Brazilian Backyard Pool in Oz

The day came where he rang me saying his girlfriend was staying with some Brazilians in a house with a pool. I went over immediately and started helping him empty it…

Plymouth DIY – England

The spot is called Plymouth DIY. We decided to build something really steep and whippy because every skatepark around here is really small and mellow.

Ottone Bowl DIY – Lodi, Italy

Two years ago I started digging a pool in my town Lodi. The city authorized the skate association to do that but after a while I found asbestos in the dirt.. it’s not toxic but really harmful if you inhale it. I don’t know if you have that shit where you live, but it’s pretty big in Italy though. Somebody hid the asbestos back in the day. I quit with that. I wasted six hundred euros…

Rekalde Pool – Basque Country

Some friends of La Kantera went to visit the owner of Crossbone handmade skateboards and this pool near there house. A pool with natural water from the river. It was difficult to skate because it was wet, but this is our first trip to this pool, we want dry it, and skate it again!

An afternoon at Creekside DIY – Australia

The light was gone, the mozzies were totally taking over and the skaters were no longer in charge! And that’s an afternoon at Creekside. Fun had by all.

Sunday session: Odenthal, Germany

Deep in the countryside but not far away from the city of Cologne, lies the recently completed Odenthal Eikamp skatepark, built near a church.

Home Sweet Bowl – Northern Germany

I guess most skaters’ dream is to settle down at some point in their lives on a property with a little bowl in the backyard, or at least some kind of private shredable terrain such as an indoor miniramp.
