Vienna is a big city in a small country with a lot of spots and a hefty crew that knows them all. There are dozens of guys over the age of 25 or 30 that still shred on a regular basis. These dudes hold it down and get out there just as hard as the young ones.
Michael Paul, Christian Tanzer, Philipp Schuster, Lukas Lerperger, and Martin Schiedl tell you about Vienna’s first class skate scene! Take a closer look at the scene in a 1.7 million city that sometimes seems to be a village.

This simple, cheap and tasty meal, optionally vegetarian or vegan, is just another example on how to eat well and healthy while saving money. It’s also a very good recipe to feed a whole crew on a tight budget and with basic equipment.
Cities like Vienna make people think of really old, cheesy stuff: Sound of music stereotypes and old monarchic nostalgia are probably the first pictures that come to a lot of people’s minds. More generally, Austria does remind people of snow and mountains, both of which are particularly not to be found in the Austrian capital.
Vienna is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was the capital of a culturally and politically leading empire in Europe until World War One. Now it is the capital of Austria, one of the smallest countries in Europe. Its abundance of ressources makes Austrians enjoy one of the highest quality of life in the world.
Vienna is a true diamond, diverse and unique, full of history and with one of the highest quality of life in the world. It offers a great variety of things and with its super smooth sidewalks and a pretty compact structure it is a pleasure to skate around, wheither it is from spot to spot or just to suck up its unique athmosphere.
