This was one of the best spots we had here in Malmö. It was up and running with just two barriers first and that lasted a few years but as soon as we started to develop the area properly the fun was over. We had a sick barrier spine, barrier spine to bank on the other side, two quarters to wallride with a channel in between, a nice bank to wall with hips on the bank and this fantastic slider bank thing. Oh boy it was good.

It feels like a long time ago but it was only last summer we finished the skatepark in Sibbarp. Ben Schroeder was in town for the Bowlriders and came by the construction site to have a look and to have a skate. Ben Schoeder is pure entertainment to watch. Gnarly and powerful.

Not sure what you are wishing for christmas yet? I’m getting one of these. The vest that is. Seriously.

On probably the last possible day for skating outside this year here in Malmö me and Pontus went yesterday to pay this legendary Malmö spot a visit. The spot has been there in the back of the mind for 20 years and finally it’s been dealt with in a proper manner. Great feeling to deal with such a challenge and come out victorious.

Went to see Phoenix play at Vega in Copenhagen yesterday and boy oh boy it was good.

Summer is over and we sold all our boards. In the meantime while we wait for the boat to arrive with the new shipment of Semesters, we can check out the best frontside ollies in the business from Andreas Snoken Lindström. Läckert as we say in swedish!

Here’s a shot that didn’t get used for the swedish farmer series with mr Alv we did for Kingpin magazine.
