2ER D.I.Y JAM – Hannover, Germany (Part 1)
On arrival I don’t think anyone really knew what we were getting ourselves into for the following week back in early June in Hannover, Germany. The basic concept was that the 2er [tsvi-er] crew had the idea to invite D.I.Y skate crews from all corners of Europe to come to their spot and each team would be given three days to build something.
Windmill skate crew – Finland – Ei Sulle video
Windmill is a longtime skate crew from Finland. A crew of skaters most of whom are originally from somewhere in Häme, between Helsinki and Tampere. That means growing up and skating in small cities and countrysides where nothing happens if you don`t do it yourself. No industry, no money, just you and your skateboarding.
The Beauty – D.I.Y Pool – Zürich, Switzerland
When we first entered the room, it was a full junkyard. But now, it is really a BEAUTY. Smooth to skate, a good couch, even a decent sound system. Over a year, we were working in small steps until we completed our indoor pool. We learned with every step new ways of building, so you’ll feel it in every corner, which are all different to skate, due to the learning process.
Whip’s surf & skate bachelor party – Portugal
Sometime around the beginning of last year I received an email from my buddy Whip in England, whom I had met through my friend Scott Madill in London while skating and couch surfing around Europe back in 2005-2007. Unfortunately, Scott tweaked his back hammering some concrete a week before departure and had to miss the trip. I was honored to be invited to Whip’s “Eel Do”, which in colloquial terms is a bachelor party where him and the lads from Cornwall and London were heading to southern Portugal in search of waves, skateparks, and some boozing before he tied to knot.
Powell Peralta Europe Tour (Part 2)
“Every trip has it’s ups and downs. Whether it be not finding places to stay, long drives, weather, etc… After Sweden and Denmark we were sure that we were on an “up”. We get picked up in Malmö after having to get ahold of Brad through his girlfriend’s instagram. The drive was easy with a spacious van and we even ended up taking a ferry somewhere in there as well. My goal was to only speak German for as long we were in Germany. So I was less than talkative for the first four or so hours driving. I ended up breaking language when we ran into some of our friends from the States at a completely random rest stop off the German highway. A few English words with the homies and we’re off to Munster to skate for a couple of days….” – Steven Reeves
Sergej Vutuc – Painful reminder
“…what was important for me was to work with used material as much as possible to use things that we left – to leave and make an installation which has a double function… and on skateboard sculpture, for me is everytime kind of self play with things that i know, saw, skate and visions… the important part for me of skateboarding is to give things new meaning to see and use something what is not made for it… exploring perception and body…. first i play with many things that we know about skateboarding and objects which are skateable in simple way… but to see the change of an object meaning that people hang clothing and things on “artpeace” was something like giving new meaning to work, new step interaction…breathing…” – sergej vutuc
Powell Peralta Europe Tour (Part 1)
“I’ve always wanted to go to Denmark & Sweden ever since I’ve seen Pontus Alv skate. The spots look like they are out of a fantasy novel and the vibe reminded me of a lot of my home back in Vancouver. When Powell Peralta told us they wanted to do a tour this summer I was excited like a teenage kid that got laid for the first time. The crew consisted of a plethora of unique shredders: Steven Reeves (who in my mind is the definition of Powell Peralta), Bowl destroyer Brad McClain (my personal favorite), one of my best friends Josh Hawkins, filmer Terry Larue, and of course the mysterious photographer/TM Deville Nunes…” – Jordan Hoffart
