POWIŚLE DIY – Warsaw, Poland

POWIŚLE DIY is located in an old building abandoned for twenty years near the center of Warsaw. Construction was started by three people and then quickly more people joined to work and to raise more money for the materials. The spot is totally illegal but we have tacit approval from the city and the police so we can expand the spot and enjoy the ride!

Consolidated in Baja

Steve Bailey and Roberto Alemañ head down to Baja with Leticia and hit up some backyard pools, have a run in with corrupt police, ride horses, drink margaritas, and have some good times…

DIY Skateplaza Resthof Steyr – Upper Austria

The Skateboard Plaza Resthof, located in steyr/upper-austria, was created during the year 2012 by local skateboarders and friends. Our main goal was to create skateboard ramps which fit our needs.

Herzblut at the Beauty DIY – Zürich, Switzerland

The Beauty is our winter spot. Rough, cold and dusty. Sketchy trannies and more then often some gravel in the corners. It’s located in a wonderful squat called “Autnomous Beauty Salon” in Zurich. We built it after we finished the Beast as a nice winter option.

Coping Mechanism – Phil Evans’ documentary about Malmö, skateboarding and concrete

Phil Evans came to Malmö with his super8 camera about seven years ago and he has burned several miles of film on the subject since then. In many of Phil’s movies there has been a connection to Malmö in one way or another so it was inevitable that Phil was going to make a full length movie about the skate scene in Malmö.

Gathering of the tribes – Baum’s Birthday – Mr. Wilson Skate hall

Whether it be skateboarding, building skateparks, or partying, Baum goes all in – at least 100%. When I heard about Baum’s party taking place at the Mr. Wilson skate hall, the only indoor concrete bowl in Germany, I knew this was an occasion not to be missed.

Santeri Kulmala - Fs rock n roll @ Ruoke DIY. (Before the renovation)

Ruoke DIY – Finland

The spot is about 10 km from Jyvaskyla, near Ruoke village in the middle of nowhere on this abandoned highway stop. Those barriers have been there for ages and we all have had our eyes on them for years. Two years ago Ville and few other guys started this spot by doing a small concrete tranny to make one of those barriers skateable

Danger Dave and the fire.

Ramp Jam 5 – Belgium

Koekie and the Knock Out Blocks crew put on their annual RAMP JAM in the countryside about 30 minutes from Antwerp, Beligum. The recipe the year is always the same: punk and hardcore bands, a sketchy ramp with as many gnarly features as possible, cheap beers, mayhem and destruction.

Brahm has been ripping Derby for decades. Noseblunt slide over the hip, before most.

Weekend at Derby – Santa Cruz, California

Derby Park is one of the oldest surviving public skateparks in North America. Built in the late 70s by Ken Wormhoudt, the park was controversially rebuilt mid 2012 because city officials felt the “timeworn curves and slopes of Derby had become too dangerous to allow.”
