Den Benne...


Some days ago, I went to Ladybird skatepark in Tilburg. There I met Ben Daeleman and we'd go along pretty fine. I was amazed by the energy this man is giving and all for the love of skateboarding. He told me he just started out making some shirts together with a friend and was selling them in the park. So Ben, here's some support from us. Soon also available at the Area51Skatepark in Eindhoven.
