Spring arrives in Köln, Germany
The first really nice “Springtime” weather hit Cologne and the locals at the Lohseramp came out in full force, like a reunion after a long, wet, drunken winter.
Belgian Full Pipes
Last year or so ago, when Team Pain were in Belgium building the Antwerp skatepark they took a break from their hard work to investigate the rumor of some full pipes down at the harbor. The rumors were true….
Pudi’s Ramp
We crossed the Swiss-German border at sundown. “Was hast du zu verzollen?” “Ummm. Sprechen sie … Keep reading
Euskadi Skate Session
This last summer I drove in our VW bus from Germany out to Asturias, in the North of Spain, with my girlfriend to check out the land, the people, the ocean, the skate scene and the general lifestyle of the region to see if we want to move there in the future. On our way back through Basque Country, I couldn’t resist to stop in at one of my favorite skate spots, La Kantera.
Blackcrossbowl – Basel, Switzerland
While I was down staying in a hotel in an industrial shit hole of a town, Spreitenbach, which is near the grand city of Zürich, Switzerland I was contacted by Lars Greiwe and Bertrand Trichet to let me know they’d be taking care of business in Basel, about 45 minutes from where I was staying. I decided to get out of the hotel and join them for an evening in Basel and a small adventure across the border to Germany.
Impakt Crew attack Siegburg, Germany
Any given Sunday in Cologne, our crew attempts to motivate to go skateboarding. Either to the Factory/OMSA Bowl in Düsseldorf, or to the outside concrete bowl in Siegburg, Germany. We all talk about how we aren’t going to drink much the night before so we can be fit to skate the next day. That never works out. “Just a couple beers” turns into “too many beers”, and before we know it, we’re stumbling home at 4 in the morning, with plans for meeting at 1pm the next “morning” to go skate.
North Carolinan Concrete
Powells Point, up in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, is the latest in small town America to get a new concrete Skate park!
Benson Bros hit up the Parks
FDR local Adam Benson skates dirty & raw. Relocating from his home state of Delaware to California, where younger brother Colin Benson has already been lurking out in Santa Cruz for the last few years, the Benson Brothers are always up for raising havoc wherever they roam. Whether it’s the local watering whole, skatepark, or most recent DIY project, they don’t give up without a fight.
