Urban Skate Project Crew Goes North (Just to Skate Though)
Some of the Urban Skate Project Crew took a break from building DIY spots in the Los Angeles area and headed north to the Bay Area to try out a couple of the DIY spots they have up there.

Concrete Mini Ramp – Rafina, Athens – Greece
Everything began at our friends old house in Rafina, a suburb of Athens. We were discussing making our own mini ramp, because we sadly lack skateparks here in Greece.
Pura Pura, Bolivia – Un, Dos, Tres, Concrete!
The park is sick. Well most of us left before we got to see it all completed which was a little disheartening, but what was there was rad. The floor is a bit ghetto in places and, in contrast, some of the ramps are professional enough to be seen on a actual official skatepark build – this kind of sums up the entire build: somewhere between a skatepark and doing a DIY job.
Gone But Not Forgotten: OldStar DIY
Not too far inland from the sunny beaches of Venice sat an off the grid renegade skatepark….
Kobwebs DIY – England
It was the summer of 2011 that Frank asked his dad if he could put a little wooden mini ramp in his dad’s old cow shed which was just full of beat up old vans and various bits of knackered old equipment. His dad said he could have one corner of the shed. …
Znakeside DIY – Rio De Janeiero
After two months we already had our own skatepark! We never had any kind of sponsorship from skateshops or brands – just from the skaters! Many materials were taken from old construction sites nearby so we could save a lot of money for more barbecue and beers!
The Cutie DIY – Zürich, Switerzland
The Beauty was our beloved indoor Pool in the Autonomous Beauty Salon in Zürich. Since the squat got evicted in spring 2014, we started to plan for a new winter spot.
Rathole DIY – Chur, Switzerland
The decision, to build our own concrete dream was already made – all we needed was a good space.
Stokin’ panorama – Canary Islands (Tenerife and La Palma)
Beginning of the year, new energy, new time to spend looking for new discoveries. Once again, I travel to this peacful place, and just as the before I found more than I expected – and with the skate spots – more than I had ever imagined. This trip turned into a crazy kind of stokin’ “search and find” new DIY and new skateable landscapes inside this atlantic paradise.
Super… Pool Sunday
While millions were watching a pig skin being tossed back and forthfor Super Bowl Sunday, some local So Cal rippers were skating a heavy session at Would Shop DIY / Butler’s Pool.
