Penthouse bowl – Switzerland
Everything started with this ramp at my parents house we skated maybe three years before I moved into my own house. I rebuilt the the ramp to use the corners again and made something that really looks like a pool.
Skateboarding
Drop into the Pissrinne – Bonn, Germany
Down in a passway, where junkies roam and people pee, skaters from Bonn brought some ramps to skate on the Saturday before Christmas. Welcome to the Pissrinne (peegully).
South Park Sofia DIY – Bulgaria
The spot is located in Sofia the capital of Bulgaria in Eastern Europe. We started building the spot about a year ago, there was only one concrete part of some structure and a lot of junk there, left from some old construction site. We started building there because there is a river and a good amount of junk for the back fill. The main idea was to build obstacles that aren’t built in Sofia and Bulgaria, like DIY curbs and kickers… The spot is built by the local skateboarders for skateboarders.

Urban Skate Project strikes again. This time the renegade crew took to the streets of Little Tokyo in Down Town Los Angeles. Any skater who has ever passed this spot wished it was skateable, and for a few weeks, it was.
Hell Curving – Un giro de esperanza
We had the will and that’s what pushed us forward. There were many times, because of interferences by the city council, that we almost stopped and gave up, but pride, strength, and our internal struggles made it possible that after 12 years, that piece of concrete hope still remians, something we built then because we needed a decent place to skate, and as a symbol of protest against a city that discriminated and labeled us delinquents, and still does to this day.
Spanish Nightmare
I got one square concrete bowl, three plastic bowls, one empty toilet, found no toilets with doors anyways, almost one selfie, a couple sandy beaches…

Brotherhood Plaza – Skarpnäck, Sweden
Brotherhood Plaza is one of the first skate plazas in Sweden with more than 1600 square meters to skate. With grass gaps, curbs, banks, hips and even a bowl this D.I.Y park is surely worth a visit. With a colorful mix of obstacles the founder, David Krug, in collaboration with Stockholm City and the local community, made sure that there will always be new lines to be discovered at the plaza. With more of an urban vibe going on this plaza is frequently visited and cherished by most skaters in the Stockholm county and also a must tour-stop for skaters passing by in the area code.
