Back to Old School 3 – Antwerp, Belgium (contest)
They say a photo is worth 1000 words.
Here’s 30,000 words and a video of the two day BACK TO OLD SCHOOL 3 event last September 11th.
Back to Old School 3 – Antwerp, Belgium (pre-contest)
A long time ago, in Anterp, Belgium the Back to Old School, 2nd edition was due to take place. Jason Parkes met me at my house in Cologne with his son Kilian. We got in my vw van and drove the 2 hours to the skatepark, where Lester Kasai and Mark Partain were warming up the day before the contest. It had been raining earlier and the park just dried up when we got there, and was practically empty, except for one of the best pool skaters in the world, and legendary 80s dominator Lester Kasai.

Backyard Pool. Bavaria, Germany
With the recent concrete developments in Hirschgarten, Heidelburg and Moos, you’d think there wouldn’t be much to update in the next months about new German ‘crete. And then bam! Baum sent in this update from the Bavarian outback – a backyard ‘made to skate’ pool he’s been working on in the backyard of Black River. Concrete coming next week! So who said there’s nothing good to skate in Germany?
Mooscrete: “The Barn” – Germany
10 years ago, old german vert ramp pro Bernt Jahnel moved in to a 250 year old farm house in the middle of the small village of Moos. He built a big miniramp in the barn and, not long after, a big vert ramp out in the forest. But there weren’t many sessions in the barn the last years he lived there. It was cold and dark and not many people were motivated to come out there.
