Thomas Eggspühler • FS 5-0 • Rietheim, Switzerland

’Back in 2018 I received a message from my homie Thomas, that he has found an untouched spot. It didn’t even take me a second to realize the potential of this spot. Located in the North of Switzerland, next to the German border. It’s surrounded by agricultural fields and maybe the only bit of skateable concrete is exactly next to the rail. As if it was meant to be skated. Thomas immediately landed the 5050. So he decided to do a 5-0. After the first try, when I checked the image on my camera, I directly felt happy how it turned out and I knew that shot is going to be one that I will like for a long time. Maybe it’s because it’s not the typical “every day skatespot”. Or maybe because so much nature was involved. Thomas and I are not skating very often together. But he always hits me up with crazy new spots. So it’s always a pleasure to create something with him.’
