The heavy-hitters were here – Bryan the Tree, Jaime Mateu, Stellio Sakellarides, Ginger, and Collin – all blowing the roof off . And let’s not forget the Austrian regulars, the usual suspects: Sebi Fox, Admir Selimi, Bachl David, Thaller David, and the whole local crew.

Rollerdamm DIY in Vienna didn’t waste much time asking for permission when they started turning a shitty, junked up ditch, well hidden underneath a freeway bridge, into a one of a kind little skate refuge.
After 13 years of pouring concrete #wörgldiy finally held it’s official opening party. Over a decade in the making one of Europe’s largest DIY skateparks celebrates with a real skateboard party: Volcom brought their riders to the Austrian alps, there were €2000 for best trick sessions in different areas of the park and the most outstanding tricks were awarded with special trophies by Independent Trucks.
Cold beer and BBQ during the day as well as a live concert right at the skatepark in the evening round up the event. And as if having a great time wasn’t reason enough to be there, the whole fun and games even served a good cause: all revenues at the bar went to the children’s cancer aid!
We arrived at the skatepark at the Sportplatz just in time for the last beer before the bar closed… fiuuu… and we helped a bit to set up the last big gazebo, the one that saved us the next day when it started to rain. I knew that it was gonna stop, but… you know… Austria… fresh big blond beers…
since the big wooden spine miniramp had to be torn down due to constant wear and tear over the years, the park definitely needed a lift up. So Michael was once more able to convince conservative politicians to spend money, this time on a concrete bowl and he raised some more dough from sponsors out of the skate scene as well to fill the last financial void …
