Torsoarama – Malas Rampas – Basque Country

Torsoarama, DIY miniramp session at Malas rampas, is the session you cannot miss. It’s not a contest, it’s basically a perfect skating day. This year, we had it all: good weather, good food and good skaters!

Iberian Peninsula skate trip

Last summer I went on holiday in the Iberian Peninsula. There are more places than just Barcelona to visit there. The people are very nice and every place I went I met rippers!

Concrete countryside mini ramp – Basque country

The plan is to go to a mini ramp built in the middle of nature. I met Diego with his girlfriend Erika and we drove to the place which is almost on the border with France. When we got there I found this concrete beauty, built at the bottom of a small valley…

Vans Spring Classic – miniramp contest – Napoli, Italy

For a perfect pizza good ingredients are the base! A bunch of sick skaters from all over the world, a well made mini-ramp (Ignoramps), a fruitful sunny place, fantastic food… altogether made a great event.

Winter Weekend in the Netherlands – Amsterdam & Eindhoven

With the 8th issue of Confusion Magazine finally at the printers, it was time to take a little break from the computer, and get out of the city, or country, for a little winter time skate or surf road trip.

Booze & Cruise. Area 51 skatepark. Eindhoven, Holland.

first of many foreseeable Booze & Cruises to take place at Area 51 Skatepark was a success. The level of skateboarding for a mostly amateur contest was incredible. Standouts were the locals, Nick Bax and Jeroen Sars (Team 100%), Job and Daan van der Linden, whom I named the mini John Cardiel of Holland who were claiming Team Andy Roy, and the Belgian duo, Szymon Stachon and Maarten van den Bossche.
