The Vocal BMX guys recently got their crew together for a bit of a European road trip, taking in skateparks and shop stops in Belgium and Luxembourg. With the lineup of Harry Main, Chris Nicol, Jack Clark and Ash Douglas, you know the skateparks of these countries got a good seeing to. As you’d expect, there are some wild spots and lots of tricks… That’s what you get with a crew like this.

From Harry’s cranked turndowns and flair moves to Nicol’s insane nosepress skills, from Ash’s miniramp destruction to Jack’s ability to shred anything, there’s plenty in here worth celebrating. We also get to see a bit of the vibe of the trip when the team stopped off to hang out with locals at skateparks and shops, and it seems like the atmosphere was good and lively!

Among others, the squad hit up Antwerp’s insane skatepark, some mad ghetto indoor spot, a rad-looking DIY concrete park, and two GEMS in Luxembourg. Hit play and check out what went down…

“On 2nd August we embarked on a road trip across Belgium & Luxembourg with Harry Main, Ash Douglas, Chris Nicol & Jack Clark. With no idea of weather, quality of skatepark or how things would run we somewhat received the long straw. Short spells in prison, red light districts, broken jaws, crazy kids & copious amount of alcohol seemed not to effect how much fun we had riding every crazy skatepark we hit.

Thanks to everyone that came out, said hello, rode with us, jumped in a thorn bush for a free T-shirt (that would later be stolen anyway), and generally made our time across the channel fantastic.” –Luke Rance
