Two more reasons for a skate trip to Sweden!

Halfpipe corner at the Area 51 skatepark in Göteborg

I got back just last Sunday from Malmö, Sweden which has the incredible Stapelbäddsparken concrete park and another park which is being built right now which was looking like a whole look of fun. While I was at the contest, I hooked up with Magnus Olsevik, a Swedish vert veteran from Gotheburg, while having fun in the parking lot and he was obviously in a better state of mind than I was as he got in contact with me after the contest, sending me two links to parks I had never heard of yet (well, okay, one is being built.

The first one is the Area 51 skatepark in Göteborg which is a skatepark, from what I can understand, which is underground! And this park has everything you need: street area, a large miniramp, a wooden pool and, believe it or not, a a large concrete halfpipe with a wooden corner!!! Definitely something out of the ordinary and a place to visit!

Another concrete park which is currently being built – by the looks of it the work just commenced – in Göteborg looks to become the next massive park Sweden receives. Yes, I am getting jealous about all of these parks!!!! And yes, it is true. This park is being built by the same guys who made the Stapelbäddsparken in Malmö!
