On arrival I don’t think anyone really knew what we were getting ourselves in for the following week back in early June in Hannover, Germany. The basic idea was that the 2 er – ‘the two stair’ Crew had the idea to invite D.I.Y (Do It Yourself) Skate crews from all corners of Europe to come to their spot and each team would be given 3 days to build something.
Just friends doing what they love and what they live for. Doing concrete stuff. this mini-wave-ramp is the beginning of a bigger project. but who knows what happens?
Martin Ehrenberger of Blackriver, designed the park based on the notion of creating a park accessible to all skateboarders – regardless of their skill level.

This bowl is ready now. It´s the first decent bowl we built since starting Yamato Living Ramps and it was a challenge for sure.
The düdes from Tirol, Austria who built the Wörgl skate park cruised up to Münich, … Keep reading
OK, destroy our work – fuck you! Than we build it in another place, but even bigger.
The chances you have heard about a tiny village one hour north of Nürnberg in the North-Bavarian outback called Neudrossenfeld are virtually zero. Designed by Blackriver Ramps and built last year together with the Yamato crew from Hannover and the legendary Baum, this park is a perfect combination of flow, street, and bowl.
The Osthafen Skatepark is really big. The shape of the transitions and other concrete obstacles are nearly perfect. The first time you go there you have to try to explore all the possibilities the park has to offer, because there’s so much to handle. The right side of the park is simliar to a street plaza: curbs, rails, banks, hips, gaps and china banks. The obstacles on the street section are really low and not too good to skate.
On the left side you find a bowl land scape. If you spend some time testing the lines with your hands, you’ll find the flow. There is something for everyone. In the back part, there is a bowl with a loveseat and a corner which has pool coping. In the front part there is another bowl with a full pipe with a similar corner, on the opposite side is a big bank. And don’t forget to hit up the volcano, there you can end the day nicely.
At the end of 2012 Alex Funk, head of Telum Skateboards and a few Stuttgart locals visited the former health ministry in Stuttgart and decided it could be a good place to build up something new to skate indoor in Stuttgart. The Skateboard Museum, also located in Stuttgart, was closing at the end of the year. So there was the possibility to rebuild the Museum Bowl into the new location.
The park will be open for the public April 26th and it will be fuckin rad, and big. No steelcoping! Only pool coping in the bowl area!!!!!!
