The "Zementwerk" Volcom Project | Leica

The "Zementwerk" Volcom Project | Leica

The whole project started with the idea of a place, a building , a spot, anything that hasn´t been skated yet but at the same time a location that tells a story by it´s own. An old lost place which makes you excited like a little kid to go there, open rusty doors, discover rooms with their old inventory. Walking paths that haven´t seen any footsteps for a long time. All on your own risk.
That´s where they wanna go, do some DIY and make it skateable.

It took them quite a while to get the ball rolling but teaming up with Leica Camera, SOLO Skatemag and some friends who love skateboarding as much as they do there was no reason to row back.

With a few addresses on their list they set forth to find the right location for the project. 
Lucky them we made it first try. That´s their venue, without any doubt. This is it!
An old lost concrete factory and a lot of options to skate. They figured out a few spots to put some DIY work and fixed a date to bring the riders and staff. 
 
Riders: Chris Phanner, Daan Van Der Linden, Ben Raemers, Alain Goikoetxea, Eniz Fazliov, Alex Schultz, Tim Rebensdorf

CPH Open 2017 | Day 4

CPH Open 2017

19- 23rd JULY

 

The CPH Open finals was a day that will go down in the history books as one of the most packed Copenhagen skateboarding has ever seen. With a big crowd comes a great atmosphere and with the sun out and the party in full Saturday mode, everyone headed to the first stop of the day by the Planetariet where a flat bar and picnic bench got laid out in a line to find the last skaters who would make it into the finals.

Louie Lopez, Matt Berger and Felipe Gustavo all made the grade while others took the opportunity to find the best vantage point by hiring inflatables and watching from the lake.

Ishod Wair → CPH Open 2017 Champ!

Moving on just a few meters was a straight up 10 step cash for tricks assault through a sea of people standing and hanging on to whatever they could find. Bangers came in the shape of Aurelien’s Hard Flip, Midler’s front 3 and Jamie Foy’s BS flip.

From the steps the race was on for everyone to get to the finals at the Copenhagen skatepark with entry queues destined to snake right up the road.
‘Side mission on the way’ goes to Jamie Foy, Zion, Paul Hart and Alex Midler on a shocker of a bridge rail – check @copenhagenopen to be impressed.

The newly refurbished park complete with obligatory heart sunglasses was feeling the heat from the off, an incredible line up of skaters that was a treat to watch both live online and in the park.
With such an impressive start list it was always going to be a hard call but the day, if not the week, belonged to Ishod Wair showing why he’s a SOTY by cruising with absolute effortless board control on every surface he touched in Copenhagen. Luan Oliveira and Vincent Milou took the next two spots but the party was fully in Ishod’s honour.

Barrel jump up next and rumours that it’s being considered as an additional Olympic discipline are unfounded, if it was, Blake Johnson would be in with a shout. The Death Race is also not on the cards but it would be a sure fire ratings winner. Top speeds of 29mph and glory for days to anyone with super push and a good barge, Mason Silva had the elbows to take the win

The comp was closed down with the best trick, this year a bump to bar over a smoking mystery pit made even better/challenging by the sheer amount of gold confetti cannons being let off. With crowds that made even going to the bar a challenge, major props to those that skated and especially Jaakko Ojanen who secured top honours.

Anyone still in town should make it down to La Banchina - Refshalevej 14 to chill, swim and finish the rest of the party.

CPH Open 2017

19- 23rd JULY

 

Copenhagen demonstrated in no uncertain terms that a little rain couldn’t dampen the festivities yesterday, as the CPH Open went full steam ahead despite the rain that threw down for most of the day. The washed out scheduled lunchtime ledge action quickly turned into rammed session at the Wonderland bowl in Christiania. Tough to get in proved even harder to get out, as the crowds surged to witness the transition madness of the impromptu sweatbox.

Breakout missions were taking place in other parts of town as the city showed why it’s one of the best places to skate regardless of weather. Secret spots and well known parks such as the X-Hall bowl were getting decent workouts and being destroyed by GT and crew amongst others.

For those looking to use the break in the comp to loosen up a bit the Champagne River Cruise and Party Bus transported skaters and crew under canopy fuelled by seemingly inexhaustible cases off special reserve.

With the rain retreating late afternoon, the Triangle DIY spot looked like a goer and against all odds dried up just in time for a comp, though not before it was turned upside down by Sebo Walker and TJ Rogers who skated it better in the wet than most mortals can do in the dry. For anyone who’s not seen it, the Triangle takes it’s name from it’s shape and has a bunch of curbs, ledges, hips and bumps that can be skated all the way round. Qualified skaters were given 3 x 2 laps to put lines together with top winners making the cut for Saturday finals. Franky Villani go the crowed fired up with smiles and a diverse bag of silky oddness, Vincent Milou was on fire but Luan made the whole thing look like his local spot with a consistency that’s beyond comprehension.

Saturday schedule takes place by the lakes at Planetariet with a picnic table and flat bar set up followed by 10 stair Cash for Tricks 13.00 – 16.00 Top 3 get qualified into the CPH OPEN finals at Copenhagen Skatepark from 17.00

Expect to see the modern day equivalent of gladiators in the Death Race from 8pm followed by Barrel jumps, best trick and even more partying.
