Velbert, Germany. Five tricks with Matze Preisser & Lukas Axmann in the Good Hope Hut Bowl

Yes, we just had a post on the new Minus park in Velbert, Germany. But, on the way back from the Bergfest in the Monster Bowl in Münster, Germany, I hooked up a ride back to Cologne we Matze Preisser and Lukas Axmann who were keen for a shred in a new concrete park they had never skated, and I had never been there and wanted to check it out myself.

Ripollet Bowl Party – Barcelona, Spain

On July 7th, a few miles from Barcelona, we had the luck to enjoy the first RIPOLLET BOWL PARTY organized by the Ripollet City Council, Gypsy Skateboarding and Adventures, Hey Ho Skateshop, Maccaroni Distribution, Bastard Clothing and Confusion DIY Magazine, to celebrate the official opening of the park.

Bowl Attack – Bryggeriet – Malmö, Sweden (part 2)

Bowl Attack 6 is a three part scandanavian bowl tour surrounding the Vert Attack 6 in Malmö, Sweden, back in January 2012. While Vert Attack 6 was going on all weekend on the vert ramp at Bryggeriet, Confusion decided to check out the bowl session that wasn’t getting mobbed by every photo-videographer and his brother, along with the live webcast, contest announcing and undercover skate groupies pretending they were reporting on the event, like that what was going on at the vert ramp 20 feet away.

Saint Lys (Toulouse), France by ZUT skateparks

Saint Lys is a super accessible bowl, perfect to learn to carve with power, perfect to make loud grinds, like all the work we do at with the ZUT CREW, we make the most from the least, from your entrails till your leather, from her womb to her skin, the building of a skatepark is a kind of love-hate relationship, and as hard as it may be to imagine, things made with love, are love…. enjoy dogs…

Cradle Rock Bowl Contest – Bordeaux, France

For the 5th time, Transfert skateshop, was organizing the CRADLE ROCK CONTEST at the skatepark in downtown Bordeaux. It’s been famous for the laid back and relaxed atmosphere and its punk attitude.

Chez Claude DIY – Toulouse, France

Our story is, I think, a great classic! Everything began two years ago, in lack of any curves in our city we decided to take our fate in our own hands and build our own spot! For that it was necessary for us to find a good place, a few kilometers later, an old caterpillar factory in the outskirts of the city would make for a good chill spot. We had the place we would start the “Chez Claude” adventure.

Scandinavian Bowl Attack series (part 1)

Confusion Magazine flew up to Copenhagen, Denmark on the way to Sweden to cover the VERT ATTACK 6 event taking place in Malmö. Instead of just highlighting the two days of the insane vert skating that went down at VA 6, we’re putting up a little “Bowl Attack” series…

New concrete: Rattingen Bowl – Germany

A new mini-bowl has just been completed in Rattingen, Germany, about 15 minutes north of Düsseldorf. According to Baum who built this in cooperation with Camp Ramps, the city wanted a “u-miniramp”, but luckily they were talked into something a little more creative that will stand the test of time…

Skatepark of Ayacucho – Peruvian concrete

When I arrived in Ayacucho, I was invited with Bruno (Concrete Dreams) and Benoit (BRUSK) to build a mini-ramp for Mama Alice, a dutch NGO which works with children and wanted an infrastructure for teenagers. I used to organize concrete skateparks workshops in Belgium, and we did the same here (http://www.brusk.be/home/spip.php?rubrique19). I met a girl and decided to come back and try to live my life here. It was four years ago now, my Peruvian child is two…

Mr. Wilson Bowl – Kassel – Germany

Ever since I started skateboarding, it was not only about standing on a piece of plywood, but also about using all kinds of readily available material to shape your surroundings in order to be able to skate them – that’s what skateboarding to me is all about. The more skateparks that are being built, the harder it gets to deliver this message to the kids. It makes a huge different if you skate something that you built with your own hands. A homemade ramp can be all shitty and bumpy but it doesn’t matter because you designed and constructed it yourself.
