A sunny weekend in Barcelona is a tough act to beat, drop in 15 top AMs, a kicking sound system and a concrete skatepark next to the beach and you would be hard pushed to top the finals of the Nike SB Barcelona AM at Skate Agora, Saturday.
The finals format was simple – 5 x 3 man, 3 minute, jam format heats. With only one visit to the park for the skaters there were no opportunities to play around for anyone who was hoping to end the day with a pocket full of prize money.
Mathias Torres from Chile passes by Barcelona every few months and has clearly got feel for local lines, showing smooth flow and smashing an inward heel down the stairs, but the standard was high at the Badalona park. Gustavo Ribeiro, a second place finalist from last year had his eye on taking a step up the podium by bringing home a bigspin fs blunt to fakie down the rail but couldn’t hold the rest of his run together enough to retake a top spot.
Justin Sommer’s skating over the last couple of days showed he was going to make a point and demonstrated the fact by bringing a hard flip front board on the rail to the party and closing down 3rd spot. Last year’s winner Jorge Simoes was back in the final mix, on form and looking good for the double, snapping into a frontside ollie to switch krook on the volcano and taking a bigspin fakie nosegrind to the bump to ledge. Young Tim Debuche, 15 from the south of France, had other plans though, and a 360 flip lipslide to fakie and kick flip to front nose grind on the bank to ledge was enough to turn the judges heads and award him the overall title.
1st Tim Debuche / 2nd Jorge Simoes / 3rd Justin Sommer

The European capital of skateboarding, the proving ground for AMs, Barcelona, once again blessed us with sunshine and a perfect temp for the qualifiers of the Nike SB Barcelona AM on Friday afternoon.
Many of the skaters who had travelled into Barcelona, got in the mood for the heat rounds with a classic ‘Hill Bomb’ from the top of the city down to the newly opened Barcelona Box creative space situated on Barceloneta Beach.
Stadium bleachers and screens set up around The Skate Agora skatepark in Badalona down the coast, added to the intense session atmosphere as the 120 registered skaters from across the globe threw down for the biggest AM skate event on the continent.
With only 20 skaters advancing through to the semis to meet the 20 pre-qualified riders, 3 man, 3 minute heats flew through in a blaze of fierce skating.
15 made the cut for the Saturday finals that saw a bunch of big hitters missing the grade in the insanely tough field.
Getting through with some man size lines, was Londoner Casper Brooker alongside Norwegian child prodigy Jonas Carlson, who showed the flow maturity of a skater a decade his senior. The top three from the semis were Didrick Galasso with trademark relaxed effortless cool, Mads Christensen solid and textbook as ever and going through in the top spot big man Alexander Risvad showing super consistency throughout the day.
Full list of results
For those that didn’t qualify there was consolation in the fact that they could let loose in town and take in the launch of the Marcel Veldman’s solo exhibition ‘Definitely Not the New Fluff Exhibition’ - skateboarding in its purest form.
The overall winner will also leave with a ‘ticket to fly’ pass getting them an invite to the Nike SB Berlin Open at the end of July

Youssef Abaoud
Designer & Constructer
Levi’s® Skateboarding proudly presents: ‘The Byrrrh & Skate Project’, a local DIY skate build in an old factory close to Gare du Midi, Brussels, designed and constructed by Youssef Abaoud; a local skater from Dour, Belgium.
First started 3 years ago, following the closure of the infamous Roller Park in Anderlecht, Belgium, skateboarders were left with nowhere to go when the weather turned bleak. Trying to find an empty, sheltered spaced space without security guards was tough, and skateboarders were shunned everywhere they went. Because of this, Youssef started collecting scraps of wood, waste materials as well as old skate ramps and built a number of pop up DIY ramps in old abandoned buildings to enable him and his friends to skate during the winter months.
This was around the time that local skateboarders found themselves having to build places outside of the city so that they wouldn’t get caught by the local authorities. Not long after the Roller Park closed, some skateboarders built a DIY spot under a motorway with cement which was a cool idea but was hard to skate and even harder to get to if you didn’t drive. Throughout this time there were also lots of DIY attempts around the city where local skateboarders would assemble miniramps in their favourite spots but you had to know the right people, in the right space, at the right time to drop in.
One day whilst on a job in Laeken, Youssef came across an abandoned warehouse that he used to work in. It was empty, dry, lit-up, had smooth floors and was vacant until further notice. Over a number of weeks, Youssef and his friends set up some ramps and as word started to spread, more and more people were eager to visit and lend a helping hand. This was the start of The Byrrrh: a name that was founded from a sign that hung over the doorway of the warehouse; a popular French aperitif.
The Byrrrh was a space open to all and all that was asked for in return was a couple of euros to keep the ramps in shape and the fridge stocked. For two winters The Byrrrh was going strong until the property had a change in ownership and everyone had to vacant the premises.
The second phase of The Byrrrh took place further afield in Evere; a quiet suburb more commonly known by the skaters as a place to skate marble forecourts and curbs of local businesses on weekends. Here, Youssef and his friends came across an old, expansive television studio where there was space to build bigger and better obstacles like a corner quarterpipe. The old fridge found a new home in one of the small rooms where a bar was set up to serve food and drink to all who visited. One of the small adjoining rooms was also used as an art studio where old boards were used as a blank canvas and exhibited within the space. Everything seemed to be falling into place nicely until unfortunately the building was needed once again and so everyone packed up and moved out.
Since then, Youssef and his friends set out on a mission to create a permeant community based indoor skate park where all skaters from Brussels and beyond could visit throughout the year. Made up of donated wood, confiscated skate obstacles, recycled waste and concrete, the 945m2 park underneath the railway arches is an open space otherwise known as a ‘Byrrrh’, that offers itself to all skaters: any age, any level, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.
On Saturday 6th May, Levi’s® Skateboarding supported the launch of The Byrrrh & Skate Project by hosting The Byrrrh Jam: an event that officially opened the park to locals and skateboarders from across Europe. Throughout the day, Levi’s® skateboarding holded a number of small events and activities including; an under 18 skate competition, live music by La Jungle, a photography exhibition about Youssef’s work to date and The Byrrrh story and a 18+ cash prize skate competition as well as food, drink and good times!

Internet y las redes sociales han traído consigo nuevas formas de comunicación y, gracias a la llegada de este tipo conexiones entre seres humanos, hemos asistido a todo tipo de fenómenos virales. Seguro que recordarás el ya célebre reto del cubo de agua y hielo o todos esos cráneos atrapados en un condón, pero los de Converse han encontrado una forma de llevar los desafíos online al mundo del skateboarding. #Macbachallenge es un evento con la plaza barcelonesa de Macba como telón de fondo y las vías de difusión fueron los perfiles de Instagram de los implicados.
Los encargados de retar fueron Miguel Prieto, Cristian Sánchez y Dani Quintero, todos ellos miembros del equipo nacional de Cons y encargados de representar a las tiendas locales Collective, Tactic y FTC respectivamente. Miguel patinó durante una tarde en la plaza y retó a hacer lo mismo al skater canario Pablo Ibaute Pérez y al local de Macba Arnau Truque. Cristian Sánchez opto por Deniz Yilmaz y el joven patinador Jesús Barrios, que quizá fue el que más sorprendió por ser el menos conocido, y Dani tuvo buen ojo al seleccionar para el desafío a José Vivero “Sixas” y al siempre original Fred Plocque.
El evento, que sirvió para que todos los implicados probasen las nuevas Converse One Star CC, fue posible gracias a la colaboración de la compañía con Macba Life y las anteriormente mencionadas tiendas locales. Ya con todos los vídeo publicados, se puede afirmar con rotundidad que ha sido un auténtico éxito. Cada uno de los clips ha recibido miles de reproducciones y tiene toda la pinta de que no será la última vez que veamos algo parecido. Aquí puedes disfrutar de las fotografías capturadas por Roger Ferrero durante las sesiones de filmación, además de una pequeña muestra de los vídeos, pero no dudes en buscar #Macbachallenge en Instagram para disfrutar del resto de clips.
También te dejamos por aquí el clip en el que los chicos de Macbalife han recopilado los mejores momentos.

Nueva Expo de JULIEN DENIAU !!! en STATE Skateboarding Shop
Desde el 10 al 31 de Abril, EXPOSICIÓN FOTOGRÁFICA!!!
JULIEN DENIAU, "UNAVISTA"
STATE sigue apostando por todos los que creen en el Skateboard y esta vez contamos con la colaboración de UNAVISTA
Julien Deniau, fotógrafo, pintor y skater francés, residente en Barcelona desde el año 2000. Julien ha trabajado como fotógrafo freelance para revistas de skateboard en Francia e internacionalmente durante más de 20 años, lo que le da la oportunidad de viajar en numerosos países para documentar estos viajes.
<Reflection>¿Qué son los reflejos? Son unos rallos de luz que se repercuten en una superficie lisa brillante o translúcida, como metal, agua, espejos, o vidrios.
Los reflejos son parte de nuestra vida cotidiana aunque no les prestemos atención.
Cada día, en la vitrina de la panadería mientras eliges el pan puedes entrever la gente que pasa atrás tuyo, mirando un charco de agua en el suelo puedes descubrir el sol y las nubes, o tan solo mirando en un espejo ves tu cara reflejada.
Gracias a este fenómeno de la luz, el fotógrafo a capturado imágenes de skateboard, reflejadas en charcos de agua o en fragmentos de un espejo que suele llevar con él, estas fotos no son trabajadas con photoshop, son el resultado de un sensible juego entre los reflejos y la ilusión óptica.
