Hamburg Skate City

Hamburg has some rad concrete spots and is really worth a visit and if you´re lucky you might even session with Lester Kasai.
Spots to go: Rote Flora Bowl, Fruchtallee Bowl and the brand new IGS Snakerun and if you take a short drive north there´s the Neumünster Pool and a gnarly 3/4 Pipe from the 70´s.

On the way to the new IGSPark we made a quick stop at the legendary Wilhemsburg banks. Axel with a feeble.

Axel with a classic smith grind at the ISG Snakerun. This is a rad snakerun with lots of poolcoping and fun lines.

The only drawback might be the kinda high admission for the IGS. But all the other spots are free to skate.
