It had been 20 years since I made the trip, so I was so excited to be invited to the 1st N-MEN trip of 2021. I was giddy with excitement as I rummaged through my stuff to find what was left of my downhill/glory hole set up. What I came up with was a set of 100mm, 89A kryptonic wheels, my old ass 169’s with giant risers, and a board that was a warped from sitting for so long.
Javier Saavedra’s third “sin ollies” video installment, where he explores many tricks, but not a single ollie.
After the fullpipe and wave ramp, Ben made a new organic furniture set in his living room.
It was early August and Wonderland’s 17th birthday was coming up on September 26th. We wanted to build more on the path along Wonderland and after seeing a bunch of fox trails, we wanted to have one all the way around Wonderland. Imagining and dreaming, we spoke about a full pipe (thinking they can’t be so expensive those used for draining), so I called our sewer guy…
The mallorcans came to skate at La Kantera. We knew about some fullpipes in a big factory in Nafarroa (Euskadi) so we went their to search out the pipes, trespass and skate them. We had a big session, short, but awesome!! We all skated the full pipes. Mission accomplished. Thanks skateboarding.
At least once a year in South Australia, Simon Sac puts on an event, this time it was different, instead of a ramp jam at West Beach, he put on a pipe jam out at a pipe in the desert.
It all started five years ago when some dude from France posted photos from the Malmö Ultra Bowl contest… One of the photos was also of me and since then I meet Fred every year and he invites me to come to France. As I was only in a few places in France in all the years, the time had come! And I’m still fully stoked – so read on…
Maurizio Dayan, Jaime Mateu from Mallorca, Oier Zabala and Borja Casas from Algorta went on a rainy day search the full pipes in a factory near Algorta. Only looking for some fun and to skate these awesome pipes, they went to the factory and skated. This is the true love of skateboarding.
On a road that leads nowhere but here to Limousin, far away from the roads to southern France or the ones that lead to the mountains of the alps.
A long time project named OTRO is about to be built.
