Vor circa einem Monat begann eine kleine Gruppe von ein paar Hundert Menschen auf dem New Yorker Liberty Plaza mit ihren Occupy Wall Street Protesten, die ihren bisherigen Höhepunkt letztes Wochenende fanden, als auf dem ganzen Globus Tausende von Menschen auf die Straßen gegangen sind – so natürlich auch und gerade bei uns in Frankfurt -, um ihrer Wut auf das aktuelle Finanzsystem und die dadurch entstehenden Ungerechtigkeiten Ausdruck zu verleihen. Korrigiert mich, wenn ich falsch liege, aber das ist wohl erstmalig, dass Proteste dieses große weltweite Ausmaß erreicht haben! Sogar unter Prominenten und Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern – darunter auch ein Nobelpreisträger – haben sich schon Sympathisanten gefunden, zu denen man auch den siebtreichsten Menschen der Erde zählen kann.
Good Day Peepz,
Another day in the world of RUNFFM and crew.
First we had to meet up with our screenprinter so we were able to clear up some details and we are already working on some new stuff.
Afterwards we were on the way to meet up with Rodney who is currently visiting from New York make sure to check out Juntos Worldwide its his online project about backpacking / travelling.
Explaining some of our future projects, discussing things etc.
I thought that was a really dope car, I am by no means a car enthusiast but I appreciate good design and since you dont see a classic Mercedes like that very often anymore I had to snap a picture of it.
Next stop, the guys from the freeline skate community in Frankfurt aka Team FFM. Make sure to look out for them I think they are the very first freeline skater team from Frankfurt.
Rodney also took some amazing interviews with them I will post the videos online once they are availible which may take a bit until Rodney finished editing them back in NY.
Even national TV station RTL got interested in freeline skating and they were having interviews with everyone involved, they asked us to give an interview since they wanted an outsiders opinion.
Brian of Team FFM helping Andi balance on the freeline skates.
Andi performing, this doesn’t look too easy. (Note by Andi: Nope, it isn’t. But a whole lot of fun! Thanks to Brian for his help!!)
Stefan of Team FFM showing his freeline skates, you can personalize them by spraypainting them or putting different color wheels on them to give them a little twist.
Shoutouts to TEAM FFM they did some amazing stuff on those freeline skates I am still amazed, they might have started a new trend this summer!
Check out their facebook page for more info on where they usually meet up.
What do you think?
Of course no day is complete with some….
BUBBLE TEA!!

Big shoutout to Flo aka Bunnypop who is our graphic design chief guy ;) He makes some cool artwork go check out his website.
Hey everyone today I went out to meet up with Rodney from New York City who is currently on a trip around Europe and came to Frankfurt am Main to visit.
We randomly met in Tokyo last year at the hostel and we checked out the big Gundam in Tokyo together.
We decided to hit up a few places in the city and I wanted to show him around a little bit and take some videos and pictures for his travel site called “Juntos Worldwide” , you should go and check it out it is a really cool website with interesting content especially if you are into backpacking.
We met up at this hostel in Frankfurt called the Five Elements Hostel (Moselstr. 40) its really close to the Mainstation (Frankfurt Hauptbhf) and easy to find aswell, first impression was decent and Rodney told me that the rooms look very clean and nice aswell. Maybe something to recommend if you are staying in Frankfurt!? Here are some pictures I took while I was waiting downstairs.
Today also another really cool shop just opened around the corner on Münchenerstraße 40, its called Cha-kka.
If you have been to any parts in Asia you might be familiar with this, they sell a drink called “Bubble Tea” , you might ask yourself whats that!?, well you should just go there and try it!! trust me its goooood! Its basically black milk tea or fresh green tea mixed with different flavours and you can choose from different Tapioka pearls as a topping which is some kind of “jelly-ish” stuff.
Also a big shoutout goes out to the owner of the shop for letting us get the free drink, we just didnt notice that they were giving out free cups to everyone in line!!
Really cool of them and I’ll definitely drop by everytime I am in the area to get me some Bubble Tea now, count on that I’m already addicted haha.
The place was packed too! People love Bubble Tea!
They are also sponsoring this next big party organized by Dynasty-Events which is going to be on a cruise ship on the Main river in Frankfurt. Find out more about that right here ->click<-.
Alright after getting our sugar levels up we had to go and grab some gooood Currywurst and by gooood I mean really hot hot spicy Currywurst at no other place than “Best Worscht in Town”.
Rodney did an interview with one of the guys working there for his website make sure to also follow him on his twitter account @JuntosWorldWide.
The video will be uploaded to his website as soon as he got the editing done so the best thing you can do is bookmark his website and check for twitter updates.
Look at the table, this is how it looks like if you are a real gadget-head HD camcorder, DSLR camera, smartphone and a really cool Lomography Diana F camera.
Always prepared to give you some really cool coverage from all over the world.
This kinda reminded me of Castlevania lol yeah I know (…).
Heres another really cool gadget that Rodney was carrying around at all times, its some kind of GPS-Tracker that helps you geotag your photos so you could have google maps etc. showing you the exact
position of where you have taken a picture and helps people to find pictures that were taken in Frankfurt for example. Pretty cool feature, have you tried this too!? I know some cameras have that feature build right in.
Well nothing is complete without a real Ebbelwoi, before we called it a day we hit up this place after walking around for about 5 hours.
Hope you guys still enjoy reading our blog I thought I’ll just drop in some of those photowalk posts from time to time, hit me up on twitter too.
Oh and before I forget big thanks to Rodney for this really awesome T-Shirt!!! Wu-Tang forever!
