Bergfest Session 2013
Don´t miss this years Bergfest Session at the legendary Berg Fidel skatepark in Münster.
Check out some of the last years action below.
Skateboard Herzblut Photo Exibition Düsseldorf
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.

Inspiration
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.
Photography by Gerd Rieger and Axel Torschmied
Rote Flora overview
Dietsches with a thirsty frontside slash – cheers
Tim Boom, local shredder frontside air over the shallowend stairs at the Fruchtallee Bowl.
Tim has some gnarly tricks and lines at fruchtallee, fs rock on the hip
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.
