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.

In September of 2010 Richmond DIY’ers lead with the concrete skills of Bernie Mcgrew took it into their own hands to finally build for the skaters of Richmond, VA a city with no skatepark. Starting with an 8 foot (2.4 meter) deep kidney swimmer bowl, the Lost Bowl now boasts a lot of other tranny around the decks of the bowl. The Lost Bowl continues to expand with the help of tons of skaters from RVA and there is no stop foreseen in the near future.
Last year on 9/11 I took the train to Liege, Belgium, the closest place ILEGAL were playing on their seven week tour across Europe. Forming in Montreal, Canada, all the members of this raw punk / hardcore band were “illegal immigrants” except for the bassist. Locio, the singer, is from Mexico. Johnne, the drummer is from Finland. Simon, the guitarist is from England/USA, leaving the bassist, Jason, as the only legal Canadian resident. I’ve tried twice to do an interview with Ilegal, the first time the tape player was broken and the second time we went out drinking after the show and the interview never happened…
Sergej Vutuc was in P-Town to set up a photo exhibition and check out Unheard Distribution’s invitational contest. He took some more “behind the scenes” photos, and he had this to say: “Rad contest…. almost like session… definitely gives special soul to event and great start for future events. The rest you can see and hear in video… one band on loud speakers (slayer) and rad skating. that’s it.”
Any given friday, a session like this could be going down at the Buena Vista square pool south of Santa Cruz, one of the longest running “backyard” pools in history. This pool has been skated by generations of legendary skateboarders. Most sessions these days include not only the old school pool shredders and underground legends, but also unknown new school pool riders that fearlessly roll in to the deep end and attack the “lip” as if they’ve been skating pools their entire lives, which quite probably they have. This pool is definitely harder to skate than it looks. Hopefully it will remain empty for another 30 years for following generations of pool skaters to shred without too much fear of the cops showing up and busting it, or without it being filled in with dirt like it has numerous times over the last 30 years.
In this tutorial the Creedence crew from Italy explain how to build a concrete ledge. After that, they decide to skate the Canadian ledge with some friends…
