30 year old snake run in Belgium

BMX’ers and skaters don’t have a beef in Belgium. Hell, they even share their websites. Bocal Mostard (translation?) is a collective of skateboarders and BMX riders. They met together to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of a snake run in the city of Liège, Belgium. It looks like there was a mass thrash, art events […]

caverne

Le coping dans La Caverene

October of last year we published some pics of a DIY concrete project in France called La Caverne that prompted one of our smart-assed readers to comment “put some coping on that shit.” Salah Mehdi sent in some pictures of just that. I don’t know if “coping” is a masculine or feminine noun, for some […]

Best of both (German) bowls

Johan Fründ put together a video titled Best of Both Bowls Contest 2008 that covers contests in some indoor bowls in Dusseldorf, Germany. Machine gun fast cuts and some great skating. Check it out. These bowls look familiar….

slovenian-phobia

Slovenian Phobia

Luka Karlin is a 15 year old skater from Slovenia whose crew put together a video called Phobia that you can watch on Vimeo. I always like to see skate spots in different parts of the country or world. There’s some cool stuff in Phobia, for example, the ramp in the top two pics has […]

Built to Skate 2008

Lat year we highlighted the Built to Skate video, and now it’s time for another look. 2008’s version is available in two sizes 320×240 and 640×480. In case you don’t remember, the Built to Skate crew in Austria (who are they? I mean, where’s the link?) spends some time pouring guerilla concrete to make found […]

Foam skateparks

More foam used in skatepark construction

I guess making a skatepark with foam for the backfill isn’t such a big deal after all. John Kehoe sent in some pictures of a park under a bridge in Holland outside of Amsterdam in a place called Koog a/d Zand. (?) It was built by a Dutch company called Carve in 2005. They cut […]

OMSA Pinup calendar

Friday T&A on S&A: Pools and P**sy

Yeah, and I am one because I’m trying to keep SnA out of the content filters. But you get the idea. The OMSA ( Old Men Skateboard Association) writes history again by publishing the first ever Skateboard / Pin up / Porn Calendar. We shot a hot naked Woman who posed in front of some […]

Gothernburg Sweden - Styrofoam skate park

Styrofoam Swedes

If you hear the words “foam” and “skatepark” together, you’d probably think of one of those tick learning pits, not a skatepark construction. I wouldn’t believe it if someone told me about it, but here are the pictures. Apparently, it’s common practice to use styrofoam (or some kind of poly foam) for fill in skateparks […]
