…Bruay la Buissiere is still one of the deepest in Europe and we’ll see who’s gonna make the grind from deep to shallow end first, especially on the pool coping side.
Payne Street backyard pool – Melbourne, Australia
The last bit was filthy. It was just pure stinking sludge, frogs and lizards everywhere. Finally we cleaned it completely then we gave it a quick wash down, waited for it to dry and skated it for about an hour before dark.
Forest Row – England
Basically the story is it was built about a decade ago by a local pond builder and basically consisted of a sketchy snake run to what can only be described as the shallow end of a pool.
Axel “Pudi” Görger & Jocko Weyland – “Holz & Beton“
Starting in San Diego, hardened by the nexus of skateboarding’s emergence in the late 1950s, to Freiburg, where the virus had spread by the late 1970s, the two artists in this exhibition managed to forge, across time and space, a twenty-five year connection related to their passion for riding a simple plank attached by metal axles to four urethane wheels.

Malinas Machinas 3 – Mechelen, Belgium
This is the third year that we (G’nassis) organized the Malinas Machinas event in Mechelen. The first year we didn’t really knew what we were doing, but we knew that we wanted skateboarding, bands playing and the bowl filled up with water for a pool party. And that all ended up super good, so we decided to do it again the next year in pirate style.
