It was January 2014, together with my friend after a few beers we decided to build a concrete pool in the heart of Warsaw under the bridge where I was previously involved with POWISLE DIY project. We were pissed off because of many things like the fact diy culture is still not that big in Poland, all the bowls at the parks are really bad and mellow and don’t even have good coping
Driving down Melrose Ave. I saw a quiet little spot, perfect for a narrow quarter pipe. I knew there is no way I could build there so I started thinking about prefab DIY….
Futaba tunnel is one of the closest skate spots from the Fukushima nuclear plants. It was a hard and fun spot.
After we had built a sweet kidney pool in the lovely seaside resort of Mers les Bains on the northern french Atlantic coast last year we were invited to come back this year for more. The plan was to extend the street area with some kind of pump track around the whole park and mixing some street obstacles in there and just try to open up as many lines as possible.
The day came where he rang me saying his girlfriend was staying with some Brazilians in a house with a pool. I went over immediately and started helping him empty it…
The spot is called Plymouth DIY. We decided to build something really steep and whippy because every skatepark around here is really small and mellow.
Skaters have long held the torch of adopting the most awesome of the misappropriated religious festivals for Australia. Dress up in satanic garb, get a bit intoxicated and play skateboards? Fuck yeah!

The city authorized the skate association to do that but after a while I found asbestos in the dirt.. it’s not toxic but really harmful if you inhale it. I don’t know if you have that shit where you live, but it’s pretty big in Italy though. Somebody hid the asbestos back in the day. I quit with that. I wasted six hundred euros…
Frank Shaw, featured in Confusion Magazine issue #8 (as well as shown on the cover of the same issue doing a hurricane grind over the door at San Pedro) has a new video part for HOAX MFG premiering exclusively on Confusion Magazine, right here, right now.
No amount of anti perspirant could have prepared us for this year’s trip. The sausage gods of Hamburg felt it was fit to slowly roast our pale British skins and make skateboarding extra difficult. Six gents sharing a small room created some very interesting smells and we were drinking more water than von raven this time round…
“Shaun “the Boss” Ross is a bad ass. Shaun loves skateboarding, his family and surfing. Unfortunately shortly after his Thrasher intro part and his “Hall of Meat” clip came out, he blew out his knee. So here we are now, all healed up and starting to roll around again.
The place is located in Senica in western Slovakia. The situation with skateboarding in Senica is completely fucked up and skateboarding there is only a fucking business.
