Locle Ness Monster DIY skatepark – Switzerland

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.

Saint Jean de Maurienne DIY – French Alps

In 2018, the YCM crew was already more experienced, so we built even more, including a mini version of the Hirschgarten pool, a bowl, and the now famous Hell’s gate: 3,25m high with over 60cm of vert, all hand stacked (never again !).
