Sk8Mag.de - Magazine for Skateboard, Roller Skate, Inline, BMX

Sk8Mag.de is dedicated to everything connected with Skating. You find here contest reports, spot checks and other things having to do with Skating. This includes Skateboarding and Inline Skating. Whenever possible, we will focus on Roller Skating. Most of the pages here are in German (but there are lots of pictures!). If you would like to read one of the pages in English, write an E-Mail to Bernhard Scheffold and I will provide a translated version.

Bowl For Free

Winterthur

Chris Eggers writes in his Blog: This is a once in a lifetime opportunity! The Bowl at Block 37 in Winterthur, Switzerland is up for grabs! If you want it you can get it for free! You just have to dismantle it and carry it away. Erwin Rechsteiner of Bowl.ch informs that you need space of about 14 x 23 meters. The Bowl is 1,80 - 4,80 meters (cradle) high. It is no problem to make it smaller or even bigger. The Bowl will not suffer from the move due to the construction. The parts are not larger than 1,10 x 2,20 meters, except for a few beams. The surface is a bit slippery at the moment because it was not maintained, but if it is cleaned intensively it will be like new again.
