Beaulieu DIY – France – Jam session #2

The Beaulieu DIY is an abandonned skatepark built in in 1998 by a group of young dudes from Beaulieu and town council workers in part of an old quarry given to them by the mayor. Over the years, the park has grown thanks to many skaters and lately the Hang-Up crew has been building there and scored a deal with local authorities to be caretakers of the spot.

Builders’ Jam: PuraPura – La Paz, Bolivia

Koekie and the Knock Out Blocks crew put on their annual RAMP JAM in the countryside about 30 minutes from Antwerp, Beligum. The recipe the year is always the same: punk and hardcore bands, a sketchy ramp with as many gnarly features as possible, cheap beers, mayhem and destruction.

2er Builders Jam – Hannover, Germany – Part 1 & 2

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.
