Posted on Friday, July 15, 2022 by Matt Shail

Did you know that contests don't start until 4pm in The Netherlands?! After a long day of Qualifiers we ended the day out with a Best Trick Contest that will be hard to beat. Here's a look back at the coverage!

Flatspot
Welcomed by these young wonderful lads upon arrival.
Damien
Practice makes perfect, Damien Philippe gets amongst it.
Diego
Using the whole course and not just the A-Frame, Diego Broest works the sidewalls.
Pier 15
Not Bad! A beach! On an industrial river, but a beach nevertheless.
Thiago
Thiago Monteiro gets the qualifiers started with a Switch Tailslide on the mini-baby Hubba.
Noel
It works for Switch Backtails too!
Bart
BART!
Bart
There goes Bart Buikman ripping! Sup’ with this guy posting in the foreground??
Valentin
Announcers, judges, skaters, and onlookers all take note on Valentin Graindorge’s Kicky Backlip.
Pier 15
Yeah they got fullpipes there, multiples of ‘em, they’re a lil’ tight, but they got them!
Fredrik
It’s just a Front Blunt on a little Hubba, but it’s a classy trick, Fredrik Tangerud knows what’s up.
Fredrik
Fredrik brings more hot fire!
Matt
This is Matt, the backbone of SPOT operations.. Someones gotta be the dick, someones got to be that guy, keep people in line; he’s the one who steps up and does the dirty work. Anyway forget the Bullseye, I’m aiming straight for the piercing blue eyes!
Diego
Diego Broest Boardslides what seems to be the scariest obstacle on the course, not a lot of peeps hittin’ it. What’s with that filmer in the back missing the clip?! He’s prob gonna get fired; def. never taking my job.. that’s for sure!
Diego
More Diego Broest being the bro and showing the bros his Broslide
Pier 15
Some jump!
Pier 15
..While others just hanggggg.
Bart
More Bart, with a Backside Noseblunt Slide this time. What’s with this filmer getting foreground props again?! Background props are one thing, but to just post up in the foreground like that is just thirsty and petty!
Valentin
Why look so sad?! Does Valentin Graindorge’s Back Overcrook not make you happy!?
High Fashion
Jonas
We have come to learn that the Back 180 Fakie Pinch is def one of Jonas Carlsson’s ‘up down star special’ moves, it’s a great trick!
Matias
Loud ‘n’ Proud, Matias Dell Ollio snaggles a Hardflip Back Lip.
Frank
A Dutchman and a Floridian, the film/video/media/ skatelife is the tie that binds.
Elias
Looks like a Willy Grind up the rail, but nahhhhh.. It’s uh perfectly executed Benetar Grind performed by Elias Heitmann.
Mauro
Mauro Iglesias twists one up and gets twisted with a Back 270 Noseblunt Slide.
Pier 15
DJ Redbeard keeps their heads boppin’ with some mind altering beats!!
Max
Max Berguin Switch 270’d into this F/S Feeble.
Ginwoo
Our boy Tim Koster from Flatspot Mag get’s up close and personal with Ginwoo Onodera’s KF Front Blunt.
Uncle Sam
We call it the SSofA (Sam’s Seal of Approval)
Daiki
Daiki Ikeda placed second in Qualifier’s, Alright Daiki! Way to go Daiki!!
Daiki
This is usually where we would place a photo of the number 1 qualifier, Levi Loffelberger; but the guy literally didn’t do a single trick that made a proper still photograph.. Lots of flip in/flip out! So here’s another photo of Daiki instead ¯\_(?)_/¯
Pier 15
There’s a friggin’ heatwave in Europe right now, but luckily as the sunsets and things cool down the crowd can chill n’ relax in the courtyard a bit.
Ginwoo
Ginwoo gets Best Trick started with a safety move on his behalf with a Kickflip Backtail Bigspin Out!
Johan
You know Best Trick was going off when Johan Mogollon’s Heelflip Noseblunt Slide didn’t even make the cut, that’s an awkward one!
Jonas
Also another notable mention in Best Trick that hit the cutting room floor: Jonas Carlsson’s Cab Flip Backlip. Yeahhhhh Jonas!!!
Derick
Playas gonna play… Judges goin’ ta judge.
Mauro
Mauro Iglesias got 5th place in the Best Trick Competition, Congrats Mauro!

Matias
We already got a photo of the Tre Noseslide that Matias did earlier and then he Nollie Heeled out of it in best trick; so here’s a Back 270 Flip Lip instead for your viewing pleasure.
Daiki
Sorry Daiki! You can’t get first in everything, but 3rd in the Best Trick Comp ain’t too shabby! Kanpai Daiki!
Daiki
Not all tricks need captioning, but this one does! It’s a 360 Flip Front Bluntslide!
