“When we first entered the room, it was a full junkyard. But now, it is really a BEAUTY. Smooth to skate, a good couch, even a decent sound system. Over a year, we were working in small steps until we completed our indoor pool. We learned with every step new ways of building, so you’ll feel it in every corner, which are all different to skate, due to the learning process.” – Nicolas Büchi

Nearly perfect.Dust was also a big problem at that time.This time, we filled it up with styrofoam. It works and is 100,000 times easier work than filling it up with stones.We did the concrete in November 2012.We did a thin layer of ghetto concete, so everything would hold together. We were not sure, if the styrofoam works so well.November 2012.Roger and Men, passionate shaping.In one day, we made the big wobbel and the new quarter.A good team, on a hard day.Marky setting the pool coping.
