Converse skatepark opening – Lima, Peru

Four months of intense building were needed to build the first skatepark with such a huge bowl in Perú and in the whole subcontinent, except Brazil.

Garage: DIY or CRY, beers and rock´n´roll – Czech Republic

Never ending beer discussions had to stop. Every one of us wanted to build something and it was time to get radical. One day around 2 o´clock in the morning we were enlightened! We found the message carved in our table at the bar. We finished a few more beers (and a few shots), got the whole crew together and started to search for the spot.

The Fernando Elvira Interview

It´s been around ten years ago since I first met Fernando. He was visiting our common friend, Pipas, in Switzerland and they came over for a skate session in the barn. We did not talk much back then and we didn´t have a real connection. He was mostly sitting somewhere drawing in a notebook, while everyone else got stoned when not skating. When dinner time came he sat on the side picking a raw cabbage and I remember asking him what was up with that. He told me he was as a raw foodist and how he got into that.

Logr Crew (Czech Republic) discover Beauty and the Beast

One time LOGR got packed up, got into the van, got the engine started for a journey through Europe.

And on the road, we hit the beautiful Swiss city of Zürich, where we met Beauty and the Beast!
