Marginal Way DIY: Seattle, Washington
Marginal Way started as a one ghetto little quarter pipe against the wall under Highway 99. It was one of the only covered spots to skate in Seattle. Bums and garbage was pretty much all there was before the creation of Marginal Way, as the people came together the freeway under pass diy spot started to grow.
Luxemburg – Full pipe and Ditch session
When I got my first glimpse of the fullpipe back in early 1990, I was breathless. It seemed huge to me – even though you can only ride a small part of the whole heigth. It looked like the stuff I had only seen in 80’s videos from the US : vertical, concrete and gnarly. Best part of it – it was located something like a mile from my home, and it had taken me a year to figure out that there was such a thing.
Mellow Park DIY: Berlin, Germany
The session at the brand new D.I.Y spot at the Mellowpark in Berlin was amazing. Lot’s of riders from all ages and all over Europe came together to skate this epic place. Not even a heavy dump could stop the session. Free drinks and BBQ made the day perfect!

Sihlside Spot. D.I.Y: Zürich, Switzerland
A year ago, we started with a small concrete quarter pipe. We didn’t know how long it would stay there, so we were really happy with our little spot. After a while, we built up a wobble and a china bank and still, no one teared it down. So we went big and built a corner, complete with Pudi’s Pool Coping.
