Skatepark Uden - SkateOn Skateparks

Over the past few months, we’ve highlighted several impressive new skateparks in the Netherlands. Today, it’s time for a special park in Uden, designed and built by SkateOn Skateparks.

What makes this park unique is the central placement of the bowl. In most parks, the bowl is tucked away to the side, but here it forms the heart of the park. Surrounding the bowl is a ring of various street obstacles, creating a smooth layout and endless lines. A well-thought-out and original design that definitely makes the Uden park worth a visit!

Skatepark Arnhem ''Blauwe Golven'' - Mud Crew Skateparks

Until recently, Arnhem was one of the last cities in the Netherlands without a proper skatepark, but that’s no longer the case. Over the past period, the Mud Crew has been working hard on a unique skatepark right in the heart of the city. Built underneath one of the bridges along the Rhine, the park is (partially) covered, which is pure gold on rainy days. Together with the skaters from Mud Crew, we went to check out the new park!

Titus Destroy the Spot Rotterdam 2021 (Kevin Tshala, Reemy Aniceta, Lars de Weerd)

This years 'Destroy the Spot' by Titus was in Rotterdam. We first started on Plein 1940 and after everyone killed that stairset, we went to the famous 'Blauwe Tien'. A big 10 stair with short and crowded run up. The weather was perfect, the participants hyped and the Woodz was also there to show you around. Enjoy!

Rambo Crew's 'Passing By'

Rambo's Passing By recently caught our attention, especially all of Lars de Weerd's footage on that gap to rail... Love how the Dutch word for a Pupecki grind is 'sterf grind', meaning 'death grind', yet here they are once again proving to us that their nation breeds humans that are superior at scooping back 180s into fakie 5-0s.

This extract from the video features Lars de Weerd, Bert Roeterdink, Jelle Maatman, Ewoud Breukink and Stephan Schuuring, and was filmed by various members of the crew + Jan Maarten Sneep.

To find out a little bit more about Lars and the Deventer boys pick up a copy of issue 32 (which should be in all good skate shops across Europe now).
