    Default Indoor sinterklaas contest

    In holland Sinterklaas comes before christmas. We don't believe in santa but in Sinterklaas. So last weekend we had the indoor under 15 championchips with a skating sinterklaas and his little helpers. Black Piets.

    Not much longboarders (most too young to know what a longboard is) but fun annyway.

    Movie is uploading. Will follow

    they are called " zwarte pieten", which means something like "black petes"... they're not clowns, story goes a little something like this: sinterklaas needed help to get all the children gifts, so he got some people out of africa to work for him! and now they all live in Spain...
    hows that for an insane story huh?

    HAHAHA, no disrespect with the laughter... but a few years back, my Spanish teacher in school was from Aruba. He taught us all about it and that stuff still cracks me up, he was the weirdest guy ever.

    Haha I'm from Aruba, and i did not expect to see skating "piets" anywhere. But it looks cool.
    And i always thought that those piet dudes were dirty from climbing into chimneys to bring the kids presents. Whenever I saw them as a kid, you could see white parts of their skin because they (later i found out) are wearing face paint. As a kid i saw that and figured that these guys are not black, but simply very dirty.

    Anyways, it all made sense in my head haha
