Ben ads, "Skateboarding is a lifestyle. Its my life. Do it for the love of skating, not to be cool or the best or to get sponsored or any of that shit. Who ever has the most fun wins. I'm a pirate, I live in a van and travel to as many places I can, skate the shit out of it and cut out to the next spot, and I'll be doing it for as long as my legs can hold me up".

HOMETOWN: Norristown, PA.
SPONSORS: Pabst Blue Ribbon. heh heh
YEARS SKATING: About 20
Painting about a year now. Always a doodler
Materials I use: Acrylic
Decks: Moose blanks. Or what ever you want me to use. The
last deck I did I used a reissue Zorlac. love that shape.

"The procedure is just that I take an old school pic and try to do it a little different. I like going BIG! I love everything about 80's skateboarding. The colors, the shapes,the art. EVERYTHING! It just does something for me. Everyone who skated those days were my heroes. I looked up to all of them. Mountain, Hosoi, CAB, Roskopp, Johnny Kopp, Gonzales. I could go on forever".

Nice work Richie, thanks for sharing!

 Submits by La Bassine Crew
HOMETOWN: Marseille, France

Fotos showcasing extremely inventive DIY creations, plus a few shots of their counterparts in Germany & Spain.

 

"We are a small group of skaters in Marseille that still think that rad trannies and pools are THE FUCK!!! We skated some spots around but it was not enough, we wanted something really gnarly and underground. We got bored of the fake and so lame fashion movement that skateboard is embrassing these last years. So we decided to leave the bowl (Marseille bowl) to find new places to build our own definition of what skateboarding is all about : simpleness, friendship, fun, and dangerous dirty spots. We made a first spot called "La caverne" and we learned a lot. Then we found old basins on a hill and we started "La bassine". The comon fact with the spots we build is that they are on forbidden terrain. We are not allowed to be there, which makes it more fun! Everything is hand made : concrete mixing, coping, carrying dirt and water... we are like ants, we carry everything on our back. That's why we are not so many involved in this rolling adventure... it's a lot of work and most of the skaters we know are too lazy... We are 100% skateboarders, we live it 7/24, even if everyone has his own work and life. True skateboarders. That's what we are, well, at least we try to keep this kind of spirit alive. No pain no gain."

Thanks to Mat and Mehdi for all the info! Please keep us informed on all future projects!
