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.

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.
Grim Creepers skate jam – Northcote, Melbourne
The Grim Creepers put on a great skate Jam at Northcote Skate Park in Melbourne just before Christmas, so I went down with a few mates to check it out.
Kiel DIY – northern Germany
Ever since I saw Pontus Alv’s “Strongest of the Strange” I wanted to build some skate stuff myself. The film blew my mind // great skating, artwork and DIY, but especially the short moaning scene. It sounded all so familiar to me: no time, no spots to skate, no motivation.
Agarasa Base – Nagahama, Japan
AGARASA BASE is a skatepark I made in Nagahama, in the Shiga Prefecture of Japan. I spent about three years building the park in my backyard.
