After a session at the new Bradenton park a local asked, “You want to skate a boat hull?” A short ride later we arrived at the nearby industrial park to find the “hull” is actually a mold with a huge open seam running the length of it. – Ken Forsyth
10th ANNIVERSARY of VANS RUMBLE IN THE PARK 2013

Presented by VANS and 5BORO.
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 2 weeks.
“There was just one session on the indoor mini ramp at Pumpa because outside it was raining so we couldn’t skate the bowl. There were different artists selling art, photos, zines, cds, lps and other things. We sold them to collect money for buying new concrete. That’s it!” – Deso / R.O.W.
Everybody needs a place to call their own, and it sure helps if that place has pool coping. Getting a private indoor setup together is a giant pain in the ass, but the reward of skating a place that’s exactly what you want to skate is unbeatable. All I can say is- if you’re thinking about it, just go for it; its a lot to do but you’ll figure it out.
Some friends joined us to skate Ceramica, to have a good time and help us with some money for more concrete.
On my way to Barcelona to infiltrate as a double agent: working for a big multinational as an artist and at the same time working as photojournalist for this almighty underground skateboard magazine. Self-portrait taken inside the train bathroom. Fuck airports and their tight-ass regulations. In the train I can bring a pair of big scissors, a knife, a skateboard and lots and lots of liquids.
OK, destroy our work – fuck you! Than we build it in another place, but even bigger.
