The inauguration of the new section of Les Abattoires Skatepark (the Slaughter House Station) was on the 19th of March in Fribourg, Switzerland with the premier of Pontus Alv’s new film “I like it here inside my mind, don’t wake me this time.
Juan, Jamie and me were skating this DIY under a bridge in Martigny, Vallis Switzerland. Some local skaters showed us the spot and Jamie tore it a new asshole…”
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.
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.
We went to Basel, it was fucking hot, so we skated at 3am in-between swimming in the Rhine and we got drunk and slept in at the bowl Jamie and Oli fucking killed it.
There’s actually not much to say about this event. Just that its goal is to get together as many good tranny shredders as possible in teams of four. It’s rather a group thing where the teams skating together is better judged than individual skating – therefore some pretty weird combos. And there’s a carnival Friday night where everybody goes, hence the weird costumes on some guys.
The Beauty was our beloved indoor Pool in the Autonomous Beauty Salon in Zürich. Since the squat got evicted in spring 2014, we started to plan for a new winter spot.
The decision, to build our own concrete dream was already made – all we needed was a good space.
