At Polaresco (via Polaresco Bergamo 40 km east of milano) in twenty days this bowl will be finished… for the street area we have to wait till this fall. The design is from Cooping Pablo Baruffo and the cost it will be around 100 thousands. With the light. The surface is really smooth, they did a very good job and in a few weeks it’s going to be ready for the first sessions…
The official grand opening will be in september.
The plan above shows the concrete bowl that is now under construction in Corsico (MI), Italy. The bowl is part of a regeneration project of the Travaglia Park.
Leonardo Oprandi (project manager at LAND) has informed us that all the prefab Concrete elements of this mini combi bowl designed by mamadesignlab have been just delivered on site.
Here some pictures from last week showing the already finished excavation of the area.
A serious grand opening is expected right after the summer.
Todo o mundo é pais and Dave Duncan feels like home for sure in Rome where the three days WCS contest just ended.

If you are new to this talking here some more info on what’s up with the Tim Brauch Memorial Fund end his noble (and useful too!) mission.
We all know Daniele Galli, skateboarding is his life and this is the result of what he’s gotten in the last year. Differently from his Hello, People! video part, when his footage used to be taken by random friends or his brother, this part is filmed by experienced filmers the likes of: Julien Castel, Diego Garcia, Fabio Liguori, Sergio Minnici, Federico Romanello, Andrea Zolin, Alejandro Marco, David Cahall, Yari Copt e Giovanni Rossi. And video editor Fabio Liguori put together the whole thing.
Locations besides of course Italy, are Brasil, USA, Switzerland and Greece.
Technicalities aside, Daniele put his soul in this project, a year of hard work and some serious world travelling. So that he could best describe to his audience what his skating is about.
Only street skating this time, some good bangers and some noteworthy build and trick, like the last pole jam.
Surfing the web, i just hit the blog of soma, i saw this video, I Campioni is the name, made by this company from Lausanne, Switzerland called 242 Skateboards and if you check in their website you can see that those guys have a lot of style… not only for the video.

One of the most famous tax haven in the world is the Cayman Island. A true paradise, not only for the tax free. Sun, see and the concrete skatepark of my dreams!
I just discovered the time lapse video above (2 frames/minute) on Skate and Annoy.
It features a backyard private bowl construction in Portland, Oregon.
This concrete gem was made yesterday (6-6-2009) by Dreamland Skateparks.
They know the job!
Filmer Sergio Minnici just put on his vimeo this video. He called it Piece of Bauli and if you know Marco Lambertucci you must watch it, if not… well check it out.
