September Wheels Baltics Tour

The September Wheels summer tour has become a synonym for a great time with friends. This is why no less than 14 people met up in Helsinki last August to skate, eat, drink, sleep in tents and cross the Baltic sea. Somehow we managed to be in Finland for the hottest and sunniest week they had all summer, so we spent our days skating, swimming and sweating.

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.

Drop into the Pissrinne – Bonn, Germany

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.

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…
