The mallorcans came to skate at La Kantera. We knew about some fullpipes in a big factory in Nafarroa (Euskadi) so we went their to search out the pipes, trespass and skate them. We had a big session, short, but awesome!! We all skated the full pipes. Mission accomplished. Thanks skateboarding.
At least once a year in South Australia, Simon Sac puts on an event, this time it was different, instead of a ramp jam at West Beach, he put on a pipe jam out at a pipe in the desert.
There’s actually not much to say about this event. Just that its goal is to get together as many good tranny shredders as possible in teams of four. It’s rather a group thing where the teams skating together is better judged than individual skating – therefore some pretty weird combos. And there’s a carnival Friday night where everybody goes, hence the weird costumes on some guys.
It all started five years ago when some dude from France posted photos from the Malmö Ultra Bowl contest… One of the photos was also of me and since then I meet Fred every year and he invites me to come to France. As I was only in a few places in France in all the years, the time had come! And I’m still fully stoked – so read on…
November in Hawaii brought huge swells and an abrupt closing of the Banzai skate park on the North Shore. A closing that would supposedly help the park grow with construction.
AK-55 skateboarding is the first skate and surf hostel and school in Spain. When the project is completed it will be 1200 square meters (13,000 square feet) of pure skate! There will rooms to stay, a pool, beach and skateboarding!
The Skateboard Plaza Resthof, located in steyr/upper-austria, was created during the year 2012 by local skateboarders and friends. Our main goal was to create skateboard ramps which fit our needs.
Maurizio Dayan, Jaime Mateu from Mallorca, Oier Zabala and Borja Casas from Algorta went on a rainy day search the full pipes in a factory near Algorta. Only looking for some fun and to skate these awesome pipes, they went to the factory and skated. This is the true love of skateboarding.
The Maya pool.
Built with love.
The first time I heard about this magic place called “Cuatro Casas” was in 2009. I met my good friend Jose Noro in San Francisco for a one month road trip with the classic recipe of not having any fixed plans other than to skate, meet old and new friends and to generally see and experience as much as we can. – Lars Greiwe
When I got my first glimpse of the fullpipe back in early 1990, I was breathless. It seemed huge to me – even though you can only ride a small part of the whole heigth. It looked like the stuff I had only seen in 80’s videos from the US : vertical, concrete and gnarly. Best part of it – it was located something like a mile from my home, and it had taken me a year to figure out that there was such a thing.
WE HAVE A WINNER FOR WEEK#2: Marlon, from Royal Oaks, California. He was the closest, … Keep reading
