of the I-Punkt Skateland in Hamburg from it´s beginings in 1990 till 2000.
There´s many funny and interessting stories from Tim Payne who built the bowl to the Death Box/Flip team causing some havoc…
Photographer Jonn Rübke captured everything from day one and dove deep into the archives to
show the most memorable images.

Review

Got this nice little speaker from Carhartt the other day. It´s small enough to fit in your bag while traveling to the next contest or session and will boost up the sound of your IPOD or IPHONE or any other mp3 device.
It´s not HIFI but it´ll do i the job listenling to your music without headphones and sharing it with the ohthers.

Made For Skate

Jürgen Blümlein of the Skateboardmuseum send me the brand new 2nd edition of the Made For Skate book.
The book shows the history of the skate shoe from the begining to today with great photos of well worn shoes and stories from world’s leading skateboarders past and present, including Stacy Peralta, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Lance Mountain, Natas Kaupas, Pierre André Senizergues, Don Brown, Claus Grabke, Tim Gavin, Mike Vallely, Ed Templeton, Chad Muska, Arto Saari, Adrian Lopez and Paul Rodriguez, together with leading shoe designers and artists including James Arizumi (Nike SB), Brian Reid (Osiris), Jeremy Fish, Andy Howell and Todd Bratrud.
This is definitly worth checking out and also available for your ipod etc. but it´s much nicer to have real book in your hands of course.
