2er DIY Skatepark Builders Jam 2022

September 22, 2022

2er DIY Skatepark, one of Europe's largest DIY's, has been revamped and has got some rad new obstacles to hit. We reached out to Yamato Living Ramps to find out more.

2er DIY Skatepark is one main part our company’s foundation. Yamato Living Ramps evolved from 2er skatepark and Betonhausen DIY in Berlin. 2er started with some really simple ramps more than 15 years ago and is now one of Europe’s largest DIY’s.

Today it’s run by an official non-profit club, 2er skateboarding e.V. The park has been legal for several years, with differing contracts. Recently, the land got sold to the city of Hannover who then offered the e.V. a 50 year lease. This of course was a big push for more building to be done on the park. We’ve established the Builders Jam format in the past to tackle quick development several times now.

Friends and concrete lovers gather from near and far, material, places to crash, food and a ton of drinks are provided, and with a common goal to chase, volunteers are then set free to shape the park. This particular time, Yamato orchestrated a bit more, we tore down a section of the park prior to people arriving, and a rough idea was drafted within the members of the e.V. A big push this time came with the Belgian crew that showed up. It was nice to see the evolution of skills and size of pieces that got tackled.

In the end, 2er now features a radical steep bank / built-in loop section, a steep vert QP, a sick granite lip pocket and a dip / step-up push-bump thingy for a ton of new options in the park.

Personally, I was sceptical about the work load / fun-skatability ratio of the loop thing, but I got proven wrong. Seeing people pump the doorway and the loop in one flow is pretty rad. I can’t wait for the next section to get build, which – so they say - should then be a more streety bit. Time will tell.
