In summer 2023, I wanted to make an edit at this amazing skatepark in Ghent, Belgium. I had been living in that city for almost 2 years and I was moving away. I wanted to remember the good times I had there, so making an edit was the perfect way to do this. I really enjoyed this park and met some lovely people there.

Thanks a lot to the Rolling Raptor for the four days of filming and making this edit! Capturing the smiles in the sunny weather was a lot of fun. And thanks a lot to the Faction Skate Company for the amazing skates and the support! - Aniek Kerkhofs.

Note: Pour Bruxelles (“for Brussels”, in French) is a section released in 2020 by Jan Delbaere. I can’t believe I missed this gem at the time.

Gilles Buelens is dedicating this section to the underground blading scene of Brussels. Home of legends like Stephane Mosselmans, Remy Meister, Bruno Willemarck. Because if it wasn’t for them, he would not be skating on the level he is now. Filmed in Greece and Belgium. Filmed and Edited By Jan Delbaere.

Yuri Debouvry is an incredibly talented skater. This footage show some of the craziest things he has ever done in the streets. It was a time were being young and fearless went hand in hand with the love for hammer skating. Yuri slowed down after some injuries and has a career in teaching circus and acrobatics. - Jan Delbaere.

5th edition of the Street Republique Contest – Belgium Edition (Liège) - Girls & Men Competition. Featuring: Julien Cudot, Antony Pottier, Frederic Bukowski, Diako Diaby, Arnaud Gillet, Pierre Saporta, Armelle Tisler, Carla Pasquinelli pasquinelli and more! Filmed & edited by Kevin Ciman.

After a year’s break, here is the coming back of the Street Republique event, 5th edition, relocated to Battice, near Liège in Belgium. The park features a brand-new spot, the DIY SNAKE PARK.

The DIY Snake Park was born in 2022 on the site of a former SNCB station. Antony Pottier, and the local riders’ collective in Herve began building a new riding area. It now features spots that would never have been imaginable to ride. The @snakeparkdiy features rails that turn, go up and down, a chain, slide bars on springs… Super-fun kinks and curves on rails, each as surprising as the next one. But the park isn’t even finished yet! For the contest, we’re building 3 new spots that will be used to chose the best rider on the day. We’re more than sure that the spot will allow you to express your creativity to the fullest. More Photos on Lastreetrepublique.fr.

I would like to share a profile video where I combine some circus with more technical inline skating skills in a humorous way that is entertaining for all kind of disciplines, not only inline skating. I used a Hungarian based song (Hungarian Dance no.5 covered by Martynas) because I’m half Hungarian half Belgian and everything is filmed in Hungary and Belgium. I’ve added credits in the end to say thanks to a lot of people that were meaningfull to me in the past years. Hope you enjoy this! - Dennis Van Stappen.
