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!
Without any experience how to work with concrete we started building the first section of the park seven years ago. Since this time we somehow got addicted and whenever we have a bit of money collected we come back to the construction site to build another part! Wörgl Skatepark became one of the best skate spots in Austria and after all there is no end in sight! There’s plenty of ground left to be covered with concrete in the next years! Many thanks go to all the guys that invested months of hard work & the Pilotto Skate Shop for supporting this project since day one!
Specifically formulated to resist flatspotting while maintaining a higher rebound for a quicker response and a faster roll. The urethane is the perfect blend of grip, slide & durability. A harder inner core ensures a perfect bearing seat & smooth roll – ideal for all terrain skateboarding.
Kevin Wenzke is one of the best all around transition rippers in Germany. At 22 years old, destroying any new bowl or ramp built on European soil, as well as the older concrete relics from the past, Kevin has a bright future in skateboarding. We were close to interviewing Kevin for issue #3 of Confusion Magazine but he had a bad knee injury which took him out for about eight months last May, so we couldn’t complete the feature. Here we have a short interview with some photos taken right before his injury, and a few older photos and sequences. Be on the look out for a full feature with Kevin in 2012 with all new photos as he completes his recovery and returns to slay the concrete bowls across the lands!
The session at the brand new D.I.Y spot at the Mellowpark in Berlin was amazing. Lot’s of riders from all ages and all over Europe came together to skate this epic place. Not even a heavy dump could stop the session. Free drinks and BBQ made the day perfect! Thanks to Lenni, Jan and all the other locals that put so much effort, love and time into this outstanding project! – Asti
