A Glimpse Into Thomas Campbell’s World and the Making of YI-WO

YI-WO is a prayer, a habitual ritualistic gaze into the depths of the vast unknowable. YI-WO is a celebration of very purposely selected forms of the connective water sliding pursuits. It’s a poem, a place to be or not to be untangled. A space for your time, to possibly honor the practice, this existence and the paths potential dimensional expansive qualities.

Wildbowl – End of Season Jam – Italy – 2025

The annual Wildbowl party went down as the official end-of-summer jam, and it was straight-up atomic… skaters showed up not only from all over Italy but also from across Europe.

Trukentroef 2025 – Ramses Bowl – Vorselaar, Belgium

In the pouring rain, we set up the tents and prayed that the weather gods would still be kind to us that day… fortunately, our prayers were heard, and the sun broke through around noon.

Locle Ness Monster DIY skatepark – Switzerland

Haters will say another last Beast Feast has been ruined by rain. We say, no one can handle water as well as us. Bold statement you reckon? Well, you should ask the 12,000 person rave to us. They drowned while we were dancing in the mud to Suicide Catdoors…

Aloha DIY secret spot – South France

For the expansion of the spot since the year before with crews from @beaulieudiy, @barbecuediy, and the guys from St. Jean de Maurienne (skate&create) the place is a private spot where events will be organized every year…

Team Trouble 2025 – Laax, Switzerland
