I was writing for months with Arne (Boardstein) and he told me that they were working on rebuilding the old “under the bridge” park in Heidelberg, Germany. I was thinking to go there to make a few photos, because it’s so close to Heilbronn where I live, and Heidelberg is a sweet green quiet town.
Wörgl’s pool # 3 is ready to shred… Built by the locals from Tyrol. Thanks for all the helping hands and dedication. There is still space left so watch out for more ‘crete coming soon!
From April 21st to 25th our lurking class team went on a little Easter trip heading to Hard at Bodensee (Austria). Starting on Thursday evening we arrived late at night in Stuttgart (Germany) to meet up with the guys from Koloss to have a little sesh at the museum bowl and to have a shelter for the first night.
Sometimes you can’t always live in the past. Today the sun was shining and we headed to the North Brigade for a session with the Impakt Crüe and friends.
Late last year, another big concrete park was finished in Germany – more precisely in Hirschgarten (Munich). The pictures of the building process looked promising so we, a crew from guys around Tyrol (Austria), decided to check out the new concrete monster.
I know, it’s Vert season in Sweden right now, but we’re a little behind here at Confusion headquarters – we’ve been hitting up skate events and hardcore shows in different countries and putting out magazines. Rest assured, you’ll be seeing some insane Vert Attack 5 coverage on the site one of these days, but for now we’re going to flash back to the final day of the Ultra Bowl II in Malmö, Sweden.
Zarosh and Red have just finished a pour for the big bowl at Cachagua Land. The did this new section in one day. Check Confusion Magazine Issue #2 back from the printers the end of Janaury for a full Zarosh Interview.
Through early to mid October 2010 I was a traveling gardener in the big ol’ USA. During my time in St. Louis, I stumbled on this beauty.
Burnside is the oldest D.I.Y skate park in the United States and possibly the world. This Halloween I was lucky enough to partake and enjoy the 20 year celebration of the park. This skate park began its form during one Halloween night 20 years ago. Almost every following Halloween there has been some kind of gathering and skating at the park to celebrate its creation and existence. And this year was no exception…
Near the end of the summer, there was a 40th birthday skate bbq at the Siegburg bowl, about 20 minutes south of Köln, Germany.
A month after the city had a brief but futile attempt to destroy the under the bridge DIY spot built by the skaters of Köln, the Yama Skateboards team from Austria were passing through town on their way to Belgium. We had planned a mini-ramp session at the Lohse Ramp, but Germany’s sketchy summer time weather canceled that plan with intermittent rain throughout the day. Our only option was to hit up the DIY spot…
Under the bridge in Köln, Germany, a DIY skate spot had been started a few years ago, and then lay stagnant. With some motivation from the Köln skaters, Phase II was underway, with a pump bump and quarter pipe. Money was gathered for bags of concrete, tools were purchased, trowels were customized, and even a concrete truck made a delivery of fresh ‘crete.
