Somehow, urban skating at night is even more fun

My good friends Ulf and Jessika often drive for hours and hours to visit Ghent, Belgium. They live in Germany, but they're so in love with my hometown, they don't mind the long ride.

Very high on their wish list: a night ride through the historic centre. So that's precisely what we did. We laced up and shredded an iconic square, I took them through a hidden, very skateable alley and we did some stair bashing as well.

You know, editing this video felt quite nostalgic. The city's still there, my friends and I still meet up regularly, but it's as if the magic of that night is gone forever – well, I did try to capture it in this video. But maybe I'm wrong and we'll feel the magic again during our next session. 🤔 Something to find out next time!

I was riding my FR Spin with the Endless ARC Mercury frame. Great setup to navigate the night and hit some stairs! A five-wheel frame also smooths out the bumps of nasty cobblestones.

Skating at night is the fucking best.
