Punk auf Indonesisch

Eröffnung! Im Rahmen der Gruppenausstellung PUNK - Raw Power, The Revolt Against Innocent zeigt die Photobastei die Ausstellung der Basler Fotografin Eleni Kougionis: Punk auf Indonesisch.

Die Fotografin Eleni Kougionis, *1988 wohnhaft in Basel, zeigt die Fotoreportage ihrer ersten Reise nach Indonesien aus dem Jahr 2015. Dort tauchte sie mit grosser Unterstützung heimischer Punks in die riesige und vielfältige Szene auf der Insel Java ein. Drei Jahre später begleitete sie ihre Freunde der Basler Hardcore Punk Band Heckler auf deren Süd­­ostasien Tournee, wo sie bekannte Menschen und Orte wieder traf. Daraus entstanden der Film «Still Wrecked – Heckler Southeast Asia Tour» in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Filmemacher Christian Taro und weitere Bilder der Ausstellung.

Zeal & Ardor – UK Tour

I‘m truly grateful for all the unique opportunities the work I love to do offers me. Last week I've been on tour with Zeal and Ardor to film their United Kingdom tour. Not only are these guys top-notch musicians but also very rad people that I had an absolute blast hanging with. That applies to the whole road crew! They are still on the road so if you get the chance to see them live don‘t miss out. They‘re nothing short of amazing.

(Here some random film stills. Straight outta camera, v-log, no touch-ups).

doodah presents COOL GREEN WATER

COOL GREEN WATER is here for your viewing pleasure. Thanks again doodah for the continued support. Can't wait to see what's next! Big up to the shredders in front of the lens killing it (and themselves) – Timmey, Christoph & Samy!

Major shout out as well to Filip Zuan who shot some darn neat pictures of this special trip. Pretty sure we're gonna see them somewhere soon! Peek his profile to see his awesome work.

Projects like this and the great feedback really motivates me to keep doing what i love to do.

The valley of Verzasca is a beautiful biosphere hidden in southern part of Switzerland, embedded in the mountains with tempting pools of luminous green. Hooked on secluded spots, remote villages and spectacular damms, we packed Chris Rediger, Timmey Krauer and Samuel Aebi together with photographer Filip Zuan and filmer Christian Taro in a Rustico at the end of the Valley and let the magic happen. From befriending goats to how to safely cross a river, no stone was left unturned to find some truly exotic skateboard spots Skateboarding: Timmey Krauer Christoph Rediger Samuel Aebi Photography: Filip Zuan www.filipzuan.com @filipzuan Filming and Editing: Christian Taro www.christiantaro.com @taro.tornado Music: Frank Powers A flock of good folks // Free Moves www.frankpowersmusic.com @frankpowers.music

Premiere @ Port Land Basel

"COOL GREEN WATER" premieres tonight at the ESC Basel party at Port Land Basel. This time we went to the beautiful scenery of the Verzasca valley to see if we could find some unique spots no one ever skated before.

Our little clip is followed by the new video by "Own Skateboards" – really looking forward to see this one myself! So come by have a beer and enjoy the pre party to an amazing weekend.

Thanks for making this happen skateboardeurope & doodah.

Long Time No See.

It’s been a while since I posted something on here. The reason beeing that I’m drowning in (awesome) work at the moment.

Just filmed some artsy material for Art Basel with my good pal Alain, finishing the Art and Wheels edit (drops very soon), organizing some stuff for this weekend and a lot of other small things here and there. (Good thing I'm not too much into soccer... haven't seen one game of the world cup yet)

I’m just about to leave the house for a new mission for Doodah and I couldn't be more hyped. It's always a real pleasure and privilege to get creative with the good homies and spend some quality time skateboarding.

Above's a picture from last year's trip in the swiss alps. Filming the boys (and a broom..) in a giant ditch where they get rid of all the gathered snow from the streets in the wintertime... who knew something like that even existed?!

Wanna know more about that ditch and what went down there? Check it here!

ESC Basel 2018

This is a big one. For myself and even for Basel. The ESC are coming back! (after 7 long years)

I remember standing on the big ramps before my run with shaky legs and sweaty palms. I never really got far in these contests... but man, those were hands down the best days in the entire year.

Being involved in the reissue of the ESC is something really special and I'm more than stoked. Thanks Oli!

Teaser by Ahoimotion and myself. More to come. Stay posted here or follow Skateboardeurope on Facebook or/and Instagram.

Filming for First Love

Four years ago today. We filmed through two whole nights and it was beyond freezing. But still, we had a great time and the boys were killing it.

The 6 minute short turned out to be truly a matter of the heart. It was shown on lots of different festivals and even got lucky enough to win a price here and there. I‘m planning on uploading it in the (very) near future. Pinky promise.

Till then have another look at the trailer.
