D.I.Y. Skateboarding
The epic build came about after Robin, Arne and Bobinski met the HolyStoked dudes at the Bangalore Skatepark in 2012, but no one could have predicted how amazing this whole event / trip was going to be…
Regensburg is a city located in southern Germany known more for its medieval city center and less for its relatively small but close knit skate scene. Winter can be long and ugly around here and until 2012, the usual place for some of the best winter-sessions was Markus’ flat, which he turned into a skater’s wet dream.
This is a love story about Binz and Pumpa and true rippers, starring Boldriders and R.O.W. Skateboards… STAY ORGANIZED!!
The spot is located in the small village of Jaklovce in the east of Slovakia. The skateboard scene in this area is built on common efforts and these efforts are strong…
On arrival I don’t think anyone really knew what we were getting ourselves into for the following week back in early June in Hannover, Germany. The basic concept was that the 2er [tsvi-er] crew had the idea to invite D.I.Y skate crews from all corners of Europe to come to their spot and each team would be given three days to build something.
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.
Here is the history of a little 500 square meter skate park that we built last autumn in Girona, Spain out of mostly recycled materials.
This all began for me at the luxurious point at which £20,000 of funding had already been secured by a local skatepark development worker, however it became clear that the funders didn’t actually want to part with the money for various reasons and seemed pretty negative when they realised I had half a clue as to how to pull this off!
PARISITE DIY is the skate park of New Orleans. It is located on and
named after Paris Avenue. Formed in 2012 after the demolition of, “The
Peach Orchard.”
“What can one say about my best friend? He eats sleeps and breathes skateboarding. If he couldn’t be enveloped in skateboarding, I truly believe he would dry up and turn to dust. His entire life has been dedicated to progression through ideas and fruition. It all started with exploring on his bike with a milk crate and to this day, he is still constructing skate obstacles and teaching people how to take their skateboarding destiny into their own hands through doing it themselves…” – Kim Cook
