REUTLINGEN DOWNHILL
Reutlingen
How many member are in the crew?
The actual number of riders is really hard to determine. It´s just a bunch of guys riding together. Some come, some go...
Here are just a few names:
Heiko Baron, Thomas Walker, Moritz Schiemer, Michael Tongern, Nico Gutmann, Konstantinos Chimonidis, Marc Landmann, Filadelfo Marino, Elisa Bässler, Didier Bengsch aka AxBreaker...
​
What does your crew name mean?
We name ourselves “Reutlingen Downhill” after the City Reutlingen most of us live in.
We also love playing games with the name, e.g. “Riotlington Downhill”. “ton” comes from the movie Straight outta Compton and “Riot” stands by itself ;-
​
How long have u been skating together? How did everything start?
Everything started back in 2012 or so when some guys started skating together. Since then the crew got bigger year by year. We also offer a cruising tour every tuesday during summer. Normally first the people come around to join the cruising tour and then get addicted to Downhill/ Freeride.

Whats your favourite spot to skate and chill ?
We have some very different spots in the area due to we live next to the Swabian Alb which is a low mountain range. We also join some small sliding spots for practicing standup slides and chilling.
​
Do you normally do skate trips (non events related)? Which one is the best for you?
Yes, we do! We catch up with friends, e.g. the guys from King Lui in Bavaria
​
Any really wanted trips for the future?
Hooking up with the Vosges in France.
​
Have you been with the whole crew to any big Event? Which one is the best for you?
We try to catch up with every event which is reachable by car. We love the Bigmoutainskate events like Alpenrauschen and KNK also the little events which are just a bit more familiar. The last event the whole crew came together was the Großerlach Freeride organized by Amir Djamali. This event was just around the corner and very very familiar.
​
Anything else that you wanna share with our readers?
Spread the stoke and when you are in our area just come around! We also have a nice skatepark in the city center of Reutlingen.
​
We just started this new project, I hope you have been checking out All Year Long site, what do you think about it? www.allyearlongboard.com
It's a very good thing for the community and it's easy to get the information what is going on in the Longboard (Downhill) world.
