Malmö ­ 
The first Etnies European Open 2002 was a real success. There had
never been so many spectators and skateboarders in Malmo before. ³This is
not a furniture² was David Luthers favourite sentence at the Bryggeriet
skatepark last weekend, when he tried to clear the obstacles from the crowd.
Nevertheless, Jurgen Horrwarth paved his way through, won Street and got
second in Vert.

176 skateboarder competed three days ­ 142 in Street, 26 in Vert and 7 in
the Girls Jam. They came from all over the world: Germany, Norway, Sweden,
France, Denmark, England, USA, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy,
Czech Republic, Austria and Switzerland.

Stefan Lehnert from Germany got third after the final in Street on Sunday,
second Florentin Marfaing from germany, too, and as said before Jurgen
Horrwarth reserved the first place.

Terence Bougdour from France saved his third place in Vert, Jurgen Horrwarth
got second and Jussi Korhonen from Finland went home with the first place.

Giorgio Zattoni from Italy got hurt in the Vert finals, skated the best
trick contest and won it with a Varial Mc Twist with a broken wrist.

The 18 year old Louise Menke from the Netherlands won the Girls Jam that
took place on Sunday. Louise clocked her 45 seconds for tricks like crocked
grind, boardslideflip, ollie over the pyramide, bsKickflip over the hip or
Kickflip fakie. With no doubt she is the best female skateboarder in Europe
right now. Second got Catarina Sterner from Sweden and Ninnie Perraud from
Norway shared her happiness about her third place with all the others.

On Monday everybody went to the Alis Open Wonderland to Copenhagen. After a
couple of hours Bowl Skateboarding Michael Jensen from Denmark not only
saved his first place, he also won the Best Trick Contest with a kickflip
blunt kickflip out. Second got Christian Brox from Norway and third Nicky
Dean Guerrero from Denmark who has been skating for 25 years now.
