Cachagua Land is a must ride! Unbelievable vibe, killer area and the best hosts around. Sweet thing is you don’t need to know anyone to get in, all’s you do is make a reservation and your guaranteed to sesh. Not sure if it is, but I believe Cachagua Land to be the only Airbnb DIY destination in the world?…
“I could say I remember it like it was yesterday but that would be a lie – in fact it seems like a lifetime ago. No smartphones, no email, weed was illegal no matter what your doctor cared to write, and the strippers had zits on their asses in Portland. Looking back it seems like 1995 was a completely different world than what exists today. I mean shit was real seedy back then and modern day terms like gentrify just weren’t in the average American’s vernacular. But even without the aid of booking flights and hotels online and the fantasy of transporting legal weed we somehow still made it to Burnside that summer because we fucking had to. “Build it and they will come” may be a corny ass line from a Kevin Costner movie but in the case of the granddaddy of DIY, it’s pretty much the way it was…” – Bruce Rodela

A stupidly named 3 day tradeshow for skater owned brands, independent distributors, retailers and press.
Basque Pool Skate is a series of events in Basque Country: Gernika, Ordizia, Getxo.
They don’t come too often, but when you get word of a good pool, that one session can make up for lost time. This one kicked off with Cory who gave the Soggybones Skate Shop’s phone a bell. Thank fuck we picked up. Old mate had just emptied the pool that happened to be next door to his place. Turns out the pool had been sitting there for five months, hadn’t ever been ridden and as we found out, the transition was solid. We only had a quick window to smash it before it got pushed so we rounded up a few Soggybones team riders and mates.
Based on free entrance, cheap beer, good music bands and huge skateboard sessions, this story had started from nothing. No money to make the stage, no wood to build the skatepark, the bands were plugged on an old tractor power take-off and the park was built out of pallets and plywood found here and there, sometimes during the night when everybody was asleep! These are just a few examples of what DIY means!
