Last October 11th, the Tournament took place, organized by Cruzade skateboards and the guys from Ramputene DIY, the venue where it was held. For those of you who know the Tournament, it’s not easy to explain… Pure skating, a lot of hype, tricks and more tricks, laughter and more laughter… The Tournament is held to raise money to buy cement for the DIY shop itself, and above all, to get together and have a great skating session….
Fresh eyes soaked in views from a top painted DIY ramps, molded perfectly by anti-idol hands. There, sprawled out before us, was FDR’s fifteenth annual “Sober vs. Wasted” event.

We first approached the city council with a skate-urbanism approach – we asked for permission to improve a spot we had been riding since the late 1980s: a schoolyard with a nice sidewalk with a perfectly flat surface and behind the school, a thirty-meter-long covered passageway with a concrete floor. This is where we requested permission to build a skatepark.
When I chatted to Tim Hazelton about how he managed to get a slice of paradise with a vert ramp on it, he said that he’d discovered the ramp at Greys online. He purchased it and got a crane driver mate to pick it up and drop it off onto this plot of land he had in Airlie Beach…
The goal was to organize something simple and within our means. So we planned a day full of skating at the spot, stuff for tricks, a flea market, tattoos, drinks, and food — as the foundation for a get-together to celebrate this silly little culture of ours.
Reunion is an island in the Indian ocean next to Madagascar, which is part of France. Antiz crew took a trip there and this is what they discovered…
