This weekend Oct 13.-14., Vans and Monster invite the 12 qualifying skate shop teams from Europe & The Mid-East to the 2012 Shop Riot Finals at Münster’s Skaters Palace. Local Shop Riot battles went down in Germany, UK, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands & Luxemburg, Poland, Portugal, France and Israel. Each local country final is sending their best team to this weekend’s event.

Every team that qualified gets an all-expense paid trip to the 2-day finals, where they will skate for a slice of the 5000 Euro prize purse and the task of hosting a photo dude and a filmer guy from Kingpin in their hometown for a week. The hard work will pay off as a print article and a web edit right here.
