Boa Vida bowl – southern Portugal

It’s just a dream that came true. We had to work a lot to accomplish this. We had the outstanding support from some special people that believed in it. But sadly we had to fight and we still do with lawyers because legal processes are against us. Because we are dreamers, because we live our dreams we should fight for them, but don’t take us wrong we don’t like to fight, it’s such a waste of energy, we like to love and we made it out of love, we fight it with love, but you know, love does not pay the lawyers and fines that the local police and the government gave to us and are still trying to destroy our dream…

Malmö Ultra Bowl 2015 at Sibbarp Skatepark

Ultra Bowl changed this year. Not the players, they are still all the best transition rippers of the moment, but the location moved from Stapelbäddsparken to Sibbarp. I arrived on Thursday afternoon, just at the end of the jump ramp session, at Malmö central station.

ABC bowl / 7-77 bowl construction

I have my garden, I am manual worker, I understand approximately how to build a concrete bowl. I had to take the time needed, behind my straight face it is vital for me – a sort of question of life or death.

Vans Pool Party 2015 at the Combi – Orange, California

This Year the Vans Pool Party was just EPIC! These days were crazy at the Vans Skatepark at The Block here in Anaheim, California. All the best bowl skaters from all over the world were there to shred and all of them were hungry to win.

Wavegarden – Northern Bavaria, Germany

Located in Northern Bavaria; Selb skatepark is one of the smoothest and most flowing next level parks designed by Martin Ehrenberger. For Blackriver building parks is an art form, not a business venture; non-profit building at it’s finest!

OMSA crew grinds down the NorthBrigade

Although not all these guys are officially part of the OMSA crew, skaters from Germany, Basque country and England got together for a proper shred in the newly rebuilt NorthBrigade skatepark in Cologne, Germany. Although these tricks aren’t the gnarliest you’ve seen, keep in mind most of these guys are over 45 and a couple of them over 50. Let’s see you do a double truck 50-50 grind in a tight pocket when you’re 50!
