Malmo Love Park Session

They recreated parts of Love Park in Malmo, Sweden!

Using some of the original slabs and marble, the cities of Philadelphia and Malmo worked together to recreate part of Love Park.

Check out this short explainer video of the project.

After the hard work done by SkatePhilly, Skate Malmö, Bryggeriet, The City of Philadelphia and the City of Malmö, they invited skater to session Malmo.

Below is the feature video by Skate Malmo

This wasn’t the only skate event that they planned for the 3 days in Malmo. Having invited many Philadelphia Pros like Mark Suciu, John Shanahan, and Fred Gall, they had multiple events around the Malmo area.

First up was the best line contest by Poetic Collective skateboards.

After taking the event around Malmo to skate both classic spots and the newest, it was off to the skatepark.

Here is a recap video featuring the entire event that starts off with a great jam at the skatepark. It also captures the ledge contest and the contest at the new Love Park Malmo Sweden.

Huge thanks to SOLO skate mag and Berger Skateboarding for producing these videos covering the events.

Blood Wizard At Swampfest 2024

Swampfest is a crazy event from the mind of Trey Jones! It was created to get BMXers and more to come and enjoy what Florida has to offer.

The Blood Wizards went down to enjoy the festivities. While they partook of the incrediblely creative obstacles and events, they also had one of their own.

The Blood Wizard channel jam was two ramps connected at the top but straddling a strip of swampland. Good and bad things happened on this obstacle!

Watch the entire MASHER: Swampiest 2024 below. Filmed and edited by Chris Gregson.

If that video doesn’t make you want to build a toilet bowl go cart and travel to Florida for Swampiest 2025, we won’t be able to convince you.
