    Default Skimboarding on national television

    I didn't see this before, so...

    This was on the national television, shot during the holland skim jam. It was the first stop of the dutch skimboard tour.

    no one has fun with shitty conditions as on that day.. if it wasn't for the contest none of those guys would have been skimming..
    the thing is that NL does get decent fun days... when posting crap like this its just bad imho
