Xmas Skarty at Zach Cusano’s

The skarty was to celebrate the ramp finally being layered in skatelite after only having a plywood layer for the six years since it has been built. Also, I was home for Christmas so we made a holiday party out of it. Rippers from New York, New Jersey, and Pensylvania all came out and destroyed….

Osthafen Skatepark – Frankfurt, Germany

The Osthafen Skatepark is really big. The shape of the transitions and other concrete obstacles are nearly perfect. The first time you go there you have to try to explore all the possibilities the park has to offer, because there’s so much to handle. The right side of the park is simliar to a street plaza: curbs, rails, banks, hips, gaps and china banks. The obstacles on the street section are really low and not too good to skate.
On the left side you find a bowl land scape. If you spend some time testing the lines with your hands, you’ll find the flow. There is something for everyone. In the back part, there is a bowl with a loveseat and a corner which has pool coping. In the front part there is another bowl with a full pipe with a similar corner, on the opposite side is a big bank. And don’t forget to hit up the volcano, there you can end the day nicely.
