1st Floor indoor DIY – Lublin, Poland

1st Floor is the biggest concrete indoor DIY spot in Poland and probably in whole Europe (*see editors note at bottom). It is located in Lublin, a city in the eastern part of Poland.

Jacek Harasimiuk, a local skater, put a bunch of photos from that day on his blog.

D.I.Y. Corner – Switzerland

Hot shit: Mark Radden

My name is Mark Radden,
I pretty much skate mental,
I am of the species they call human,

So far nothings faded me yet.
