Malmö, Sweden – DIY WEEKEND (Part II): Bryggeriet + Sibbarp
…I awoke on the hardwood floor, my neck severely tweaked from my short but heavy slumber on the floor. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee thickened the air, enough to motivate me to my feet. Outside the sky hung neutral grey, a dense wet mist, leaving the ground wet. Outdoor skateboarding was canceled for the day so it was off to the indoor wooden skate facility of Bryggeriet for the day’s activities.
Malmö, Sweden – DIY WEEKEND (Part I): THE HOLE
We had been invited up to Sweden for the DIY Sibbarp Skate weekend over a month before but as the weekend drew near, the first Issue of Confusion was still not off to the printers and I almost canceled the trip. But my old saying is “It’s better to go and regret going, than not going and regret not going.” And I never regret it. So we closed down the Confusion offices on Friday morning, caught the train to the Köln airport and 2 hours later we arrived in Copenhagen airport.
IMPAKT SKATEBOARDS – Belgium Tour
We headed out on the road Friday evening with a good part of the IMPAKT SKATEBOARDS team in Captain Road Hog’s van, with only 2 hours to our destination of Brussels, where we would stay at the Brusk Collective’s house in central Brussels. Beers were cracked, the dudes were freaking out with the excitement of our weekend trip to Belgium.

Guerrila Graffiti – Brussels, Belgium
The night before the Fiesta Des Ursulines, we skated from the Brusk den downtown Brussels to watch Bonom paint a building. We got there right in the beginning and about 90 minutes later, the Gorilla was born.
Cachagua Land update
Zarosh sent me an updated from his Cachagua Land DIY Project, deep in the Carmel Valley.
“The pool is ready, we just need some concrete. Donate to cachagua land and support the idea of grass roots skateboarding”
Brusk Collective’s: Fiesta Des Ursulines
Brusk Collective from Brussels, Belgium recently hosted the “Fiesta Des Ursulines” in the Square Des Uruslines where 4 years ago they completed their social-urbanistic project with the completion of their first concrete bowl and street skating area. They invited part of the Consolidated team (Roberto Alemañ, Sean Gutierrez, and Danger), to celebrate the release of their collab Brusk/Consolidated board. Roberto would come up from Spain, and Sean & Danger would make this event the beginning of 6 months in Europe, where they are building a new park with Grindline in Copenhagen.
