After more than a year of not being able to have any gatherings and going thru lockdowns here and there, it looks like times are getting a bit better and on June 12th Montana based “Girls on shred”hosted their first women’s / non binary skate clinic in Washington state at the Coal pad DIY in the town of Glacier.
The landlord didn’t open the place for us on purpose, we we’re just an unpleasant side product that developed without him really recognizing. Now he has obviously recognized, and still tolerates the skaters, not without making things difficult for us, but this is another story.
Grind Projects put it out for every man and his dog to get creating with their DIY dreams. Best crete creation would win a free pour delivered from the Grind Projects legends. Truckstop crew came through with the goods with the most insane structure and took out the win.
It was just six issues ago that we graced the pages of this glorious magazine with our professional d.i.y. park in Glücksburg in the most northern corner of Germany. After three builds in four years we thought we were finished, but it turned out we were wrong.
With all the conspiracy theories in the world, let me tell you about one that doesn’t involve the government or aliens; The Conspiracy Bowl in New Jersey is a backyard pool that we got to shred in a sick night session.
Jacques Séguéla, a french politician once said “If at 50 years old you don’t own a Rolex, it means you messed up something in your life”. Yeah right… Enzo is quite far to be 50 yet (he’s actually only 19) and on the watch he doesn’t own, it’s only writing “NOW” anyway. Whatever, since over a year, this kid and his crew were digging, by hand, a fucking huge hole which is now probably one the best backyard pool in France ! And yep, those guys shot in one go ! God damn legends.
We couldn’t see any of the DIY from where we were, so I started venturing into the no-man’s land they created. As I got closer I climbed to the top of an unnatural hill, and from there I could see the top of the vert wall still standing.
Having the opportunity to skate the water park was like no other and I knew I couldn’t pass it up. The loop is a lot bigger and scarier in person but damn it was fucking sick! Good friends, good vibes and big water slides.
The city moves at a snail’s pace. If you can get your new build in quick enough, they might just think they’ve already destroyed it
As the frozen clutches of winter began to grip the North East, I recently drove from Pennsylvania down to Florida to find some warmth and new spots to skate.
