Placed To Ride - Skateparks R Us

A couple videos from Innsbruck, Austria

Epic Spots

Thrasher Magazine recently published this book - Epic Spots - The Places You Must Skate Before You Die.

The opening page shows PTR’s first project.

There was also a recent article published over at Concrete Wave on this same project.

You can flip to page 48 to begin the reads.

Site Visit To Innsbruck, Austria

Here are a few photos from a recent trip to Innsbruck, Austria. This is a park designed in 2008 by Stefan Hauser of Placed To Ride. Some of his collegues, including Hannes Sautner the project foreman, were among the builders. On inspection and a skate, I’d say they did a good job.

The city is pleased, too.

Innsbruck Video

Here is a shot of the recently completed bowl in Innsbruck.

I just received a link to this video that shows how the park rides.

The park was scheduled to be produced with asphalt and modular ramps.

This was the alternative. If you read this blog, you don’t need the introduction.

Concrete is King.
