We first approached the city council with a skate-urbanism approach – we asked for permission to improve a spot we had been riding since the late 1980s: a schoolyard with a nice sidewalk with a perfectly flat surface and behind the school, a thirty-meter-long covered passageway with a concrete floor. This is where we requested permission to build a skatepark.
When I started, there were about 20 skaters out of 1.27 million population… So you already knew who to expect from hearing that distinctive sound of a board rolling down the road. Now, there are so many kids skating that we barely recognize each other!
When I chatted to Tim Hazelton about how he managed to get a slice of paradise with a vert ramp on it, he said that he’d discovered the ramp at Greys online. He purchased it and got a crane driver mate to pick it up and drop it off onto this plot of land he had in Airlie Beach…
The goal was to organize something simple and within our means. So we planned a day full of skating at the spot, stuff for tricks, a flea market, tattoos, drinks, and food — as the foundation for a get-together to celebrate this silly little culture of ours.
Reunion is an island in the Indian ocean next to Madagascar, which is part of France. Antiz crew took a trip there and this is what they discovered…
I made it to the Bernside Fest this time. My girlfriend and I came a day early, and had a blast enjoying a full Bern experience all week-end long (merci Mischler). Rosengarten promenade, followed by a cocktail at Bellevue five stars hotel for breakfast.
Haters will say another last Beast Feast has been ruined by rain. We say, no one can handle water as well as us. Bold statement you reckon? Well, you should ask the 12,000 person rave to us. They drowned while we were dancing in the mud to Suicide Catdoors…
For the expansion of the spot since the year before with crews from @beaulieudiy, @barbecuediy, and the guys from St. Jean de Maurienne (skate&create) the place is a private spot where events will be organized every year…
Habash Skate – a bunch of creatives and craftsmen – invited to the annual Beton Fiesta at the skatepark in Näfels. People from all over Europe came together to build the new feature – a roller to miniramp. It’s the first extension of the park area in the last 10 years.
Downside DIY has been going since late 2022, built under a transit bridge in Tottenham, North London. From unused grim to popular skatepot, it has quickly become an integral part of the London Skate scene.
“These guys built a bowl, it’s in the garden of an estate that was built at the German border during the second world war without a construction license
