Opglabbeek & Dilsen in a day – Belgium roadtrip

Ten skaters, two cars, two skateparks, two hundred and thirty-four kilometers roundtrip, 653 photographs and one pulled calf muscle. Destination Dilsen-Stokkem skatepark in Belgium.

Trukentroef X – Vorselaar, Belgium

Fast forward to 2026 and suddenly it’s our 10th anniversary! Just like our small DIY-park, the contest grew a little bigger and now has its infamous reputation of ‘not caring’ about big money prices or famous riders or anything like all these boring corporate events. The idea is still the same after all these years

The Koloniak Belgium Roadtrip 2025

We were dreaming and procrastinating about the first little skate escape of the year, that’s why we started to spread the word of an easter trip, around the skaters from Cologne and surroundings. And this word became real, here is our roadtrip report!

Truken Troef VII – Vorselaar, Belgium

After the previous edition was completely rained out, we could count on beautiful weather this year. (We’re still grateful for the last-minute tent that allowed us to skate a bit last year.)

DIY in Flémalle – Bowl des Trixhes – Belgium

5 years ago, with the help of the Brusk crew, my friends David, Yan and I had the opportunity to participate in the construction of our own dreampark, consisting primarily of a clover-shaped, 7 feet deep pool.

A “Home” in Flémalle – Belgium

Under the surface of big and loud machines are popping out little places hiding much potential for skateboarding and DIY. In the little town of Flémalle, in the suburbs of Liège, a few young and highly motivated skaters explored their living environment for places of freedom and imagination.

Wim de Waele takes some risk shooting this pic of Timothy. Good for him he has the control.

Belgium café DIY skatepark

We were cleaning up the mess of the Malinas Machinas on monday and the brewer (Frans van Craenenbroeck) comes to me and he says: ‘I bought a café with a hangar in the back. Can you come check it out and see if it’s possible to built a skatepark in there?’…

Mechelen DIY – Belgium (Spring 2012)

I hadn’t visited Mechelen since last May and in this time, Bruno and his Concrete Dreams crew have been using Mechelen as a testing ground for new techniques, obstacles and features that they can then implement in a variety of skateparks they’re building around Belgium. Therefore, Mechelen has a little bit of everything: a bowl, a concrete miniramp, ledges, pyramids, speed bumps, tables, corners, a loveseat, a tombstone door for the daredevils to attempt, and a skateable perimeter speed line that goes around the outside of about half the park.
