What skating in the Beauty looks most of the time.

Friends, Friends, Friends and a face.

Yesterday was a good day. Imagine, skating in the Beauty in Mid-January in a t-shirt. I remember how we were freezin last year at this time. Something is weird about the climate.

Alex Treter from Lugano/Antwerpen made it to the Beauty, which is always good fun. And this Frontside Rock, perfffect.

And another Friend, who isnt that often at the Beauté. Robin Fischer from Baden showed up, learned quickly, gained some speed and locked in this Back D. Nice one Fischer-Boy.

Hell Yeah! We are doing it again. An awesome Glühwein Session at the Beauty. Everyone is invited for some gnarly concrete! We do it on friday the 13th, starting at 19.00!

We start very mellow with a Beauty Session with Glühwein and hot Soup. Later in that beautiful night, we have two awesome bands playing and worlds first Moshpit Microramp!

Don't miss it. You will regret it otherwise!

And we have an wonderful flyer by the talented Mr. Marc Bachmann!

And a brand new clip from the Beauty!

Captain Tapas, aka Marcel is busy filming and cutting. Looks like he wants to publish as much footage from his stay as possible.

No Problem, we like this very much.

Enjoy here this little Clip featuring Marcel, Mirco, Nicolas, Marc, Chrigel, Hofer!

Good work, yeah!

The Session and the SRCKI

Yesterday was a glorious night. Our friends of the Boldrider / ROW Gang were in town, and we had two great sessions at the beauty. And as an encore, their band SRCKI played a gig, which to say at last, was HEART WARMING/KILLER!


Finger on da trigger AKA Christoph Spiess took some very very nice shots of this night. Bad luck, the Slovenians were too tired to skate themselves, so, no Pumpa Shots here. Just the usual suspects.

The construction of THE BEAUTY D.I.Y, Zurich

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!
