The IGS skatepark in Hamburg is one of a very few parks in Germany with lights and with the days getting shorter quickly that is a very nice feature. After a session at the Fruchtallee bowl Wolfganster and I headed over to the IGS for second session and we ran into two legends from Hamburg Jan Waage and Robert Wolff, hadn´t seen those guys for like 20 years!
Everybody was stoked and we had a great session and a few brews after.

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.

Eric Möller, has the Fruchtallee Bowl dialed, speedy lipslide over the shallow stairs.
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.
