Tag: pappelplatz

Last week we provided you with the photo recap and today it is time for the video recap.
Featuring guys like Giorgi Armani, Farid Ulrich, Justin Sommer, Patrick Rogalski, Kai Hillebrand, Philipp Oehmige and many others.

So press play and enjoy the video that Jon Wolf and Mark Nickels made for us all.

The 21st of June is a special day. It’s not just the official beginning of summer and thus the longest day of the year (speaking from the northern hemisphere point of view), it’s also the date we skateboarders celebrate our passion, culture, and community – the International Go Skateboarding Day. Since we happen to live in a major city like Berlin, we are lucky enough to annually have a well-organized event by Nike SB.

This year again, the event was well-attended, the weather bright, the atmosphere good and just like every other time, I could not believe that another full year had already gone by. We bottle flipped at Pappelplatz, did some cash for tricks, up, on and over a picknick table, we raced around the Project DSS course and we tried to break speed records by doing flip tricks as fast as we could. In the end, Justin Sommer did a 35 km/h varial kickflip which is probably the fastest varial flip ever done on flat ground, an amazing way to end Go Skateboarding Day 2017!

Special thanks to everybody who came by, Nike SB, Yamato Living Ramps, Civilist Berlin and Titus Berlin! Until next year!

One of skateboarding’s most exciting days is almost upon us, not only locally but all across the world, skateboarders from all walks of life are set to gather on Go Skateboarding Day 2017. This year Nike SB and PLACE are asking you! Not only all skateboarders but everybody to come and join us in Berlin on Wednesday, June 21st.

At Pappelplatz we will also announce the (top secret) location of our next staple event: the CASH FOR TRICKS SECRET SESSION. A session presented by Titus Berlin in which you will be directly rewarded for your heavy-hitting tricks with cold hard currency.

As the sun will slowly start to set, we will still be sweating through our shirts trying to crown the winner of the PROJECT DSS GRAND PRIX open race event. For those of you that are not looking to break speed records, you are welcome to enjoy some very cold drinks and some very hot BBQ food together with the people of Yamato Living Ramps and the 1.

Yesterday Civilist Berlin and Nike SB invited everybody to the launch event of Project DSS. Many locals gathered together at Pappelplatz skatepark for an open session with a free offered BBQ and cold drinks and not least to participate in the first voting for their favorite obstacle for the expansion of Berlin’s famous DIY spot.

The session quickly gained momentum while locals skated next to big names like Denny Pham, Farid Ulrich, Michi Mackrodt and Patrick Rogalski and an uncountable number of tricks went down over the well-known “Pappel Gap”. At the end, Phillip Oehmige impressed the crowd with a Switch Backside Bigspin followed by a Nollie Bigspin Lateflip and took home the 500€ voucher for the best trick.

We are proud to announce that Nike SB and PLACE have teamed up once again and this one is special because of the launch of the Project DSS. “What is the Project DSS?” you might ask. Well Nike SB has collaborated with Yamato Living Ramps and 1. Berliner Skateboard Verein e.V. to expand one of Berlins most famous DIY spots “The Dog Shit Spot”. To celebrate the start of this project, we will host a couple events starting with the official Project DSS Launch Event on the 17th of May. The first event will be hosted by Civilist at the Pappelplatz skatepark.

Zusammen mit dem LB Project von Lucas Beaufort hosten wir am Mittwoch den 09.07. zur BRIGHT Tradeshow einen Highest Ollie Contest der besonderen Art – Nicht im Flat, sondern aus dem Kicker über den Table lautet die Devise für das internationale Starterfeld, und es haben sich bereits renomierte Pros angekündigt. Ort des Geschehens ist der Skatepark am Pappelplatz in der Invalidenstrasse nur zwei Minuten zu Fuß vom Warenhaus Jandorf entfernt. Für kühle Drinks wird gesorgt sein, ebenso für eine Stuntshow der Extraklasse!

HUF und Civilist veranstalteten gestern am Pappelplatz in Berlin Mitte eine kleine, feine BBQ Session mit Würstchen, Bier und Skateboarding. Was ursprünglich als Meet and Greet und Come Together geplant war, artete allerdings schnell in eine ziemlich amtliche Demo aus. Die zahlreichen Zuschauer hat es hörbar gefreut, denn wann sieht man schonmal Jungs wie Austyn Gillette, Dylan Rieder und Ryan Lay im Minutentakt über den Kicker ins Flat fliegen. Danke an alle, die gekommen sind, geklatscht haben und natürlich an die Hauptakteure, die echten Einsatz gezeigt haben, die Meute zu begeistern.

Mitte bleibt HUF.

Patrick Rogalski, seines Zeichen neuer Amateur bei Titus, war vor einigen Tagen in Berlin. Doch statt Streetfooty zu sammeln, sind wir mal wieder am Pappelplatz hängengeblieben. Aber das beudetet nicht, dass keine Banger gefallen sind, denn Rogge ist ein Garant für stylishes Skating. Deshalb bekommt er den ersten Clip unser neuen Rubrik “1 Dude, 3 Lines”. Und was für Lines.
