Hamburger burger

Myself and Mrs Scumtash popped over (well compared to flying to San Diego) to Hamburg over the May day weekend to stay with our gracious host Detective Eva Schramm. As usual I was allowed some skate time so made the most of it by visiting the sick DIY Rote Flora bowl and getting in a sneaky hour at the iPunkt skatepark.

We'd managed to avoid the traditional mayday riots that are centered around the Rote Flora Theatre which is a mecca for squatters, crustys and teen punks. It was just like the old punks picnic but with quality German beer instead of scrumpy. The riots had left their mark though in the form of burnt out bins, smashed up banks and glass everywhere - but the bowl was unscathed apart from some sketchy muddy puddles.

Anyways Mrs 'tash snapped away and didn't do too bad for her first foray into the exciting world of exxxtreeeeme Diltonbertleslide skate action.

iPunkt streety bit. Pointless child hell with added pointless dad. The little steep banks on the left were super fun tho.

The quite frankly MASSIVE cradle and vert wall in the iPunkt bowl. If anyone grinds this I'll buy em at least 2 pints.

Obligatory #1 and #2. Fer Alec.

Crailtapperskidder into the puddle. SPLASH.

Whats German for "Dilton Marsh"? I think it might be Bielefeld....

Rote Flora was rad - hella tight corners and the back bit was like the wierdest 10ft vert ramp/bowl kinker transition thing ever all with pool coping. There's even a love seat in the back left corner, and just out of shot is the mental mini cradle on the right of the small ramp - that was fucked. I loved this place and if anyone fancies a trip out there let me know cos I'm keen...
