Volcom Indonesia Skate Team in IOXC Makassar


It’s the 3rd IOXC (Indonesia Open Xtreme Championship), this time is Makassar’s turn to host the most long awaited decent extreme competition after hiatus for quite a while. As an open competition, the event was also flooded with athlete from Asian region to compete with Indonesian local athlete.

Volcom Indonesia team set foot in Makassar the day before the competition. Indra Leonardo, Domdom, Mario Palandeng, Genta, Ryan, and Rino, also an extra athlete Rodi Munzel of Germany join the Volcom army as we marched in Makassar.


The boys were really in good mood and skate the whole day for practice before the real competition begins the next day. As the competition rolls, the contestants were narrowed down to 15 finalists. And the Volcom boys sure did take part of the final day, nice runs for Domdom, Indra Leonardo and Mario as they progress to final.




In the final were down to the best 15 skateboard athletes, a rough competition for some. Being the best isn’t easy after all, but Domdom beat the rest although it was only for second place on the podium. He went home with 9 million rupiah (US$900) and a big smile on his face that probably will lasts for a week. Congrats buddy and viva la Volcom!
