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…

Lozside DIY – Lausanne, Switzerland

A great adventure that started with nothing. Everybody paid for concretes bags themselves, and we build it as it comes!
No plans, no rules, just Rock’n’Roll and fun.

Graveside DIY – Hawaii

Graveside, appropriately named, sits next to a real grave yard and is in all essence a hardcore bowl to skate. The location is beautiful but still raw.

Fatix DIY – Paris

I hate my parents can still resonate in the adolescent head of the skateboarder you are. It’s perhaps still the case, but try to love your friends’ parents because they could agree to give you part of their garden to build a sort of Steppe Side style / DIY skate spot. I don’t know them but I start to love them too.

Slough Side DIY – Somewhere, Northern California

“Just wanted to submit some images and reach out for support. We got a pretty good spot going in XxXxXxX, CA. Trying to keep it as underground as possible while building as much as we can while we can. Any info on the ones who would be down to contribute would be greatly appreciated, it all helps.

Graveside Hawaii

After hearing about the unfortunate end to the first few editions of the Graveside project in Hawaii, we had to see what was going to be the next step for these die hard skateboarders… This is what we found. Graveside, October 2011
