I asked Bibiche to share her thoughts on what Winterclash means to her and a few words about her Polaroid view.

**********************************************

“For me winterclash is getting together with my family and friends. I love to see everyone again and make new friends.

I made a lot of pictures of my friends but also a couple of the vollunteers and of course of Jojo. This was my 4th year of volluntering and I enjoy doing it. Winterclash for me is a happy place and memory that I don’t want to end!”

“The polaroid with confetti I like a lot because it looks like a fun ending. I like the Joe Atkinsons’ because they made a tradition.”

“Oh and the one you see with the rollin is when they were doing flips again haha. Also the Locoskates shop is amazing with the neon sign.”

“THIS IS DEDICATED TO THE TRUE STREET BLADERS THAT ARE GOING OUT WRECKING SHOP.”

I’ve got to start by asking about the title, SOBER…. Care to elaborate on that? That’s hard to answer. It’s extremely ironic, being as though the majority of the video was filmed, and skated, under the influence of Holstens and piff. And a whole fucking lot of Holstens at that.…

So this year I was lucky enough to go to the biggest festival in Denmark, Roskilde. If you’ve been following me on Instagram you will have seen my ‘post a day’ while at Roskilde. I did this to encourage me to take pictures during my 10 days st the festival so i could 1. Write about it from pictures and 2. Remember what happened each day. After day 4 it all started to get a little blury….

My first blog post since I started travelling. After spending a week in Malaga getting familiar to the Spanish life my mini tour started this week, first stop Barcelona.

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know that I’ve just come back from a healthy 9 days away in one of south of Spain’s little treats, Malaga! 

A few months ago I found an old Pentax film camera in the charity shop for about £6 which inspired me to start a new hobby. It’s been an interesting learning curve going from relying on a HD manual iPhone 6+ camera, I couldn’t stop looking at the back…
