Consolidated during the first confinement, XL originated in the most Brussels way possible. The skaters had common friends and ended up skating into each other quite often. From there on, a group chat was created in order to organise sessions. Finally, the guys decided to leave for Rotterdam for their first skate trip and part, which is where XL was really born.
For the (aspiring) skateboarders that currently reside in Brussels or are planning to come visit, XL let me know that their favourite spots are Place Morichar, Trône and Skate café. Each spot is a perfect example of the Brussels skate community where advice, beers, and more is constantly being shared. Obviously, since it’s Brussels, all of these spots are free and open to everybody – even those who don’t skate and just want to chill. The XL crew precises that they have also scouted the ULB campus where they have found an abundance of little spots to skate on as well.
