TOURNEE GENERAL!, Skate tour Belgium 2021
"When you go on a trip somewhere, you subconsciously think
of all the stereotypical postcard landscapes or monuments
strongly tied up to its identity. Belgium is very often visually
linked to the Manneken Pis, but when I arrived in front of it for
the first time, I had a little giggle. Not a giggle of mockery or
disappointment, on the contrary. It was a giggle of
appreciation for Belgium's humoristic mentality, the hype of
this majestic statue that is actually the size of my cat, with all
the pride that comes with it.
Other Belgian stereotypes are beer and fries, but this time,
you really get what you expect. And with the local legends that
we had the chance to encounter during the whole trip, the
van-temperature-warm Jupiler cans from below the seats
always tasted like the crispy freshest beer you could ever
imagine chugging down your throat." Oliv Gittler
