Tsedeq Baker Fullpipe Thruster

Have you ever surprised yoursquore friends Itrsquos a pretty fun exciting feeling My good friend Tsedeq was about to have his 22nd birthday when I got a message from his girlfriend Tori that she wanted to surprise him with a trip to Burnside with all his friends So we kept it under wrap got a crew together met for a breakfast for Tsedeqrsquos bday and hit him with the surprise Get in the car and go

Our original plan was to make the 18 hour treck from FTC to Hood River Oregon but we caught wind of rain storms ruining the chances of skating in Oregon that day So we shacked up in Boise had an epic shitty breakfast at Dennyrsquos and got hooked up with Blake to skate his super fun bowl Thanks again Blake for the hospitality We arrived in Hood River that night met with Joey the Unheard rep and got a well needed nights sleep Woke up with a fullpipe for breakfast a super weird one at that

Only a short drive over the Columbia River from Hood River is the small little town of Bingen Washington Dreamland built 2 phases on this park making it a very fun park for everyone

Hood River has to be one of my all time favorites therersquos just something about flying through the trees carving doors snapping over bridges and water streams that puts a smile on my face

We made the drive to Portland that night only to be greeted by a handful of old FTC friends and a nice warm session at the New Adidas Village Private Park a bunch of fun things set up in a parking garage will never fail Thanks Kyle and Cory for hooking up the fun times

The cold and wind wasnacutet letting up so Nick Peterson got us into the Department of Skateboarding Thanks Nick this kid kills so be on the lookout for him in the new Bacon Video dropping soon

We woke up the next day to start the treck home where it was negative 10 degrees and snowing Made a mandatory stop at Multnomah Falls Then it was onto our last skate destination in Irrigon Oregon

We got to Irrigon had a fun warm session and then began the cold treck home The shittybreakfasttour was an example of how you can surprise your friend with something he will remember for the rest of his life HUGE thanks to Tori for arranging this whole trip driving and dealing with all of us And a Huge thanks to Blake Joey Nick Cory Kyle Josh Maddison Mudgett and anyone else who had to deal with us

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

And letrsquos not forgethellipvariety Therersquos pretty much every kind of backyarder represented from perfect mini-ramps frankenstein ramps backyard pools perfect bowls teeny tight bowls deep rsquonrsquo steep bowls dog bowls to flow zones etc etc and therersquos always more in the works

Brownrondo - frontside feeble Tacutes pool

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

Tsedeq Baker Fullpipe Thruster

Have you ever surprised yoursquore friends Itrsquos a pretty fun exciting feeling My good friend Tsedeq was about to have his 22nd birthday when I got a message from his girlfriend Tori that she wanted to surprise him with a trip to Burnside with all his friends So we kept it under wrap got a crew together met for a breakfast for Tsedeqrsquos bday and hit him with the surprise Get in the car and go

Tsedeq FS Air Bingen Washington

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Our original plan was to make the 18 hour treck from FTC to Hood River Oregon but we caught wind of rain storms ruining the chances of skating in Oregon that day So we shacked up in Boise had an epic shitty breakfast at Dennyrsquos and got hooked up with Blake to skate his super fun bowl Thanks again Blake for the hospitality We arrived in Hood River that night met with Joey the Unheard rep and got a well needed nights sleep Woke up with a fullpipe for breakfast a super weird one at that

Only a short drive over the Columbia River from Hood River is the small little town of Bingen Washington Dreamland built 2 phases on this park making it a very fun park for everyone

Hood River has to be one of my all time favorites therersquos just something about flying through the trees carving doors snapping over bridges and water streams that puts a smile on my face

We made the drive to Portland that night only to be greeted by a handful of old FTC friends and a nice warm session at the New Adidas Village Private Park a bunch of fun things set up in a parking garage will never fail Thanks Kyle and Cory for hooking up the fun times

The cold and wind wasnacutet letting up so Nick Peterson got us into the Department of Skateboarding Thanks Nick this kid kills so be on the lookout for him in the new Bacon Video dropping soon

We woke up the next day to start the treck home where it was negative 10 degrees and snowing Made a mandatory stop at Multnomah Falls Then it was onto our last skate destination in Irrigon Oregon

We got to Irrigon had a fun warm session and then began the cold treck home The shittybreakfasttour was an example of how you can surprise your friend with something he will remember for the rest of his life HUGE thanks to Tori for arranging this whole trip driving and dealing with all of us And a Huge thanks to Blake Joey Nick Cory Kyle Josh Maddison Mudgett and anyone else who had to deal with us

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Brownrondo - frontside feeble Tacutes pool

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now

JH no fuck no

LS Does everyone at your school know you are like sponsored Do the chicks know

JH No I normally donrsquot talk much about skating in school Skating sucks and everyone would laugh at me for it

LS What is better a pool or a DIY spot like 2er

JH Well I never really skated a legit backyard pool but 2er and Kassel are insane skateparks for DIY

Tsedeq Baker Fullpipe Thruster

Have you ever surprised yoursquore friends Itrsquos a pretty fun exciting feeling My good friend Tsedeq was about to have his 22nd birthday when I got a message from his girlfriend Tori that she wanted to surprise him with a trip to Burnside with all his friends So we kept it under wrap got a crew together met for a breakfast for Tsedeqrsquos bday and hit him with the surprise Get in the car and go

Tsedeq FS Air Bingen Washington

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Our original plan was to make the 18 hour treck from FTC to Hood River Oregon but we caught wind of rain storms ruining the chances of skating in Oregon that day So we shacked up in Boise had an epic shitty breakfast at Dennyrsquos and got hooked up with Blake to skate his super fun bowl Thanks again Blake for the hospitality We arrived in Hood River that night met with Joey the Unheard rep and got a well needed nights sleep Woke up with a fullpipe for breakfast a super weird one at that

Only a short drive over the Columbia River from Hood River is the small little town of Bingen Washington Dreamland built 2 phases on this park making it a very fun park for everyone

Hood River has to be one of my all time favorites therersquos just something about flying through the trees carving doors snapping over bridges and water streams that puts a smile on my face

We made the drive to Portland that night only to be greeted by a handful of old FTC friends and a nice warm session at the New Adidas Village Private Park a bunch of fun things set up in a parking garage will never fail Thanks Kyle and Cory for hooking up the fun times

The cold and wind wasnacutet letting up so Nick Peterson got us into the Department of Skateboarding Thanks Nick this kid kills so be on the lookout for him in the new Bacon Video dropping soon

We woke up the next day to start the treck home where it was negative 10 degrees and snowing Made a mandatory stop at Multnomah Falls Then it was onto our last skate destination in Irrigon Oregon

We got to Irrigon had a fun warm session and then began the cold treck home The shittybreakfasttour was an example of how you can surprise your friend with something he will remember for the rest of his life HUGE thanks to Tori for arranging this whole trip driving and dealing with all of us And a Huge thanks to Blake Joey Nick Cory Kyle Josh Maddison Mudgett and anyone else who had to deal with us

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Brownrondo - frontside feeble Tacutes pool

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now

JH no fuck no

LS Does everyone at your school know you are like sponsored Do the chicks know

JH No I normally donrsquot talk much about skating in school Skating sucks and everyone would laugh at me for it

LS What is better a pool or a DIY spot like 2er

JH Well I never really skated a legit backyard pool but 2er and Kassel are insane skateparks for DIY

LS 2er or Kassel

Have you ever surprised yoursquore friends Itrsquos a pretty fun exciting feeling My good friend Tsedeq was about to have his 22nd birthday when I got a message from his girlfriend Tori that she wanted to surprise him with a trip to Burnside with all his friends So we kept it under wrap got a crew together met for a breakfast for Tsedeqrsquos bday and hit him with the surprise Get in the car and go

Tsedeq FS Air Bingen Washington

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Turtle FS Air off the pillar Burnside

Our original plan was to make the 18 hour treck from FTC to Hood River Oregon but we caught wind of rain storms ruining the chances of skating in Oregon that day So we shacked up in Boise had an epic shitty breakfast at Dennyrsquos and got hooked up with Blake to skate his super fun bowl Thanks again Blake for the hospitality We arrived in Hood River that night met with Joey the Unheard rep and got a well needed nights sleep Woke up with a fullpipe for breakfast a super weird one at that

Only a short drive over the Columbia River from Hood River is the small little town of Bingen Washington Dreamland built 2 phases on this park making it a very fun park for everyone

Hood River has to be one of my all time favorites therersquos just something about flying through the trees carving doors snapping over bridges and water streams that puts a smile on my face

We made the drive to Portland that night only to be greeted by a handful of old FTC friends and a nice warm session at the New Adidas Village Private Park a bunch of fun things set up in a parking garage will never fail Thanks Kyle and Cory for hooking up the fun times

The cold and wind wasnacutet letting up so Nick Peterson got us into the Department of Skateboarding Thanks Nick this kid kills so be on the lookout for him in the new Bacon Video dropping soon

We woke up the next day to start the treck home where it was negative 10 degrees and snowing Made a mandatory stop at Multnomah Falls Then it was onto our last skate destination in Irrigon Oregon

We got to Irrigon had a fun warm session and then began the cold treck home The shittybreakfasttour was an example of how you can surprise your friend with something he will remember for the rest of his life HUGE thanks to Tori for arranging this whole trip driving and dealing with all of us And a Huge thanks to Blake Joey Nick Cory Kyle Josh Maddison Mudgett and anyone else who had to deal with us

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

And letrsquos not forgethellipvariety Therersquos pretty much every kind of backyarder represented from perfect mini-ramps frankenstein ramps backyard pools perfect bowls teeny tight bowls deep rsquonrsquo steep bowls dog bowls to flow zones etc etc and therersquos always more in the works

Brownrondo - frontside feeble Tacutes pool

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

Our original plan was to make the 18 hour treck from FTC to Hood River Oregon but we caught wind of rain storms ruining the chances of skating in Oregon that day So we shacked up in Boise had an epic shitty breakfast at Dennyrsquos and got hooked up with Blake to skate his super fun bowl Thanks again Blake for the hospitality We arrived in Hood River that night met with Joey the Unheard rep and got a well needed nights sleep Woke up with a fullpipe for breakfast a super weird one at that

Only a short drive over the Columbia River from Hood River is the small little town of Bingen Washington Dreamland built 2 phases on this park making it a very fun park for everyone

Hood River has to be one of my all time favorites therersquos just something about flying through the trees carving doors snapping over bridges and water streams that puts a smile on my face

We made the drive to Portland that night only to be greeted by a handful of old FTC friends and a nice warm session at the New Adidas Village Private Park a bunch of fun things set up in a parking garage will never fail Thanks Kyle and Cory for hooking up the fun times

The cold and wind wasnacutet letting up so Nick Peterson got us into the Department of Skateboarding Thanks Nick this kid kills so be on the lookout for him in the new Bacon Video dropping soon

We woke up the next day to start the treck home where it was negative 10 degrees and snowing Made a mandatory stop at Multnomah Falls Then it was onto our last skate destination in Irrigon Oregon

We got to Irrigon had a fun warm session and then began the cold treck home The shittybreakfasttour was an example of how you can surprise your friend with something he will remember for the rest of his life HUGE thanks to Tori for arranging this whole trip driving and dealing with all of us And a Huge thanks to Blake Joey Nick Cory Kyle Josh Maddison Mudgett and anyone else who had to deal with us

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

And letrsquos not forgethellipvariety Therersquos pretty much every kind of backyarder represented from perfect mini-ramps frankenstein ramps backyard pools perfect bowls teeny tight bowls deep rsquonrsquo steep bowls dog bowls to flow zones etc etc and therersquos always more in the works

Brownrondo - frontside feeble Tacutes pool

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now

JH no fuck no

LS Does everyone at your school know you are like sponsored Do the chicks know

JH No I normally donrsquot talk much about skating in school Skating sucks and everyone would laugh at me for it

LS What is better a pool or a DIY spot like 2er

JH Well I never really skated a legit backyard pool but 2er and Kassel are insane skateparks for DIY

LS 2er or Kassel

Denver Backyards

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS What is better a pool or a DIY spot like 2er

JH Well I never really skated a legit backyard pool but 2er and Kassel are insane skateparks for DIY

LS 2er or Kassel

JH Kassel is better built and easier to ride but 2er is rough and varied which makes it really cool Plus the culture in Hannover is amazing The container houses around are so interesting and the whole set up is great

Denver Backyards

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Okay herersquos what I think about backyarders particularly in the Denver area First of all the obvious advantage of backyarders is that they are a great escape from the crowded skateparks no scooters to dodge and no random yoo-hoos beaming ya Often they have more shade and tasty beverages to cool down or heat up the best of sessions Secondly places with alive and thriving backyarders often indicate skateboarding has a strong presence which just so happens in this pocket of the central Rocky Mountains Denver is fortunate like that

Someone once asked me ldquothere are so many perfect parks why would anyone build their own hererdquo Well I didnrsquot know what to say because as skateboarders therersquos never enoughis there The thing about backyard bowls and ramps is that they are unique and a part of the person who created it Sharing a backyard creation derived from individualism and heart is the absolute best feeling in skateboarding I think we can all agree on that Next time you are in a backyard skating someonersquos ramp or bowl be sure to give them a high five and thank you (and always bring beer) Yeah

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now

JH no fuck no

LS Does everyone at your school know you are like sponsored Do the chicks know

JH No I normally donrsquot talk much about skating in school Skating sucks and everyone would laugh at me for it

LS What is better a pool or a DIY spot like 2er

Interview by Lenore Sparks

Johannes Haist is the dumbest yet most impressive skateboarder I know Seriously I canrsquot think of anyone stupid enough to spend the entire summer travelling from contest to contest with me but yet impressive enough to win every single one of them And he did This 18 year old from Karlsruhe Germany had one helluva summer and I witnessed a great majority of it Despite his poor choice of travelling companionship he actually is not lame I couldnrsquot pay this guy to wear non-skater owned shoe brands for example He just likes skating and no bullshit Rather rare for a guy his age with his abilities

Johannes FSA over the hip

LS How come you didnrsquot call me back two days ago That hurts

JH When I was in Duumlsseldorf Yeah uh sorry man I left my phone charger at home We went there for skating but just drank so much beer

LS Saufen Geil Does anyone call you ldquoYo-mammarsquosrdquo hellipbesides me just now
