UNO DIY – Melbourne, Australia

The UNO ghetto, a random thought that quickly turned into a reality, masterminded by Ben Hermans.

With a lot of hard work from all the homies, an abandoned lot within the northern suburbs of Melbourne, containing most resources that were required, was quickly cleaned and concreted within two weeks.

Once finished, word quickly spread throughout the Melbourne skateboarding community and still continues to be a regular skate spot for most crews.

Originally beginning as a skateboarding video started by Louie Dodd, three friends (James, Ben and Louie) quickly turned the name ‘UNO‘ into their creative outlet, after realizing Melbourne’s lack of local skateboarding brands.
