Wörgl DIY – opening party – Tyrol, Austria

After 13 years of pouring concrete #wörgldiy finally held it’s official opening party. Over a decade in the making one of Europe’s largest DIY skateparks celebrates with a real skateboard party: Volcom brought their riders to the Austrian alps, there were €2000 for best trick sessions in different areas of the park and the most outstanding tricks were awarded with special trophies by Independent Trucks.

Cold beer and BBQ during the day as well as a live concert right at the skatepark in the evening round up the event. And as if having a great time wasn’t reason enough to be there, the whole fun and games even served a good cause: all revenues at the bar went to the children’s cancer aid!

Al Partanen. Krooked grind to fakie.

Pura Pura, Bolivia – Un, Dos, Tres, Concrete!

The park is sick. Well most of us left before we got to see it all completed which was a little disheartening, but what was there was rad. The floor is a bit ghetto in places and, in contrast, some of the ramps are professional enough to be seen on a actual official skatepark build – this kind of sums up the entire build: somewhere between a skatepark and doing a DIY job.
