A little time passed since the opening, we all were busy, but now I found the time, to bring on here the full history of this year long construction process.
When we first entered the room, it was a full junkyard. But now, it is really a BEAUTY. Smooth to skate, a good couch, even a decent sound system.
So here is one year of blood and dust. Enjoy the pictures:
 |
That was the room, as it looked like, when we first entered it. |
 |
The first big cleaning round. This was a hell's work. |
 |
Wood Work |
 |
The plan was, to build on one side a quarterpipe, and on the other a wallride. |
 |
Boris in the wooden frame of the wallride. |
 |
Fuck, I nearly forgot, how much work it was, to get all the trash together to fill the ramps at that time. |
 |
Sylvain, filling up the shit. |
 |
It starts to look a little bit like it should. This was mid November 2011. |
 |
Looks like we were ready for the concrete. |
 |
Rebars in the wallride. We had luck, and found the rebars onsite. |
 |
Rebars in the quarterpipe. |
 |
Filling up with concrete. |
 |
Quarterpipe is finished. Fuck, I see the wobbels even on this picture. They are still there... |
 |
The first step was done in early December 2011. |
 |
Paintjob Pro. |
 |
Nearly... |
Cutting down the walls.
 |
In February 2012, we continued with the second stage. On this day, when we made the wood work, it was around - 15° Celsius. |
 |
Wood work on the left side. At this time, we thought about doing a spine, there on the left side. |
 |
Filling it up with trash was a big task. Fuck! |
 |
I just love pictures of cement, sand and gravel bags. Really. |
 |
Cutting the floor and producing as much dust as possible. |
 |
And it took hours to mix all the concrete. Small machine. |
 |
Concrete on wall, not much to say about that here. |
 |
Shaping for gods sake. |
 |
Second Part is ready. |
 |
This was the state on easter 2012. Nearly perfect. |
 |
Dust was also a big problem at that time. |
 |
Ok, let's start with the preparations for part III. |
 |
This time, we filled it up with styrofoam. It works and is 100'000 times easier work than filling it up with stones. |
 |
Rebaring. |
 |
We did a thin layer of ghetto concete, so everything would hold together. We were not sure, if the styrofoam works so well. |
 |
Marky is a machine! |
 |
We did the concrete in November 2012. |
 |
Lunchbreak! For the first time, we had a proper lunch while working the 'crete. |
 |
Roger and Men, passionate shaping. |
 |
As said earlier, I like pictures of concrete bags. |
 |
A good team, on a hard day. |
 |
In one day, we made the big wobbel and the new quarter. |
 |
Marky setting the pool coping. They were made by Pudi, thank you a lot. |
 |
Construction Site overview. |
 |
Last pool coping setting session. |
 |
And it was done, nearly at least. |
 |
We had to take down the paint, as it produced more dust than before. |
 |
Another overview. |
 |
Fuck Yeah, we did it again! |
 |
First Session. Boris, 50-50. |
 |
A nice red carpet makes it feel comfortable. |
 |
Chrigel likes the opening session. |
 |
Everybody was here, as usual. That feels good. |
 |
And since the opening session mid december 2012, THE BEAUTY is ready to skate! Fuck Yeah! |
 |
Yes, keep the fire burning! |
