Plymouth DIY – England

The spot is called Plymouth DIY. We decided to build something really steep and whippy because every skatepark around here is really small and mellow.

Ottone Bowl DIY – Lodi, Italy

Two years ago I started digging a pool in my town Lodi. The city authorized the skate association to do that but after a while I found asbestos in the dirt.. it’s not toxic but really harmful if you inhale it. I don’t know if you have that shit where you live, but it’s pretty big in Italy though. Somebody hid the asbestos back in the day. I quit with that. I wasted six hundred euros…

Just go. Wilhelmsburg park.

Sweaty Sausages. Hamburg, Germany – 2014

No amount of anti perspirant could have prepared us for this year’s trip. The sausage gods of Hamburg felt it was fit to slowly roast our pale British skins and make skateboarding extra difficult. Six gents sharing a small room created some very interesting smells and we were drinking more water than von raven this time round…

Sweeper

Ratz Secret DIY spot – Slovakia

The place is located in Senica in western Slovakia. The situation with skateboarding in Senica is completely fucked up and skateboarding there is only a fucking business.

DIY in Flémalle – Bowl des Trixhes – Belgium

5 years ago, with the help of the Brusk crew, my friends David, Yan and I had the opportunity to participate in the construction of our own dreampark, consisting primarily of a clover-shaped, 7 feet deep pool.

Home Sweet Bowl – Summer Party – northern Germany

. We built it in May in Eyk`s garden and now it was about time for a decent public opening party which took place on August 30th. Days of preparations guaranteed that we were about to have a good time whether it would be raining or not. Four of Schleswig-Holstein`s finest bands were about to play and the bowl was to be shredded. It was party time!
