Mimizan skatepark – France
Zutskatepark in Mimizan, France. This bowl is big! We can’t understand why skaters in France and Spain in the beginning don’t want big trannies. Skateboarding Is everything… Big trannies, pools , halfpipes, flow parks , skate plazas, street areas. Imagine a street area with really little planters and hubbas. That’s stupid. No limits… Kids are the future and they don’t need limits. They need more and more…. zutskateparks wants to make skateboarding bigger, that’s all…
Betongpark boys skating and creating in Norway
A few years ago on a one off build in Norway with a British company, I met a couple of awesome Norwegians with big plans.

New concrete bowls in Capbreton – southwest France
Capbreton is hard to figure out, hard to get some speed but after a while it’s really fun. The street park is really nice, and well done. Bénesse-Maremne is more fun if you like trannys. The Viking Blocks pool coping is perfect and the concrete is smooth with lots of lines and quiet surroundings.
A Day in the Life of Francisco “França” Lopez – Portuguese skatepark designer
One of the leading names in Portugal is Francisco “França” Lopez.
With over a quarter century with a skateboard under his feet, father of a kid who already has amazing skateboarding in his veins, team manager of the Portuguese DC Shoes, and the architect skater with more skate parks designed in Portugal than any other is now facing one of the biggest challenges of his career: create a company to build skate parks, starting at Parque das Gerações. I spent one day with him to try to understand how he can manage all this and still rip like a kid.
New concrete: Hamburg, Germany
This skatepark is based in Hamburg, Germany and is part of the International Garden Show 2013 Hamburg. It is the most complex park ever built in Germany. We have a bowl with about 460 feet of pool coping. There is this snakerun that starts at zero and ends in a 11 foot elevated pocket.
