This year's locations will be Munich, Germany, Paris, France and Rome, Italy. Over the last couple of years the Etnies European Opens have expanded to become one of the leading skateboard events in Europe. To prove this point - the Munich event alone had more than 200 competitors last year.
Every Stop of the Etnies European Open features the Push Girls' Jam. The first girls' jam ever happened at the Etnies European Open in 2002 in Malmö, Sweden, where 6 brave girls competed. Meanwhile the number of female skateboarders is growing and therefore the girls have their own jam session at the Etnies European Open contests.

Street only
Munich is the first stop of the Etnies European Open. For the 9th time in a row, the Etnies European Open are taking place in the ice-skating warm-up hall of the Olympic area. IOU is already working on an excellent street course, which integrates this years' topic - and what else could it be but "football".
Please check www.IOU-ramps.com for updates.
This year, Munich is just a three days event and due to the enormous amount of skateboarders competing, the spots in the pre-qualifications have been limited to 100 competitors.
