Belgians In Greece

Back from Athens for a week already, finally found some time to post these up. Above, you will find Kevin Tshala front nosing some downtown riot squad protected concrete. They were about to kick us out, but decided it was OK for a photo. Just one photo though, then you have to leave! Tshala is righteous entertainment, morning til evening. He showed up on this trip with 10 euros for 9 days, spent most of it the first night and then somehow kept his head up all through the rest of it. If you need advice on how to switch frontside flip double sets with no change in your pocket and no idea where your dinner’s coming from, I suggest you give him a bell pronto.

Notis was 13 last year when I first met him. Which would make him 14 this year, if I’m not mistaken? This hip was in a nice part of Athens called Glyfada. Strangely, the square was one big Gypsy camp when Notis was trying this fs bigheels, kids even younger than him running around chasing each other and falling over on his run-up. I’m not sure if this counts as a make really? Maybe a webmake? An animated .gifmake? Certainly not a magmake, but his feet don’t leave the board n the landing, so I’m posting it. The Gypsies enjoyed it.
