DIY skate spots

D.I.Y. Skateboarding

Penthouse bowl – Switzerland

Everything started with this ramp at my parents house we skated maybe three years before I moved into my own house. I rebuilt the the ramp to use the corners again and made something that really looks like a pool.

Drop into the Pissrinne – Bonn, Germany

Down in a passway, where junkies roam and people pee, skaters from Bonn brought some ramps to skate on the Saturday before Christmas. Welcome to the Pissrinne (peegully).

South Park Sofia DIY – Bulgaria

The spot is located in Sofia the capital of Bulgaria in Eastern Europe. We started building the spot about a year ago, there was only one concrete part of some structure and a lot of junk there, left from some old construction site. We started building there because there is a river and a good amount of junk for the back fill. The main idea was to build obstacles that aren’t built in Sofia and Bulgaria, like DIY curbs and kickers… The spot is built by the local skateboarders for skateboarders.

Backyard bowls in Florianópolis – Brazil

“Florianopolis is like no other place in the world. Everywhere you look there are backyards pools built for skating, backyard mini ramps and skate stuff everywhere. Just walking down the street you hear skating in backyards on every block.” – Neal Hendrix

SWAMPTON DIY BOWL (2007 – 2015)

Sadly, Henry “Swampy” Moore’s DIY bowl ‘SWAMPTON’ is no more. So, we’ve complied a little send off edit with the best shredding by Swampy himself – accompanied by Joxa, Jim Spencer and Jacob Tyson.

Australian barriers and pool

Inspiration for this spot came from seeing amazing DIY pop up all over the world and we wanted a little taste. We knew a beaut’ of a barrier that sits hidden away under a train bridge in Brisbane’s south that hadn’t been touched in years, all that was there was a channel that had been concreted up initially by Noah Phillips, Mark Zimmerle and Flloyd Rewa maybe 10 years ago.
