Wrex Cook – Built to Skate
“What can one say about my best friend? He eats sleeps and breathes skateboarding. If he couldn’t be enveloped in skateboarding, I truly believe he would dry up and turn to dust. His entire life has been dedicated to progression through ideas and fruition. It all started with exploring on his bike with a milk crate and to this day, he is still constructing skate obstacles and teaching people how to take their skateboarding destiny into their own hands through doing it themselves…” – Kim Cook
SAN DIEGO (a missed box in a whale’s vagina)
Some underground rippers, a couple old men with pads, some surfers, a chick, has-beens & never-beens, and only a few pros.
Hell Curving Party 2012: Guineueta – Barcelona, Spain
Twenty years of Guineueta skatepark and next year is the 10th anniversary of the corner me and my friend Dany built… Barcelona didn’t have any skateparks, everything was shit and we needed to build something to skate a real one… that was the idea of building that D.I.Y.
To Build a Beast: DIY Skateboard Pool – Zürich, Switzerland
This is the story of The Beast. Our own DIY Skateboard Pool in Zurich/Switzerland. A summer of hard work to fulfill our dream of a skateboarding a pool in a former soccer stadium.
Velbert, Germany – skatepark checkout + mini skate tour
We hit Velbert just after it was finished. There was a big hole in the deep-end that was not closed which limited our lines a little. But overall, the bowl is realy nice to skate. Crazy lines with the bump in the middle and a nice mix of different transitions. Pool stones in the deep-end and some stairs in a quick corner.
Båstad skatepark, Sweden
It has a 1.8m deep pool, road barrier hip, flat bank hip, and a speed track around the pool. Heaps of fun.
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…
The Maya Pool Sessions
The Maya pool.
Built with love.
GREAT DESERT POOL DUEL – Palmdale, California
Normally I hate skate contests. In California most skate contests are held in skate parks. While the terrain in California skate parks may be ok, skate parks seem to only exist to keep skateboarders concentrated in one area so to make it easier city officials to keep an eye on skateboarders. Add to the mix too many people, pad nannies, fences, and the like, I prefer to keep as far away from contests as possible.

Rampenlicht Project – Berlin
The first phase of the project begins with the construction of the focal piece: a triangular skateboard ramp, which will be extracted from its ‘natural’ environment and modified to serve a different purpose than originally intended. It will be a symbol of harmony within the collective, and at the same time a symbol of disharmony within today’s society. It is representative of the main topic of the exhibition and will therefore be the central point of the happenings.Around this piece of carpentry, the collective will create an atmosphere that opposes a dystopian, exaggerated reality with a surreal dreamlike utopia. Various forms of contemporary art, such as painting, videography, photography, sculpture, installation, etc., will be used to reach this goal.
