A few years before we found the place where we built todays little skatehall paradise including germany’s first indoor concrete bowl and a big wooden street / flow section, we had a much smaller skatehall, just a few hundred meters from our current place.
Time to wake up, it is four o´clock and forty five minutes !!! Every now and than, there is someone who films a brief sequence of our little world. And that´s what this movie is about. Little pieces of a skatessembly worker´s life. Our crew can´t wait to put the hammer down in 2014 !!! Thanks goes out to everyone who helped and made this years project become reality.
Ever since the old funbox in Hagen-Haspe got torn down the park needed a new main obstacle. With the Help of Klaas Kleinschmidt, from the Skateboard e.V. of Hagen, Ur-Haspe local Andre Neubert, and myself, we got the chance to give the park a little make over.
Martin Ehrenberger of Blackriver, designed the park based on the notion of creating a park accessible to all skateboarders – regardless of their skill level.
The chances you have heard about a tiny village one hour north of Nürnberg in the North-Bavarian outback called Neudrossenfeld are virtually zero. Designed by Blackriver Ramps and built last year together with the Yamato crew from Hannover and the legendary Baum, this park is a perfect combination of flow, street, and bowl.
Minus Ramps 8mm Film features several Minus Ramps concrete crews on their sites in Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Germany and around europe. This film is shot on super 8 mm inbetween 2006 and 2010.
The epic build came about after Robin, Arne and Bobinski met the HolyStoked dudes at the Bangalore Skatepark in 2012, but no one could have predicted how amazing this whole event / trip was going to be…
The park will be open for the public April 26th and it will be fuckin rad, and big. No steelcoping! Only pool coping in the bowl area!!!!!!
Our buddy Tadashi Yamaoda, over at KOBRAH Magazine just put out this video of a bunch of SF/Oakland bay area shredders.
Yes, we just had a post on the new Minus park in Velbert, Germany. But, on the way back from the Bergfest in the Monster Bowl in Münster, Germany, I hooked up a ride back to Cologne we Matze Preisser and Lukas Axmann who were keen for a shred in a new concrete park they had never skated, and I had never been there and wanted to check it out myself.
Lankow skatepark, located about 1.5 hours east of Hamburg in Northern Germany is one of the newest skateparks recently completed by Minus Ramps & Pools.
October 1st was a momentous day in Cologne with the opening of the first concrete bowl in Germany’s fourth largest city. Built by IOU Ramps and the local skaters of Cologne, the OWL BOWL is located at the NorthBrigade Skatepark, which has been open since the 1980s. Skaters from around Germany showed up for the opening party which was graced with sunny skies, which at this time of the year is a treat, as there was just as much chance the rain would shut down the event.
