D.I.Y. Skateboarding
When a dummy kid starts a nearby colossal wildfire during the prime days of summer, you still gotta gear up to get down with a squad.
Under an ashy and ominous September sky, Jivaro and friends roll the sanctuary backyards of our neighbors in Southest Portland – where preservation and imagination are one.
If boredom or hardship threaten your daily sanity, try skateboading kids.
With a recent partial destruction of the DIY, the Spanish, helped by local faces had this spot back together in no time…
After almost one year in a van, 26,000 km, about 2000€ spent on fuel, 20 different countries visited, almost 40 DIY spots skated, destroyed more than 20 decks in total, two 4 week lasting injuries, two languages refreshed, one oil change made, four car lamps replaced (not having any other troubles with the van), 2000 video clips collected for our film, as well as being in love with skateboarding every single day we are still friends. Even more than one can tell. For us that was the ultimate skateboarding experience that will never be forgotten.
We built a 650 square meter park in 18 days, and even though it was completely d.i.y., so to say, and took place in one of the poorest countries of the world, we manged to finish with a high quality product even three days before the official opening. Wo/manpower is all you need to make things happen…
Dowgy Allee – “This is like our own dog park and we’re the dogs. All we want is our own little place to have fun where, like dogs, we don’t bother anyone and nobody bothers us.”
If you’re into beer, hot dogs, decked rocks and tent cities Kenny’s backyard bash is the place to be. This year’s contest brought rippers as young as 11 from all over Colorado and the surrounding states to skate.
On the 23rd of April, was held the 3rd annual Beaulieu DIY Jam in the South of France. Skaters from all around, gathered in the old quarry to enjoy the Hang-Up crew’s newest concrete creations.
