Freakend 2023 – Port Land DIY – Basel, Switzerland

Port Land DIY family put together a new edition of the Freakend party. Three days of rad skating, music playing, silkscreen printing, snake venom drinking and chicken plucking in one of Switzerland’s most famous DIYs.

Trukentroef V – Vorselaar, Belgium

Since the last edition a few new obstacles were built by Ratman’s crew and the locals: a new corner with a love seat including custom made pool coping and a nice bank with a little slappy on top.

Sebbe Debuck is not only good on a snowboard. He's got some smith grind skills too.

Malinas Machinas 3 – Mechelen, Belgium

This is the third year that we (G’nassis) organized the Malinas Machinas event in Mechelen. The first year we didn’t really knew what we were doing, but we knew that we wanted skateboarding, bands playing and the bowl filled up with water for a pool party. And that all ended up super good, so we decided to do it again the next year in pirate style.

Gathering of the tribes – Baum’s Birthday – Mr. Wilson Skate hall

Whether it be skateboarding, building skateparks, or partying, Baum goes all in – at least 100%. When I heard about Baum’s party taking place at the Mr. Wilson skate hall, the only indoor concrete bowl in Germany, I knew this was an occasion not to be missed.

Danger Dave and the fire.

Ramp Jam 5 – Belgium

Koekie and the Knock Out Blocks crew put on their annual RAMP JAM in the countryside about 30 minutes from Antwerp, Beligum. The recipe the year is always the same: punk and hardcore bands, a sketchy ramp with as many gnarly features as possible, cheap beers, mayhem and destruction.

Fiesta Des Ursulines 2013 – Bruxelles, Belgium

Every year the Fiesta des Ursulines somehow marks the beginning of the skateboarding summer season in Brussels. However, the weather isn’t always on our side. But beer is a good alternative to missing sunlight, and we Belgians know how to make up for it. Our top animator Phil was at his best as usual, dressed as a womenly kinda joker. All-in-all the event was a great success, gathering skaters, rockers, groupies, mom’s and dad’s, kiddies, punks and hipsters. The gigs around the bowl were rad and the skaters hit it hard during the session. So fuck the weather and let’s skate!
