SAUSAGE FEST!!!

SAUSAGE FEST !!!!

27/03/2012

Le thème de la soirée mettait à l honneur les pull moches et si possible aux motifs "trop" originaux. Des bières gratuites récompensaient les plus laids, parfois malgré eux...

The theme of the evening put all ugly sweaters in the spotlight and especially the ones with "too creative" patterns. Free beers rewarded the ugliest, and sometimes even in spite of themselves...









Au menu, les ingrédients traditionnels étaient réunis et accompagnés d'une spécialité afin de pimenter la soirée: la Zekilla: un doux mélange de tequila, cannelle et piments!

On the menu, the traditional ingredients were gathered and accompanied by a specialty to spice up the evening: the Zekilla: a soft blend of tequila, cinnamon and chili!







Tout ceci a bien rechauffé nos coeurs, en tous cas suffisamment pour qu'un camarade se mette à l'aise pour danser!

All this warmed our hearts, at least enough for a comrade to feel comfortable and free to dance the way he wishes!







La bande originale était assurée par les Foufounes Cosmiques qui ont fait transpiré tout le monde à grands coups de remix punk, rendant l'atmosphère moite et assourdissante.

The soundtrack was provided by the Foufounes Cosmiques (cosmic pussies) who made everyone dance and sweat with severe punk remixes, making the atmosphere moist and deafening.





Un grand MERCI au Cactus Saloon , Tosh, Neige Aventure , Jimmy, Fredo, les Foufounes Cosmiques et les ugly people !

A huge THANKS to the Cactus Saloon , Tosh, Neige Aventure , Jimmy, Fredo, the Foufounes Cosmiques and all ugly people !

But where is Marbach-Egg anyway? It’s a small resort located in the center of Switzerland, in the Emmental region (where the real swiss holed cheese come from). There, the shop chain Radix organised so called „Parkdays“ where shredders come together and ride with friends, along with coaches who were giving advices and filming participants. Besides learning new tricks together, people could spend the night on the mountain partying or night shredding.


Backflip session off the pipe

When we (swiss sales rep and marketing dude) arrived there, -12°C and 30 cm of fresh powder was welcoming us.
„Parkdays“ suddenly turned out to be „Powdays“!
It was really sweet to ride the park with a downy cushion at the landing. The park features all kind of rails, boxes and a few kickers. But best of all was the pipe! It’s literrally carved in the earth with an old school shape, which was pure fun to ride and try new tricks.
The Marbacher Park Crew helped us get everything ready; and by noon the BBQ was grilling all kind of sausages. We even made the locals discover „Merguez“ sausages! But it wouldnt have been a swiss event without some chocolate too!


Swiss rep Yannick ready for some serious grilling

Between runs, riders were pitsopping to warm up their hands and heart with tea, coffee and hand warmers. Other goodies like wax, sun screen or DVDs were offered. In the end, we all had great times together meeting new friendly people, discovering a new resort, riding some powder and pipe and savouring sausages of course!

Big thanks to all riders, Yanick, Radix shops, Eric, the Marbacher Park Crew, the ski resort and the Boucherie des Tilleuls!

Text in Spanish:
Nuestra anual Invasión al Mediterraneo transcurrió entre cielos azules y buen rollo. La diferencia , este año, fue que aterrizamos en las Islas Baleares, concretamente en Mallorca. Gony y Miguel surfearon y merendaron una deliciosa barbacoa con los locales, amigos y sus familias. Hubo regalos, bebidas y unas olas para disfrutar durante toda la tarde del sábado.

Despite the lack of snow in the Pyrénees we decided last Sunday to visit our friends at the ST LARY Snowpark and test the new BBQ. It snowed all day but some fun shredding, the gluhwine and the free BBQ kept everyone warm. Here is a mini clip that the KIM bros put together of our family rider Felix Cadiou, Stoneman and the folks having fun in the park. If you’re around don’t hesitate to go say hi to the snowpark crew, they do a good job keeping the park fresh and in shape all season long.

Saturday ,13 November the Volcom Circus headed down to Sports Extreme in Trondheim for a Volcom Sausagefest with a good old-fashioned railjam. In advance of this event the Sports Extreme Crew created a great set-up with two rails and a stair set.



We were fortunate with weather and the sun popped out a couple of times during the day. Volcom were in place with tents, music and free of charge sausages to all. Bomba Energy were on the spot with their own bar and a free Bomba to all throughout the day. When the clock turned 11 we started the registration, a good crow was already present for this year 's first railjam. Marcus Kleveland had taken the trip from Dombås to participate. More and more people arrived on the scene to compete and watch the railjam. The jam started at 12:00, the judges were handed the "secret trick" lists. On this list there were 14 different tricks. The rules for this part was simple: the first one to make the trick gets a prize. We also had prizes for the best overall girl, junior and senior.

The jam lasted for an hour which was filled with gnarly tricks and bails. Thomas Baxter proved that he is a railripper with smooth BS Lipslides and a lot of other tricks. Andreas Lona also demonstrated what he was capable of with nollie BS tailslides down the rail. Thea Foss impressed the crowd with a massive tailpress on the rail. We realized early that this would be a difficult job for judges. The Junior`s were on fire, Marcus Kleveland (age 11)! impressed the crowd with his stylish riding.

After an hour of jam the crowd and riders were ready for fun and games with Volcom. We did a darts contest with great prizes for all. The kids were filled to brim with sausages, energy drinks and stash. They were stoked!
After the darts competition, we did a Best Trick. Øystein Jacobsen AKA Jodd won the best trick with a huge 270 boardslide on the rail.
The day ended with a prize ceremony and giveaways. Thanks to all the participants, audience, Volcom, Electric, Sports Extreme, Response Distribution, Bomba Energy and “Coach” for this great event.

Lørdag 13. november dro Volcom sirkuset til Sport Extreme i Trondheim for å holde Volcom Sausagefest med en god gammeldags railjam. I forkant av dette arrangementet hadde Sport Extreme crewet laget tidenes rail oppsett med to rails og trapp.
Vi var heldige med været og solen tittet fram nå og da under hele dagen. Volcom stilte med telt, musikk og gratis pølser til alle. Bomba Energy stilte med egen bar og gratis Bomba til alle hele dagen.
Klokken 11 startet registreringen, allerede da var det en del folk som var klare for årets første railjam. Selveste Marcus Kleveland hadde tatt turen fra Dombås for å være med. Etter hvert som klokka gikk strømmet det på med både deltakere og tilskuere. Klokken 12 satte vi i gang jammen og dommerne fikk tildelt ”secret trick” listene. På disse listene var det hele 14 forskjellige triks. Reglene for denne delen av jammen var enkle: førstemann til å gjøre trikset får premie. I tilegg til denne ”secret trick” lista var det også kåring av dagen beste overall jente, senior og junior.
Jammen varte i en time, dette var en bra time med masse triks og bails. Thomas Baxter viste at han hadde funnet formen tidlig i år med nydelige BS Lipslides og masse andre råe triks. Andreas Lona viste også hva han var kar om med flere nollie BS tailslides ned railen. Thea Foss imponerte stort med en super smooth tailpress ned hele boxen. Det ble tidlig klart at dette skulle bli en vanskelig jobb for dommerne. Juniorene rippet også hardt, blant annet Sigurd Andersen og Marcus Kleveland dro på!
Etter en time med jam var det klart for fun and games i regi av Volcom. Her var det boccha- og dartkonkurranse, med masse premier til alle. Kidsa var fylt til randen med pølser, energidrikk og stash. Kan mildt sagt si at de var stoka.

Etter dart konkurranse var det klart for Best Trick. Her var det Øystein Jacobsen AKA Jodd som gikk av med seieren med en svær 270 boardslide på railen.
Dagen ble avsluttet med premieutdeling og giveaways. God stemning! Takk til deltakere, publikum, Volcom, Electric, Sport Extreme, Response Distribution, Bomba Energy og grillmester Coach for dette flotte arrangementet.

On Saturday the 11th of September we went to Kempten in the very south of Germany for another Sausagefest together with the 5ive Skateshop.
We started the barbeque at 1:30 pm about 150 kids where hungry for action and some good old BRATWURST.
We prepared the screen printing and the kids kept us busy over the course of the afternoon as nearly 150 Shirts were printed.

Our Family Teamriders Stefan Brenner and Antonio Aiello were with us to help keep the kids in check, throw down some action and hand out goodies for nice tricks. At the end of the day everyone was well fed and happy with a new handprinted Volcom Brand Jeans tee.

Check out the pictures

On wednesday August 4th, some pals met at La Magdalena Skatepark in Avilés for a Sausage Fest.

SAUSAGE FEST IN AVILES - SPAIN from Volcom Europe on Vimeo.

Lots of people from the area came to the event to hang out for a while. As this was a stop of a Volcom Skate Tour, we could enjoy watching the team skating.

Roberto Alemañ, Alain Goikoetxea, Mena, Dani López, David Sanchez and some special guests like Iñiguin, Saavedra, Osito, Cesar and some locals more. Good session and a great BBQ. Everyone ate what he wanted and at the end we gave away tons of goodies for the crowd.

Thanks to Emilio Arnanz, the Aviles council and the Magdalena Sports centre Crew. Ride on.

Some weeks ago we organized a sausage fest down at la Friche, the new streetpark of Marseille. The parks is situated between the train tracks an has a perfect setup, you can't get bored of this one!

We stayed 5 days more after to hit the streets, but the weather wasn't on our side most of the time, we got forced in to the futuristic halle de glisse for a day and where allowed to shred the well hidden concrete palace.

Definitely want to go back and explore Marseille a bit more in the nearby future. Check out this little clip to see what went down!

We did a little Sausage Fest at Sct. Annagade in Aarhus on Sunday July 11th.

The kids were stoked on all the free product, hot dogs, beer and soda.

Here's a few pics from the event.

Best regards,

Rune, and everyone at Pipeline

The first week of May saw nearly 300 industry folk and riders head from the UK to kaunertal Austria to shred, shoot and ogle next years gear at the annual UK snowboard test so we thought It would be only fair for us to feed everyone.

The morning was pretty grim, visibility was not that great and a few peeps were abit bummed out, but by midday the cloud had burn off and the sun had began to shine just into time to fire up the BBQ.

Few beers were drunk lots of laughs shared, good times had by all.

Thanks to Pez from taking the photos

Hi again For the second time in a week it was time for a SausageFest. This time we were back in Stockholm and local hill Hammarbybacken. Together with the Hollywood-shop and local snowboard club SSAK we invaded the hill on thursday night. The day of the infamous "SSAK-training-day"... Just before closing-time all riders met up by the tent and voted on "tonights ripper" who walked away with a bunch of Volcom gear, a Hollywood-skate and a pair of Electric goggles.

Hi all last weekend we went 1300 km up north to the small mining town Kiruna - home of shred-legends and longtime teamriders Björn Lindgren and Tomas "Knoddas" Johansson. The plan was to celebrate the opening of their new snowpark together with the kids and local shop "Enok". It was time for SausageFest!


A beautiful day in Kiruna. The worlds largest underground mine in the background.

Lot of kids showed up.

Last Saturday, we teamed up with our local apres-riding hangout SUPA, (Surfers Paradise) which happens to be the best snowboard store in all of St. Anton, to throw a little party for the local beer drinking and snowboarding community in Arlberg-Austria, home of the Volcom Euro snow team house.

The night before the 4pm kick off, we nearly emptied the local grocery store for sausages of all kinds, soft taco tortillas and I think 15 cases of beer, (but more would follow).

Since rumors of free beer travels faster than the speed of light in a ski town, every single member of the local poor and hurdled masses (and then some) were punctually banging on the shops door, at least an hour before kick off, while we were still doing our final pow turns. Will they ever in their entire lives be that punctual again?

If you've ever spent some time in a mountain resort without your head buried under the snow, then you're aware of the fact that free beer, free food and the lure of a potential encounter with members of the fairer sex, is as essential for survival in the snow as water and shelter from the sun is in the desert.

Then, there's not much else to say...The photos speak for themselves. The Australian and Swedish community came out in full force, pluss some lift crew and all the other usual suspects, blending in with ease with all the tourists.

Thanks to the fact we're in the middle of Swedish holidays weeks, a select lucky few got more than they bargained for, and by that I don' mean scoring some free Volcom gear in the compulsory product toss.

I'll give you a cue: Busloads of Swedish high school and college girls away from home on spring break + free alcohol = Needless to elaborate.

Assisted by the the best kick ass Rock playlist in town, and Volcom Classics The Garden and Subjekt Haakonsen screened inside the shop, the party lasted until long after late-nite dinner time and the last can of beer was drained.

We the organizers couldn't help but feel proud and honored for bringing some substance and direction in form of the above into so many people's lives... I almost shed a tear.

Big thanks to shop manager Wayne & his crew, the BBQ boys and everyone that came out...

See you again soon when the 5X5 photography exhibition, along with Gigi and Terje comes to town next month.

Last Sunday, the small oldschool resort, Les Prés d`Orvin (close to big city Bienne) was on fire! Over 60 Kids from the region showed up to destroy some rails and eat a lot! of sausages. We had no sun but perfect snow conditions and an unbelievable winter landscape. Once again a funny Sunday with good people who love to shred!

Thank you guys for coming!

Thanks to Gil and Crew (Pipeline Shop/ KOR) for the support.

Last weekend over 100 kids, parents, veterans and friends showed up to skate and grill with us. It was a nice and warm summer day under a bridge in the middle of Geneva. A bit later (due to a fun night) our two family riders Jan Hofer and Maxime Kathari dropped into the park to show the kids how to "destroy" (by skateboarding, of course) a skatepark.

We organised five different kind of skate games during the afternoon. The ledge champ, miniramp killer, tic-tac race, manual challenge and at the end of the day an old school trick workshop for the kids. The atmosphere was epic even some daddy's took the boards of the kids to show us theirs tricks from the past sessions back in the days. Every sausage was eaten, the kids were tired and everybody left the place with a smile.

Thanks to:
Everybody showed up for this epic session....Thank you kids! Jim from PULP68 for the local knowledge and game support, Fredo for grilling the sausages, Mat for the generator and Miki for her charming helping hand.

Mid September we went in Chelles (north of Paris) to one of the biggest indoor skate park in France, COSA NOSTRA SKATE PARK, where rumors said the brand new concrete bowl was really fun to skate.

Locals built it last winter/spring in front of the indoor park and we came by and run a big Barbecue on a sunny afternoon for everyone wanting to join for a skate sesh and get some Volcom goodies.

That was a great day, and I would like to thank a lot all the Cosa Nostra staff for their work and their good mood, and Chloe for her kid management!!!

Past July 17th, we met some daggers at L´Eliana skatepark in Valencia. The mission was easy: eat, drink and skate. We had to wait till 20:00 in the night to start with the party because it was soo hot outside!

For 'Go Skateboarding Day' this year we headed up to Harlow Skatepark for a session and squeezed the BBQ into the car, too. The local crew we're fully in attendance along with half of the Death Pro's, The Crossfire squad, some of the youngest kids I've seen with what you could call a trick bag and a good dose of the older generation who are clearly still shredding.

The day was amazing. Full on sunshine all day (Something to be truly thankful for in the UK!) and a session which would come in waves - although I suspect this has something to do with the timings of the food!

The park is really good fun. Lines and ideas seem to only be limited by talent - the way it should be.

Keep your eyes out. I reckon the BBQ will be making a few more appearances sometime soon.

Thanks to www.caughtinthecrossfire.com for providing the photos and video and getting in on the session. Rob from http://www.harlowskatepark.blogspot.com/ hooked us up with the sequences, too. Cheers Rob!
