The Schuster Skate Villa has become the hippest of skate spots. A week after receiving keys to this neglected hunting lodge in Salzburg, Austrian skateboarder Philipp Schuster and his friends transformed this villa into an amazing ride. The villa may not be as glamorous as it once was, but it is definitely better after the Schuster facelift.
The DIY project was an incredible undertaking, using a few tonnes of building material to deck out the place and make it skateboard-friendly. Schuster also jazzed up the place by adding some fun animal antler decor.
The video is completely captivating as Schuster rides through all his hard work in one of the most incredible skate spots around.
