “clash” for wild cards, can still enter the open “Cash for Tricks” session on selected street course
obstacles on Sunday afternoon for their personal claim to fame.
