Zgoša spot was found by accident when a local was searching for a nice quiet spot to bang his girlfriend. At the first glance of the perfect spot under a highway bridge his focus shifted from sex to sk8 as he saw the potential for a DIY.
Tada’s show “Dick Skinners” was something I was looking forward to for a few weeks. At least ever since I knew it was going to be in Basel. So we jumped in Juli’s VW and off we went.
The notorious LITTLE SWASTIKA is re-creating his previous diy pool project, Maya Pool in his new spot called Psyland in southern Germany. There’s a lot of digging going down each day, and in the evening Marc (aka Little Swastika) has his Kritzerl Krazel art show at the Neuwerk großser Saal in Konstanz, Germany, where he will be doing a massive back piece tattoo on four people, open to the public to experience this live art tattoo performance piece.
Starting in San Diego, hardened by the nexus of skateboarding’s emergence in the late 1950s, to Freiburg, where the virus had spread by the late 1970s, the two artists in this exhibition managed to forge, across time and space, a twenty-five year connection related to their passion for riding a simple plank attached by metal axles to four urethane wheels.
AK-55 skateboarding is the first skate and surf hostel and school in Spain. When the project is completed it will be 1200 square meters (13,000 square feet) of pure skate! There will rooms to stay, a pool, beach and skateboarding!
It´s been around ten years ago since I first met Fernando. He was visiting our common friend, Pipas, in Switzerland and they came over for a skate session in the barn. We did not talk much back then and we didn´t have a real connection. He was mostly sitting somewhere drawing in a notebook, while everyone else got stoned when not skating. When dinner time came he sat on the side picking a raw cabbage and I remember asking him what was up with that. He told me he was as a raw foodist and how he got into that.
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.
