The Oktoberfest of Skateboarding – SHRNfest 2026bubble skateboard magazine2026-09-22 | The Oktoberfest of Skateboarding – SHRNfest 2026“Cheeky Legends”bubble skateboard magazine2026-04-16 | Over the last two years, Damian Gribl filmed this video in Frankfurt am Main featuring Christian Kessler (aka Kert), Matthias Ellinger (aka Mocki), Zack Crisostomo, Elias Peter, Kyle Kheswa, and Pierre Masek. Some of the spots they chose were far from ideal, whether due to being DIY, temporary, or due to tight security – yet the guys managed to pull off tricks there anyway. Doing so leaves a certain “aura” at the spot, sparking conversations for weeks. That’s how the name "Cheeky Legends" was born!
With the first clips gathered just as the leaves began to fall, Dom & Bastien had initially challenged themselves to make a seasonally themed part in Copenhagen with the title ‘Efterår’ - the Danish word for autumn.
However as winter hit, conflicting schedules & eternally wet ground put the project on hold for the best part of three months as they awaited the chance to make a final few outings. Reuniting to gather some last clips in February & March 2026, the more fitting title of ‘Cold Half’ emerged, a nod to the more challenging portion of the year for skateboarding in the Danish capital.

For nearly 15 years you could find his photos in all the magazines and he was constantly touring the planet. At some point he stopped, moved to the countryside, and focused on a totally different kind of photography, experimenting with old ultra large format cameras like were used in the 19th Century. We visited him at home near Strasbourg in the Vosges, where he now lives with his partner and daughter in the house he renovated himself.

Rune's background in analog photography transitioned heavy into the topics and the making of our issue, as well as the release party. We went behind the scenes of getting analog hand prints done and framed at Silverlab and find out about what it took to tie everything together!
On February 5th, 2025, plaza de Sants fell silent. The concrete, now broken, remains — but the soul moved elsewhere. For years, it was a meeting point. A space shaped by skateboarding and time lived outside the rules, built through noise, presence, and making things work without permission. A way of life that won’t happen again. From Rackz Gallery, alongside snt4ever, came the need to keep that story from fading. Not to frame it or sell it, but to walk alongside it and let it exist through this documentary — raw, honest, and true to what it was. Over the past months, Blai Costa stood behind the camera, capturing gestures and moments that won’t be repeated. This documentary isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about the community that claimed the space, and the memories that keep rolling, even after the spot is gone. Art will save la plaza.
That continuous flow of amazing footage makes it easy to forget that no matter the level of confidence and technique you have developed, these are still actual battles!
Willow Voges Fernandes tells the story about the ender of the latest Carhartt video "Ishin Denshin", a rail located in Tokyo that took quite some dedication: skating it injured, having to come back, far from his german homeland...

"Ishin denshin" the new Cahartt video, still playing on Bubble!Filip Labovic: 51 Years Old, 38 Years Deep – Designing Parks, Skating Streetbubble skateboard magazine2026-01-27 | Filip was born on November 11, 1974, near Münster and started skateboarding in 1987. That means he has spent over 38 years on a skateboard; he has seen and experienced many turns of the carousel and the highs and lows that come with skating and life. He is one of the hardest workers I know, with a strong work ethic both on and off the board, yet he usually remains very relaxed. Along the way, he raised a family, returned to education through a second educational path, and traded the shovel for the drawing board. Today, he lives in Münster and works as a landscape architect, designing public spaces and skateparks for DSGN Concepts. Despite creating skateparks, Filip is pretty much only out there street skating. He can skate anything. He’s got some rare and mean transition tricks, but the streets are what really get his blood pumping. In our area, this usually means rugged, dirty spots with difficult approaches, which doesn’t prevent him from applying his tech steez to structures made of brick or sandstone. Injuries have been among the biggest setbacks, often accompanied by medical advice to stop skating altogether. During the filming of this part, Filip tore a tendon in his shoulder and had to undergo surgery. Nine months later, shortly after his 50th birthday, he returned and we were able to capture the final clips for this part.
Following their 2023 debut named VABENE, this new project keeps the homie energy alive while pushing everything a step further. Featuring: Paul Ehrenberg, Marius Mohr, David Walter, Tim Janke, Marius Recher, Rebecka Gianfelici, Henry Pokorra, Kilian Riedemann, Daniel Meier, Constantin Grabner, Maximilian Götz, Moritz Müglich, Frederick Schneider, Simon Gärtner, Lababsi Badreddine, Markus Mau, Clara Seyfferth, Louis Fischer, Marian Neubert, Marcel Niebuhr, Sebastian Weiss, Noah Zander, Noah Evenius, Michél Gary, Max Rumpeltes, Barry Taniwah, Jonas Lieder, Josua Wielandt

He bought some land in Evian, next to Lake Geneva and taught himself to build a house, just by watching YouTube videos and following advice from local builders. After finishing this project, he moved on to create a permaculture farm on a neighboring property. Now he lives mostly off of the vegetables he grows. We visited him to learn how he became self-sufficient – and we also squeezed in a little session at the indoor skatepark in Lausanne.

That focus has only grown stronger with the arrival of Arthur Giat—who started as an intern and is now their team manager and filmer—continuously pushing Wasted’s skateboarding program forward.
We followed the crew to Warsaw during one of the trips for their latest and most ambitious project to date, “Bad Mouth,” which has been out for a few weeks now.

The video idea shaped itself after visiting his hometown and long term friend Timo Meier in Barcelona 2024, starting to get a fundament of footage there. Tjark was getting in contact with Frederick Schneider in BCN 24 too, with who he was finishing the project with a long trip to Poland, getting clips at the iconic looking Palas spots (looking like an American plaza in Washington or Philly) this summer and some missions in Copenhagen. Also wanting to represent his hometown Kiel, he got some clips there with the local filmer friends.
Tjark would like to thank everyone involved in the project, filmers & friends, especially the Cleptomanicx fam with Henning Tapper and Jörg Bruns. Big love to Frederick Schneider for editing the part and all his sponsors and local shop Support Skateshop for the long term support.

When he is not traveling around the world shooting photos, he is living the good life in Biarritz, getting up early to surf or catch a skate session himself. As a part of our Biarritz issue, we shadowed Clement in his daily life (and when we say "shadow", we mean literally sleeping in his spare bedroom for two weeks straight.) Thank you Clem!
Filmed during the spring and summer 2025, in the south west of France, north of Spain as well as Portugal, it mixes street spots, diy's and park in the classic “crew tape” fashion, with guests like Nassim Lachhab, Simon Bannerot, and Marius Syvänen and nothing but good times. Hope it makes you look forward to your next buddy trip in warmer weather, like it did for us! And if you want to see more of the guys or the south west, check this video:

And it shows in the way he runs his shop – constantly organizing events, out in the streets filming, and pushing the scene as much as he can. On top of that, he’s got a massive video and magazine collection that he shares right inside the shop. For this video, he gave us a tour through Arnhem (and its great spots) and showed us some of his rare collector’s items.

Most of them get a taste of skateboarding in the numerous parks that have been built in the region for the past 20ish years, but for some reason only a small fraction of them push themselves out of those, and even a smaller portion of them actually document their street adventures. To be fair can't blame them: the spots are usually rough, on private properties, and quite far away especially if you don't have a car or motorcycle...
Despite all this, Lukas Larrue, a great and upcoming skater (who closed our video "Merci Clem" with a nice front lip in Biarritz) from Tosse, chose to buy a Panasonic camera and filmed his "Les landes" homies. And that is how you get "Always late", an action packed and raw 6 minutes video starring Aaron Pena, Noe Balsamo, Lucien Gourdal and Lukas himself, roaming around their local spot (and a bit of Berlin!)...
Enjoy "Always late", and don't forget to hit those guys up if you ever around the south west of France!

The area has a strong connection to the skate industry, and naturally, it’s home to many people who are or have been part of it. Javier Mendizabal is a household name in skateboarding and has been part of this industry for years. But after he left Barcelona and moved to France, his life changed from being on tour all the time to finally having the time to start painting and surfing. Now he’s spending most days in his studio or in the water. When we visited him, we also went to the concrete waves of Ramputene DIY in San Sebastián, where Javier met up with Bastien Duverdier aka Kēpa (who’s docu video you can finde here: youtube.com/watch?v=JWtJhiUmBfc).
It was obviously mandatory for us to visit the said region, and so we ended up crashing at Clément Le Gall’s place in Biarritz for two weeks in early April, to meet the actors of the scene as well as skating in the streets of Biarritz and its surrounding.
For the latest, thanks to Clément’s informal team management, we were met by a contagious enthousiam to show us and around and skate some known and less known spots that have showcased in classic Pays Basques videos (looking a you “Jacky Biarritz”!) or that the younger generation had spotted and wanted to open. “Merci Clem” is the result of those two weeks of street filming, showcasing many talents from les Landes and the Pays Basque, as well as a view visitors.
Skaters featured, in order of appearance are:
Tom Barthelemy Sammy Mould Noe Balsamo Lukas Larue Aaron Penna Clement Le Gall Daniel Porto Raya Vincent Milou Maxime Haramboure Greg Poissonier Arto Victorri Simon Volpoet Robin Bolian Lucas Puig Axel Cruysberghs Madeleine Larcheron Uryann Raudet Jeremie Plisson PJ Chapuis Pierre Hiribarren Hugo Westrelin Tim Debauche
The video was filmed and edited by Thomas Courteille, with the help of additionial filmers Lukas Larrue, Arto Victorri and Killian Levifve.
We want to thanks everyone involved,as well as Wallstreet Biarritz and Bleach café for helping us set up the premiere and release of the mag in early June.
