Southern SwedenA Roadtrip to Malmö and Göteborg

In the week after Easter we took off for a little road trip to southern Sweden.After a 4-5 hour drive from Hamburg we arived at Stapelbäddsparken in Malmö on a nice and sunny afternoon. We sessioned the park and the keyhole pool for a few hours and met up with John Magnusson who showed us the new DIY project at Sibbarp Park.This is a smaller park compared to Stapelbäddsparken but a really fun one.It has little weired trannies and curbs everywhere and the locals just added a new1/4 pipe for some airtime. As the sun was setting we had a beer by the beach a enjoyed the nice view.

For day 2 of the trip we had planed to drive up to Göteborg to meet up with our friend Axel from skateanddestroy.de and skate the new Action Park that was built by Stefan Hauser and crew.On the way we made a reststop in Falkenberg and also checked out thecontruction site of a new park that Ben Schroeder is building.The next stop was just a little later when we tried too find an old 70´s bowlthat I skated around 1980 and again in 87.

The AREA 51 Skatepark is located inside a hill and the tunnlesystem was usedby the SKF bearing company for production during WW II.But nowadays there´s all kinds of ramps and bowls in the labyrinth like tunnels of AREA 51.

“THE PIcTuREBOOKS”, BuDWEIS HOSTEL, EARLY In THE MORnInG

When 3 skaters from Marseille, France ask you to join them on a skatetrip, you don‘t spend time second guessing, you pack and hit the road. Marseille has a great skate-park and many locals don‘t bother skate somewhere else. Too bad for them when Sweden is the destination, specially when one of the party is half Swedish.We headed to stockholm, jumped in a hired German car and went straight to a spot extravaganza in 4 days we skated the bjorns tradgard skatepark in Stockholm down-town, the Stockholm skatepark, an indoor facility with a huge vert ramp, a nice and large mini whith a hip and a small peanut bowl with pool coping, the Avesta skatepark, a huge concrete thing in the middle of the country (aprox a hundred kilometers from Stockholm) including a street park and bowls really well made and finaly a wooden private bowl with a clamshell in an industry zone. The country itself is very quiet, we enjoyed having a sauna in the house, we felt like locals, and since three of us were way past their forty years old it was a great way to rest and get some strengh for the upcoming session.We met a lot of great people and are ready to spend another week there, roadtrips are the best, those who stays at home choosing to be the king of their spot are really mis-sing the best part of skateboarding.

München The Keyhole Skatepark, Samstag 26.07.2008:

ca. 32 Grad im Schatten, Bowl Fahrer aus Deutschland und Österreich, 2 Pools, gute Laune und jede Menge krasse Tricks im Deep- und Lowend – München, The Keyhole Bowl: 3 Stunden Session in der Mittagshitze, Fotografen und Filmer die jeden Trick einfangen und Tobi Albert mit über Kopf hohen Airs über die Hips.Tobi gewinnt vor Thilo nawrocki und Oliver Gorden auf dem dritten Platz konnte durch jede Menge Airs, schönen Grinds und viele Doubles mit diversen Deutschen und Öster-reichischen Skatern überzeugen.Das neue contest Format – eine zwei bis drei stündige, offene Session – wurde von al-len Fahrern gut angenommen. Alle können ihre härtesten Tricks versuchen, so dass die zuschauer, Fotografen und Filmer voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Auch das Bewertungs-system – die Teilnehmer bewerten sich selbst – ist eine sehr faire Sache.

Oschatz Landesgartenschau, Samstag 02.08.2008:

Erst Regen, dann Sonnenschein, 2 Stunden contest Session mit Jürgen H., Kevin W., Thilo n., Daniel B., und viele gute Lokals aus der nahen und ferneren umgebung. Bifi fuhr entspannt wie immer und landete auf dem sechsten Platz. Daniel Beck zeigte Backside und Frontside Smith am visor und Dennis Ortmann fette Backside Ollies und Frontside Airs. Jürgen konnte den contest wegen eines Muskelfaserrisses leider nicht bis zum Schluss skaten und wurde somit Dritter. Thilo sicherte sich mit fetten Modan-nas über den großen Spine, hohen Airs über die Hips und unendliche vielen Flip- und Grindkombinationen den zweiten Platz. Gewinner Kevin überzeugte durch 540 Bone-less, Handplants, Millerflips im visor, Airs im Deepend, crailslide im visor und ewig langen Stay On Runs …Alles in allem war es ein sehr schöner zweiter Tourstop mit viel Spaß, sehr vielen guten Tricks und einem guten Ansager – Mack Mc Kelton. Danke an alle Beteiligten die diesen Tag möglich gemacht haben: Skater, Ansager, Sponsoren, veranstalter, Filmer, Fotografen, Medienpartner, dem Platsch Erlebnisbad und natürlich den zuschauern ….

20 Years of the Monster Bowl

the Monster Bowl also know as the Berg Fidel Skatepark is celebrating it´s 20th anniversary this year.There have have been some rad sessions over the years with skaters from all over the world. When the Monster Mastership contest was still in Münster one could witness some heated sessions with the top pros shredding the pool and snake run.names like Hosoi, Miller, Gator, Stratton, Burnquist, Way come to mind doing amazing tricks and lines.Steve claar lived in Münster for a while in the early 90´s and did the highest ollies over the channel and not to forget Lee Ralph skating barefoot doing smith grinds in the pool.More history and a feature of the 20th anniversary party - the Bergfest -in the next issue.
