WATCH IT GROW-THE FACTORY BOWL

Post by Donald Campbell » Mon Sep 19, 2005 10:48 pm

just when you thought life gets boring during wintertime:
Image

day 4 of our new kidney bowl:
shallow end deep end 5-8 feet pure fun
length 60 feet
width 35 feet

for all the guys who come from a different background than slalom-watch this completely carhartt sponsored ramp grow-when ever in my area stop by for a sess.

Stoked dude!

Is there enough room for Freestyle????

--------> No, just kidding. We will definitely come to session it once it's finished. Maybe I can 'lure' my kids into joining a session.

Holy Moly!
calling 8 feet a deep end is a little sarcastic, but I´d love to have this thing in my basement anyway...........

chris
we made some compromises doing this thing but.....
add ons
a removable love seat
a removable deathbox
2 hardcore extensions

this will make it gnarly enough for you too
besides that,we do have a few nice race tracks plus the most talented skaters in slalom,d-town cologne area so this might be the call for a perfect weekend

svenne
heating?
kiddie stuff hahahaha
but it's dry

sound?

yeah

big stereo set with big speakers and good aggressive music-you know what i mean
also a fridge,toilets,showers
so waddayou're waiting for?

dietsches is building that bowl he has enough time at the moment hehehehe.forgot to mention him oh my....

here you see him showing the 4x4 pavel pool prototype to the amazed audience:

some views of week 3,the monster still sleeps...

now even our specialists who cry for BIG ramps can see where the project is heading.
it's absolutely private the biggest bowl in germany.
without the help and goodwill of ollie and lutz of carhartt and their belief in the things we do,this would have never happened.

where is that thing located? if it's where i think, it's absolutely in my area, which brings me to the real question: how will i be able to ride it? will it cost some entrance fee or is it locals only?

if it is where you live,then you are lucky.
yes,entrance fee and sessions happen on a "call me first" base.
everything has its own reason and should be respected.

belive in what you are doing:
we had a con today,gazing at the almost finsihed monster.what came to my mind is all the people involved starting from the guys who run the plant,carhartt and the money,friends who were there building it,friends who are there to support the dream with extra cash,which was sorely needed.
now we are 2-3 days away from finishing the biggest private bad -ass kidney bowl in the whole of goddamn europe.
yes,i am proud of our achievement.
i am aware of what it took of each and everybody.
so i see that i was pulling strings here and there and in the end it happened.
you might say that we are very spoiled adults enjoying what we have here.
trust me,we will enjoy being so spoiled every day in that bowl-if you pass by our area-give me a call!!!

i got a message for all the guys who don't have the luck we had.


it starts here with a very popular promotion campaign by a popular shoe company:


J U S T D O I T

as always this will remain my life-motto.
gear up for next year in brixlegg when me and chris hart open our bags of surprises.

nobody will be disappointed then,unbelievers beware,you will be in for a big disappointment.

FULL STEAM AHEAD

Had tons of fun. Really big props for Donald and his crew for pulling it off.

Photos will follow.

Big props to Don, Dietsches and crew that built the beauty.

nice vid, Yoyo!
Sorry I couldn't ride with You guys but i had to get these slalom-ramps done for the race next weekend. But I knew my time would come....

Together with Heiko and Dominik I had my first all private session yesterday night.
Man, we had a blast. For me it was a dream come true since 1976.

THANK YOU, DONALD and DITSCHES, for giving me the ultimate ride !

YOU ROCK!

Argggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh
We will miss the session next week end because it's snowing too much in Germany and France!
Too bad :(
I want to carve the bowl and rip this damn coping :(

Skateboarders in Paris aren't lucky:
the big skatepark that some of you perhaps some of you tried during the PSWC, one of the biggest in Europe, is now definetely closed!!
Only one indoor sk8park left in the area, a way more little and quite far in the suburb!!!
I want to go back to California!!!!!
