Full pipe jam – Southern Australia

At least once a year in South Australia, Simon Sac puts on an event, this time it was different, instead of a ramp jam at West Beach, he put on a pipe jam out at a pipe in the desert.

Dumb Skateboards – Almost Eleven

“We put our best for making our 10 years video, but we failed. It’s gonna be the 11 years video. We are really good to fuck up our goals. We are not good enough to get rich and famous, but most of all we have fun.

OMSA crew grinds down the NorthBrigade

Although not all these guys are officially part of the OMSA crew, skaters from Germany, Basque country and England got together for a proper shred in the newly rebuilt NorthBrigade skatepark in Cologne, Germany. Although these tricks aren’t the gnarliest you’ve seen, keep in mind most of these guys are over 45 and a couple of them over 50. Let’s see you do a double truck 50-50 grind in a tight pocket when you’re 50!

Spit and Stone skate bash – Sondika, Basque Country – Spain

“Nothing is better than going back to the classics. If you follow the ancient recipe, the cake will stoke the heard. Skate, beers and fire. That´s the way it happened in Sondika´s bowl, Basque Country. Many riders skated during the evening of the March Saturday 7th, but just a few dared to feel the fire on their shinbones when the sun was about to set. Smoked tricks over the fire taste way better than others. Crazy dudes didn´t even care about burning their hands while they pulled down some inverts on the flamed pool coping. Soldiers and best moves got tons of gear. It was a proper way to celebrate the launch of the Spitfire X Volcom product collab with the dogs from FVCK Skateshop supervising the action. Mission accomplished.”

Proper stalefish’s every time.

Beach Burrito Bowl – Melbourne, Australia

The Beach Burrito and Pistonhead bowl is now finished, and the restaurant and bar is open. The service, food and vibes are awesome, drop in for a visit.

Team Trouble Contest 2015 – Laax, Switzerland

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.

Al Partanen. Krooked grind to fakie.

Pura Pura, Bolivia – Un, Dos, Tres, Concrete!

The park is sick. Well most of us left before we got to see it all completed which was a little disheartening, but what was there was rad. The floor is a bit ghetto in places and, in contrast, some of the ramps are professional enough to be seen on a actual official skatepark build – this kind of sums up the entire build: somewhere between a skatepark and doing a DIY job.
