Vans brought to life the creative concepts of four of the earlier selected skateboard brands and their idea for the ultimate obstacle - each inspired by Hamburg's naughty and nautical past and present. The designs by Cliché, Element Europe, Death Skateboards and Antiz were realised by famous ramp builder Andreas "Schützi" Schützenberger of IOU Ramps and installed on the Reeperbahn to be skated for one day only.


Team Death consists of Dan Cates, Adam Moss, Mark Nicolson and Mark "Radman" Radden.

Team Manager Dan Cates christened the Death Skateboards Obstacle the 'The Spot Pirate' as the team pillaged some of their favorite skate spots from around the Europe and turned them into something new.
