Copenhagen Royals bowl Dec 2011

We finally got this one finished. And wow is all I can say as far as the quality of finish we put into it.

This was the last ramp of this year and was the one with the most expectation attached to it. And lets face it, as soon as skatelite is the final layer choice the stakes are raised for the ramp builder. It is much harder to work with and very expensive when mistakes are made.

We decided to get all fancy with this centre pice as it was just too nice not to make it a bit more rad. We ran another tone of skatelite through it to give it a very unique look and finish to it. These lines though are very useful from a practical point of view as it gives some definition lines to the overall shape as you roll through it at high speeds.

It was a serious ball buster to get that volcano surfaced and required a step back from it every so often to assess the situation. It felt so good to get it finished as it was a painful pain in the ass!

Welcome to the suck!! haha . I think this was very very late at night when everybody went home but when there is an event deadline coming up in a matter of days we don`t all have the luxury of going home.

I`m particularly proud of how this rolled hip worked out. The coping is perfect and the skatelite finish is beautiful.

Went with a different style of surfacing technique on this one. Went with a bit of a twist which was a good choice. Its nice to see a few different styles running through the one ramp.

The Event day finally came which meant the ramp was finally finished.. wooohoo. The comp was to kick off at 6 pm but we were still finishing the ramp at 6.15 pm. But according to all the skaters they thought it was amazing to see the ramp still being finished minutes before they got to get their shred on.

The skate comp was amazing and it is always fantastic to see stuff you have made being sessioned. Quick edit on the comp coming soon. Theres Kasper in the shades.

Here`s Peter and Aspen from Royal taking it easy with a beer after the party ended. Cheers guys for putting on a fun session.

Here is another reminder of the suck!!!

Thanks to everybody who was on this job and helped out in their own way. Kasper,Travis, Ryan C, Mark, Keld, Thomas Hvass, Jesper, Allan and Jonas. Cheers dudes. F

Bowl Corners the Nike Pool/ LONDON

I just returned from probably the most interesting project I have ever been a part of. The Nike Pool build in London. It was basically an old public swimming pool that was being knocked down, the building and all, to make room for a new one next door.

(the pool had to be drained very very slowly actually as it was possible that the whole building could come down if done too quickly)

So NIKE took the place over and turned it into this.

It was quite a big crew for this one as the park design was pretty complicated and the site itself was very awkward to get materials in and out. But shockingly after only 6 days from the time the pool was drained the park was completed and painted. AMAZING!

The crew was made up of about 14 germans, 1 american(Ryan Corrigan) and myself. Pretty much the same crew as for the barcelona mission but unfortunately Axel and Perico were not on this one.

Heres Ryan doing a walk abouts after the build looking for another view for a pic. Myself and him were all over the corners and weird shapes again.

I really like the pool details that were left around the park. The place looked awesome.

Myself and Ryan had just finished this last section while the others were painting around us. Its still hard to believe we pulled this whole thing off in 6 days.

The Germans were great workers as usual and absolutely crazy fun. On the last day after the painting was finished they painted themselves blue and ran around the park skating and riding. They even lined themselves up side by side on the deck of one of the ramps while some of the other guys proceeded to wall ride them and do tire taps.

I did a power tourist trip on the last evening over there and got to see quite a bit of london in a few short hours. Nice place.

ESTONIA/ Simpel Session Competition

X-HALL Bowl/ COPENHAGEN

Hørsholm Kommune/ DENMARK

This park was alot of fun to make. Its main area of design was the mini ramp-plateau section. You can never go wrong with a mini ramp.

It is an all timber construction with a Skatelite finish.

The street section area consist just 2 main parts in each corner. A China style bank thing and a decent sized hip.

Corners in BARCELONA

This park was designed and built for the NIKE6.0 BMX competition held in Barcelona. Our job was to mainly handle all the bowl corners and weird shapes in the design. Great looking park that rode very well was the result.

2010 Roskilde cultural award winner

It has been alot of work all round but eventually the place got recognised for the heroic effort that was involved in getting it to where it is today. Of course there is always room for development and improvement so come the summer time we are going to re-design 25% of it again.

Street stuff

This is sitting in Copenhagen Royal skatepark. Designed by Simon and Brent.

Built by R-R.

Stone tile finish along with square coping edge.

Royals Bowl/ COPENHAGEN

This is Royals mini bowl we helped put together. We had no design influence in this but we built all the corners and hips and installed the stone pool coping.
