Lots has happened and more to come. Just came back from Berlin where I had an exhibition at the Bright Tradeshow and before that I have been working with Phil Evans on his new film project about photographers.
First off we have some photos from Bright from my exhibition and Pontus film premiere in the Stasi headquarters cinema. More will follow.
The concrete is spreading and step it up a side is growing everyday. Johan Linö Waad and Pontus Alv are already miles ahead and ripping it to pieces.
Making progress in the hole. As Pontus stated in the end of his masterpiece “In search of the miraculous”, - Don’t wait around for miracles, make it happen.
Two more days left until the premiere of Pontus new film In Search of the Miraculous. The evening will start off around 21.30 and the movie will be showing at 23.00. Me and mr Alv are preparing some images that are in relation within the movie and they will be decorating the place of the premiere. Hope to see you there.
Another article of mine from the latest issue of Giftorm. This is from Pontus shoe release party and Wild in the Parks in Copenhagen and the general skating that went down in those days. Eniz Fazliov and Jo Lorenz came over and we had some great skating around Malmö and Copenhagen. Eniz is just amazing, pure talent and can skate whatever he likes.
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.

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.
