Infernal Ramp “Grind to Grind” – 2015 – Cadiz, Spain

Comenzamos el evento presentando el nuevo DIY Grind To Grind Molten Trucks Pool Coping. Siguiendo nuestra obsesión por los ejes y nuestro culto a ellos, el nuevo Grind to Grind consistía en la fundición de ejes de skate y transformarlos en una loseta de piscina.

Pool Session 2015 – La Kantera, Basque country

This year the level in the juniors was high, all were ripping hard. In the pool sesion many people from Barcelona came and were ripping the pool. A cool session with locals too. Good moments. Skate for fun.

Rumble in the Pool – 2015 – Gmunden, Austria

We arrived at the skatepark at the Sportplatz just in time for the last beer before the bar closed… fiuuu… and we helped a bit to set up the last big gazebo, the one that saved us the next day when it started to rain. I knew that it was gonna stop, but… you know… Austria… fresh big blond beers…

Otis’ pool – Charleston, South Carolina

It was the last session of the season for them before they fill it up for swimming this summer and taking their new rolling hotel / RV on the road. Evidently it is more expensive to keep it drained than filled, the water table is high and the pump runs constantly…

Palmdale Pool Project

“The city (Palmdale) is a suburban dream turned methamphetamine nightmare. A desert retreat for all the misfits, gangsters and drug addicts from Los Angeles to find cheap housing. But as we may all know as skateboarders, these areas make a great destination for back yard pools.”

Vans Pool Party 2015 at the Combi – Orange, California

This Year the Vans Pool Party was just EPIC! These days were crazy at the Vans Skatepark at The Block here in Anaheim, California. All the best bowl skaters from all over the world were there to shred and all of them were hungry to win.

OMSA crew grinds down the NorthBrigade

Although not all these guys are officially part of the OMSA crew, skaters from Germany, Basque country and England got together for a proper shred in the newly rebuilt NorthBrigade skatepark in Cologne, Germany. Although these tricks aren’t the gnarliest you’ve seen, keep in mind most of these guys are over 45 and a couple of them over 50. Let’s see you do a double truck 50-50 grind in a tight pocket when you’re 50!

The Cutie DIY – Zürich, Switerzland
