Behind the scenes: DK Euro trip. A few funny, random and weird photos…

DK has been all over the globe this year. The latest and greatest adventure was Northern Europe and it was nothing short of just that, an adventure.

The crew consisted of catfish, nina, hunt, maddog and myself. We started in Copenhagen, Denmark and ventured through Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany en route to one of the greatest  (and rainy) BMX events of the year, The Worlds in Cologne.

Harold was our mascot, leader, GPS navigator, coach, friend and cheerleader on the trip. He always pointed us in the right direction. Although he lacks some hair and limbs, he was always on our side. Here he shows us Denmarks version of Clean Coal Technology. Where are the smokestacks?

When Harold wasn’t using his curling iron, we took time to charge up our gadgets. We could have used your help and expertise on this one Harold.

What better way to cool down after a warm swedish skatepark session than to take a dive into the ocean. Here B Hunt and I break the law as Harold is off getting a cup of coffee and some swedish meatballs.

Gift shops were frequented on the trip but leave it to Amsterdam to have the best ones. This gem was nestled between some wooden shoes and a glass windmill. I don’t know why I chose the wooden shoes…

I’ve always appreciated a good mustache but this guy took it to the next level. I was sitting a table in Cologne and turned around to witness this. A random mustache grower mid-groom. Good style and execution.

This one isn’t so funny but noteworthy. This difficult but unique sculpture took me off my bike and into the hospital. A good number of stitches inside and out was the result. The hospital in the Netherlands was dialed and I was in and out quick with no cost. What’s funny is that I contacted some doctors here in the U.S. when I got home and no one would take them out because of liability. I guess they can’t remove them if they didn’t put them in? Something is wrong here. I guess I have to take matters into my own hands once again.

I dubbed this my “dream car” (is it even a car?). It’s not a Bentley or a Lambo. This 3 wheeled wonder was at the Worlds in Cologne. It’s basically a tuk-tuk that opens up to be a full espresso/coffee bar. What would Henry Ford think of this? Genius.

I have to admit that my camera didn’t capture even half of the laugh-worthy moments on this trip but thanks for reading and thanks to DK and everyone (yes, even you Harold) who made this trip amazingly super awesome. Web videos from the trip coming to a computer near you soon…

Love,
