Yes, we just had a post on the new Minus park in Velbert, Germany. But, on the way back from the Bergfest in the Monster Bowl in Münster, Germany, I hooked up a ride back to Cologne we Matze Preisser and Lukas Axmann who were keen for a shred in a new concrete park they had never skated, and I had never been there and wanted to check it out myself.
We hit Velbert just after it was finished. There was a big hole in the deep-end that was not closed which limited our lines a little. But overall, the bowl is realy nice to skate. Crazy lines with the bump in the middle and a nice mix of different transitions. Pool stones in the deep-end and some stairs in a quick corner.
On July 7th, a few miles from Barcelona, we had the luck to enjoy the first RIPOLLET BOWL PARTY organized by the Ripollet City Council, Gypsy Skateboarding and Adventures, Hey Ho Skateshop, Maccaroni Distribution, Bastard Clothing and Confusion DIY Magazine, to celebrate the official opening of the park.

The FLIP skateboards team are half way through a tour of germany, england and sweden. They stopped by the Northbrigade in Cologne this monday, to session the mini ramp and the concrete Owl Bowl.
Yesterday, for the 20th anniversary of “Kampsa II“, a contest was organized in Pasajes, Basque Country, in their wonderful DIY bowl.
Thanks to Vans, Slapshop, Jart, BD Skateco, Hoff, 310 shop, Manic and Flow for their gifts to the bests skaters, and winners of the contest.
This is the new skate spot in Köln, on the ‘other’ side of the Rhein, underneath the Zoobrücke.
It is not DIY. Otherwise, it would be much better. But I won’t waste this space complaining about how rad it would have been if there was some kind of a bowl, instead of these little concrete obstacles strewn here and there.
On Saturday June 30, Volcom organized the first half-pipe championship in Spain since a long time. In Spain half pipe skating was big from 1988-1992… but then vert died. Now, 21 years later we again see this full-fledged show.

Bowl Attack 6 is a three part scandanavian bowl tour surrounding the Vert Attack 6 in Malmö, Sweden, back in January 2012. While Vert Attack 6 was going on all weekend on the vert ramp at Bryggeriet, Confusion decided to check out the bowl session that wasn’t getting mobbed by every photo-videographer and his brother, along with the live webcast, contest announcing and undercover skate groupies pretending they were reporting on the event, like that what was going on at the vert ramp 20 feet away.
It has a 1.8m deep pool, road barrier hip, flat bank hip, and a speed track around the pool. Heaps of fun.
Saint Lys is a super accessible bowl, perfect to learn to carve with power, perfect to make loud grinds, like all the work we do at with the ZUT CREW, we make the most from the least, from your entrails till your leather, from her womb to her skin, the building of a skatepark is a kind of love-hate relationship, and as hard as it may be to imagine, things made with love, are love…. enjoy dogs…
