Geil und Gefährlich - Utopia DIY

2020 marks the year of the big C when being around friends became difficult, travel occasions were rare and skateparks (temporarily) closed. One place that was so much more than just a "park" even shut down permanently (RIP UTOPIA DIY). A magical place located on a hill behind Dortmund's infamous U. A home to skateboarding built by locals. A dream it - do it - create it yourself kinda place that was shaped by a community and shaped a whole new community in itself. Ultimately torn down for the ugly sake of big business.

But skateboarding-wise 2020 wasn't so shitty after all, it bred creativity and brought different people together. Jana started filming a bunch of girls skating Utopia and ended up documenting a part of the female skate scene of the ruhr area that grew so much during the last few years. This is a testimony of their love for doing silly things on wooden toys, overcoming fears and supporting each other. Stay geil and gefährlich, girls*.
