Alex – Individual Equality

In death, everyone is equal, and yet every death is individual. “Individual Equality” was the title Dleks (Alex Hasert) had planned for his exhibition before he met death on October 11, 2024. Artist, poet, skateboarder, friend, lover. Struggling with the world and full of love for his loved ones. Laughing into the abyss. These words can also be used to describe his works, often gloomy at first glance, but usually conceal another hidden side.

Looking around FDR and seeing nothing but queens — and I mean only Queens — fired up, ripping in every direction, nearly running into each other, stoking each other up, and just straight going for it, reassures the female presence at DIYs (especially FDR) is well worth paying attention to. The energy is there. It’s authentic. It’s intense.

Las Chicaz in the Nude

This year ‘Las Chicas’ had their gathering at the one and only Nude Bowl in desert hot springs. All crews had their tents pitched up and got ready to shred. On the first day during the day the skate conditions were favorable, but on the second day the afternoon clouds rolled in and light droplets of H2O started to come down and were persistent all through the night.

R.I.P. Ryan “Frenchy” Franciose

Frenchy was a skateboarder idolized by his peers. His unique take on skating and life was against the grain. From his loose ass, barrier shredding, trucks. To his odd music taste ranging from Kris Kristofferson to Yin Yang twins. He always had a cold Coors in his hand and a smile on his face. Beers and Barriers in the Great Beyond!!
