A sad day in 2009 was the closing of the best indoor skatepark that Berlin has seen in a while. This cosy place near the main station was fully covered and perfectly shaped with wood from the bottom up to the roof. “Bernd’s Wohnzimmer” opened the doors for the last session in October. Once built up with much love by the Berlin skateboard legend Till Kemner some years ago, it instantly became the spot for the core of the scene. Such a great place to hang out, right at a channel of the Spree river. Had some really good sessions there, loved the miniramp, people have always been nice, I remember some sweet injuries and muscle soreness … I already miss it really bad!
But with everything that comes to an end there is a new beginning … parts of the wood will find a new home, a new skatepark is being built, with indoor and outdoor space somewhere in the eastern part of Berlin. Hopefully it has something special to offer like “Bernd’s Wohnzimmer”. See you soon!
Finding lists as a review for a passing year at the beginning of December doesn’t feel right. The year isn’t over and the last month is known for some more surprises. As the new year just started, I can now give a résumé about 2009. There won’t be a kind of structure, no numbered lists, just a few memorable moments and so I begin with the first part: music that created some sensations at JB. And it’s no surprise that most of the best music last year came from England … Read more …
Recreation! We took some time off for a little holiday and now we’re back with tons of fresh air and some good energy to push things forward in 2010 here at JB. A happy and healthy new year to all of you and thanks for being with us! We got something on the list …
Everyone is reviewing the past year, also the whole last decade and I really enjoyed reading some of these lists. And recovering things that are seemingly long lost is a lot of fun (or a punch of reality). I love lists but making them by myself sometimes can be an uncomfortable trip. But as I can’t elude from all these lists, I have to make a short round-up of the year for JB. Won’t write another review of the decade, it would make sense though, because JUSTBREATHE. already exists since 2002. But I will merge just a few of these moments of 2009 that have been important or interesting to me. It definitely was a good year: JB. Magazine came back in May 2009 after a three year break!
I’ll share some music, videos, pictures, designs … within the next few days.
Soon to come: Interview with Zach Frechette, Editor-In-Chief of GOOD Magazine & some hot tunes on The Dusty Cabinets!
