Here Hannes and Chucky are finishing the copings.
For all you poachers out there, please stay off the concrete coping. It needs time to cure.
Dave and Cradle Nuts paid a visit this week
Street
The local kids can hardly wait!
Friday was Hannes and Ruls last day on this job, so..
It was barbecue time
Evelyn and the city look on
Resurrecting the cross
Have a little thought from an oldschooler that never had the chance to skate concrete earlier.
I am about to set up a new deck.
Do you have some recommendation on wheels.
Hard Rictas (bob burnqvist) or Rainskates yellow jackets a bit softer.

Tjena Larsa, har ett set Ricta Burnquist, de är litet småhala på betong, och superhala på trä. Inga höjdare tycker jag. Snabba, men inte snabbare än andra liknande. Vet att tex Shaun White kört på dem, så det är inga dåliga hjul. Rainskates är väldigt bra greppiga snabb hjul, funkar utmärkt på trä också. Sen är de lagom balansserade för att vara litet mjuka mot betong, men inte mjuka så de blir långsamma. Kör just nu på ett set Santa Monica Airlines Benzodrine, gillar dem mycket. Påminner om Rainskates, litet smalare bara. Är gammal oldschoolare som mest kör 50/50 och carvar, inget avancerat.

About Avesta Skatepark,
looks fantastic! Nacka is building something 2008, but it seems like they don’t really know how to build a park. They are making some kind of streetskate park in concrete. One pool though, thank god. They just came up with a space behind a soccer field, like 8 meters wide and 80 meters long: We’ll build a skatepark here! I guess people from Stockholm will have to go to Avesta to skate a real concrete park now!

Another oldie here!
I bought Z-Flex Jay Adams Pool earlier this year, and they are, in my opinion, excellent. Fast 58 mm, 97 A and very round (which it seems like a lot of wheels aren’t these days).
The choice was made because it was the only wheels I at that moment could find, that also met my requirements (~59 mm and 95-97 A). I was shopping for Spitfire Softers, also 58/97, but couldn’t find any.

sthlm skatepark throws Quicksilver Vert Invitational the 20th, so hopefully we can get the park crowded sunday (depending on the comp afterparty-effect of course!)
again, supergood designed and built park by the crew!

Tack för tipset Björn. Fick testa ett par ricta pÃ¥ trä och upplevde som du, att dom var hala. FÃ¥r nog inhandla lite nytt. Har ett set hjul pÃ¥ väg frÃ¥n rainskates dÃ¥ jag handlade en ny BDS Quad 10″ frÃ¥n honom. Gör själv comeback pÃ¥ skate scenen pga/tack vare avesta skatepark. Rock on.
