We decided to bring together chefs, artists and obviously skateboarders during a brand new event at La Digue, our DIY spot in Toulouse, France.
Jacques Séguéla, a french politician once said “If at 50 years old you don’t own a Rolex, it means you messed up something in your life”. Yeah right… Enzo is quite far to be 50 yet (he’s actually only 19) and on the watch he doesn’t own, it’s only writing “NOW” anyway. Whatever, since over a year, this kid and his crew were digging, by hand, a fucking huge hole which is now probably one the best backyard pool in France ! And yep, those guys shot in one go ! God damn legends.

After negotiating with my mum about doing some concrete instead of wood in the barn, we finally had a green light to get started.
In 2018, the YCM crew was already more experienced, so we built even more, including a mini version of the Hirschgarten pool, a bowl, and the now famous Hell’s gate: 3,25m high with over 60cm of vert, all hand stacked (never again !).
This movie shows the construction, the ride and the destruction of one of the biggest DIY skatepark build in Grenoble, France.
Everything started in the winter of 2012, there were a few of us, we were about 15-16 years old, a small band looking for a wasteland or a shed to build a spot.
