It was early August and Wonderland’s 17th birthday was coming up on September 26th. We wanted to build more on the path along Wonderland and after seeing a bunch of fox trails, we wanted to have one all the way around Wonderland. Imagining and dreaming, we spoke about a full pipe (thinking they can’t be so expensive those used for draining), so I called our sewer guy…
Tada’s show “Dick Skinners” was something I was looking forward to for a few weeks. At least ever since I knew it was going to be in Basel. So we jumped in Juli’s VW and off we went.
Comenzamos el evento presentando el nuevo DIY Grind To Grind Molten Trucks Pool Coping. Siguiendo nuestra obsesión por los ejes y nuestro culto a ellos, el nuevo Grind to Grind consistía en la fundición de ejes de skate y transformarlos en una loseta de piscina.
In early February this year, Jeremy, the owner invited the whole team Defocus Skateboards team to test the concrete. The bowl was just finished two weekends before, the pool coping adjusted, and a special product put on the concrete to clean it.
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.
Brotherhood Plaza is one of the first skate plazas in Sweden with more than 1600 square meters to skate. With grass gaps, curbs, banks, hips and even a bowl this D.I.Y park is surely worth a visit. With a colorful mix of obstacles the founder, David Krug, in collaboration with Stockholm City and the local community, made sure that there will always be new lines to be discovered at the plaza. With more of an urban vibe going on this plaza is frequently visited and cherished by most skaters in the Stockholm county and also a must tour-stop for skaters passing by in the area code.
Confusion headed up to Berlin for the Shitfootmongoland independent, skater-owned tradeshow and ended up hanging with the Warriors and the Jean Jaques possee from Belgium at the Betonhausen DIY outdoor concrete bowl…
We went to Basel, it was fucking hot, so we skated at 3am in-between swimming in the Rhine and we got drunk and slept in at the bowl Jamie and Oli fucking killed it.
Hamburg has always been an epicentre of the german skate scene, but as far as concrete skateparks go we’ve been like 20 years behind the rest of the world for ages. But those days are long gone now and during the last year alone we’ve had some kind of concrete explosion with six decent new parks having been built mostly courtesy of Minus-Ramps
“Our skateparks are high quality parks. Why should we put out a medium quality board? … Keep reading
Torsoarama, DIY miniramp session at Malas rampas, is the session you cannot miss. It’s not a contest, it’s basically a perfect skating day. This year, we had it all: good weather, good food and good skaters!
Mondariz, near Vigo, lost in the forest, now a few years that there is a … Keep reading
