Skateboard Herzblut – not a motto from a random marketing department. More a try to put a feeling in words that some old skateboarders may experience after many years on board. Being on road trips with friends, seeking for new spots or may be just cruising down the street in the local town. Many of the ones that started in the 70’s and 80’s kept skating on while beginning a “established” life in parallel – which often lead to contradicting but quite welcome contrasts in their lives. Others got themselves actively involved, contributing and forming todays scene by establishing skateboarding companies, building skateparks, founding skate mags or doing graphic design, producing movies or making photos. Axel Torschmied’s photos show skateboarding, skateboarders and spots from Spain to Sweden trying to tell some of these anecdotes.
