Tranzport – Geneva

After Lyon, the tour rolled into Geneva - and instead of heading home, Tom Penny decided to keep the momentum going and join the rest of the trip, which is always a blessing.

After train delays to the city and meeting up with Ollie Weismantel - who was joining us for this leg of the tour - the first stop was Tranzport Skateshop, where we shook hands, signed posters and linked up with the locals to kick off the day.

From there, everyone headed to Plainpalais Skatepark for the main session. To mark the occasion, a local even built a custom TJ Rogers–branded ledge, which instantly became the centerpiece of the day.

The atmosphere was on point - skating, hanging, and even a tattoo stand set up on site. Tom jumped in for a couple of sessions, and Ollie Weismantel came through as well, putting in work and destroying the new TJ ledge.

Big thanks to the Tranzport crew, skate.ch, the locals, and everyone who made the Geneva stop happen. Next Up: Munich.
