From Geneva, the TJ Rogers World Tour headed straight into Germany. After a much needed late lunch, we headed out for the Theresienwiese Park. This spot is so much fun - a combination of ledges, flat bars and a bank running along one side. There has also been some local DIY work done to the jersey barriers there, making them skate able.
Despite still dealing with his injury, TJ was in full effect - taking charge as host to the event, hanging with the crowd, signing, and making sure everyone who came through felt part of the day.

Tom Penny signed his Mushroom Flip deck
We had lots of folks turn up with copies of the Flip Skateboards ‘Sorry’ video to have Tom Penny sign it for them. Something most people would have never thought possible back when that video dropped and a Tom sighting was rarer than finding hens teeth.
Shirts, skateboards and more were given away for tricks going down. Some wild ideas and some just plain banging ledge tech meant the mix kept us all bouncing around.
The highlight was not only seeing everyone - from young kids to longtime heads - share the space and the session, but also having Tom get so into it that he joined in all afternoon, filming lines and throwing himself at all the park had to offer.

Post-event, we ended up with a good dose of the party squad join us as we headed for dinner. Tom even hit up a fun stair set (With the worst cracks on the run up) en route to the restaurant, switch frontside ollieing and kick flipping them just for the hell of it.
Huge thanks to Irregular Magazine for making it happen and to all the locals who showed up and made Munich a hell of a lot of fun for us all.
