On January 19th of this year, almost a thousand special guests from all around the globe came to Berlin’s LIDO Club to witness BESA (Bright European Skateboard Awards). The fifth annual event went off without a hitch, with every legend of European skateboarding in one place to be appreciated for the hard work they put into the scenes around the EU; that’s skaters, filmers, photographers, brand managers and artists.
Vans, Red Bull, Budweiser, Skate-Aid, Nixon, and Free Skateboard Magazine supported BESA this year..
