After the demise of the Bronson Ditch project, Clayton Graul was already on the hunt for a new location. Having participated with USP at Bronson, I was also on the hunt for a new location for them. My hunt didn’t take me deeper into the woods or another ditch off the beaten path. I was led right to my local prefab skatepark.
This article begins with a short intro how we even got to El Puerto de Santa Maria in the first place. The idea was since a long time to go on a long road trip to skate, surf, exhibit our art and play concerts on the way and we finally got the money to do it.
2014 R&R SK8 CONTEST celebrated March 29th, in El Puerto de Santa María, Cádiz.
“When you throw a bunch of skaters from all over the world in a couple … Keep reading
October 5th, time to say bye to the summer, because winter is very rainy in the Basque Country and the sun and summer are so valued for us.
This is the third year that we (G’nassis) organized the Malinas Machinas event in Mechelen. The first year we didn’t really knew what we were doing, but we knew that we wanted skateboarding, bands playing and the bowl filled up with water for a pool party. And that all ended up super good, so we decided to do it again the next year in pirate style.
The Best of Both is a wooden bowl contest that takes place every year for the last four or five years. The first day the skating is in the downstairs Factory Bowl, and the second day upstairs in the OMSA Pool which is a wooden replica of a real backyard pool.
The Urban Day Ripollet Bowl Party went down on July 6th, 2013 at Ripollet skatepark on the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. Sponsored by Hey Ho Bar, September Wheels, Gypsy skateboards, Hoax, Converse, Osiris, Ace Trucks, Muckefuck, Warriors skateboards, Servant Footwear, and Maccaroni Distribution. A fun day in the sun with lots of free skate products, clothes and shoes for all the winners, and everyone was a winner this day!
Confusion Magazine online is starting a new photographer spotlight series called Behind the Lens which spotlights the characters that document skateboarding to fill the pages of skateboarding magazines and websites around the world. Without skate photographers, we would only have our faded memories of a session, from our own personal perspective, and would never see different diy spots, skateparks, ramps, ditches, backyard pools and street scenes around the world. The skateboarder is the hero, but it is the person behind the lens that brings this duo together to successfully capture an instant in time and place. Whether exposing with light onto film or onto megapixel memory sticks, each photographer has their own style, equipment and group of skaters they shoot with. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so check out the photography of Ricardo Muñoz Carter, and if you have time you can find out which photographers inspire him, what equipment he uses, and how he started to shoot skate photos in the first place.
Here it is folks the next ‘crete-raiser is set to go down Saturday, April 20th, 2013! Come shred Rocky’s bowl and help raise some extra dough to finish the BUILD.
You take the opportunity to get a skate on whatever the day of the week. But most people have a regular session that they look forward to more than the rest, whether that’s a Monday, Tuesday or whatever. For as long as I can remember that day has been a Thursday. The Thursday night skate is, and has always been the session you want to be a part of…
A year late and a euro short… last January, over 1 year ago, was VERT ATTACK 6, an epic vert two day show down on Malmö’s “mid size” vert ramp at Brygerriet skatepark. The year before, Vert Attack 5 showcased vert skateboarding legends Steve Caballero and Christian Hosoi, and this years old school legend was none other than Duane Peters! Other than the the Master of Disaster showing up to perform practically every trick he invented, on hand were young gun american rippers Brad McClain ane Ben Hatchell who skated the ramp padless with every lip trick in the book as if it were a miniramp.
