The DIY ethos is alive and well in Thailand. Local and international skateboarders have invested time and money to develop DIY infrastructure to skate. The benefits of this were particularly clear during the COVID-19 pandemic when local parks closed down and the DIY free spaces withstood the economic and social pressures brought on by the pandemic. Providing skateboarders spaces to exercise their imagination whilst a dystopian feeling of entrapment enclosed on the city. “I Think I’m Done” was filmed over the last five years after work hours and it captures skateboarding in the streets of Bangk ..read more

Two weeks on the road in a RV. From LOS ANGELES to SAN DIEGO and back again. Always in search for the best parking spot to sleep and have breakfast at.

Skateboarding during the times of closure and isolation was really something. Afterwards, trying to cope with the reality and sort of come back to normal, without skateboarding – for me it would be impossible. The last 2-3 years along with my good friend Jan Mioduchowski behind the camera, we have been working on this little skate video project. This video is also some kind of closure especially when it comes to skating at Szaber Bowl for me, it’s pretty much impossible now due to bridge renovation and it seems it will never be possible again, sad, harsh, but true, that is a DIY’s life, it’s t ..read more

“You know I only get to see this from the sideline, because it’s the Schetg Gru, the locals from Laax’s event. I personally regard it as Team Trouble‘s little bro, because they set up a miniramp in the same club that TT parties go down. Also there was some art on decks and a bit of tattooing. Just all packed in one day instead a whole week. It brings along the same great good vibed audience, just more local, yet with the same incredible afterparty!!!” Text: Alan Maag (@rollendetonne) Photos: David Bachmann Video / edit: Yves Marchon (@yvesmarchon) Music: Room Service Ramon Notz.

A concept as simple as it’s obvious: skateboarding, punk rock, screaming, bruises, and countless hangovers. You take what’s most rigid and sanitized in the Olympics and you run in the opposite way like your life depends on it. In the agenda of the first night: a mini ramp, where the safety rules ..read more

When I lived in Spain last year I wandered around various skateparks sleeping under the stars with my OcN friends, cooking on the fire and filming. Many of the clips I filmed have unfortunately been lost… and this d.i.y. project is called “Broken Part” also for this reason… but still, I decided to finish it, respecting that period that was magical as it was in every day, night, trick, trip without adding other clips outside of that time when I was to move back to Italy. But shaping the video, giving my own sense, I added an introduction about skateboarding (and not only) which is something tha ..read more
