/ Finally an update! We have been busy with competition deadlines and with the Skatepark and the Urbanears shop, both of which are currently on site. In Falun the groundwork is progressing nicely, and you can start to see the beginnings of the park take shape as the builders lay the rebars. Check it out here! Unfortunately winter is about to kick in so the concrete will be poured in the spring as the snow melts. In the meantime, the Urbanears shop will finish at the end of this month so keep an eye out for some photos!
