The notion of skateboarding in the vicinity of a church generally doesn’t fly with its congregation, but the idea of skating inside of one is borderline sacrilege in some circles.

The Skatehal Arnhem was founded in 2010 by a small group of zealous skaters, and has been operated and maintained over the past four years with the help of local sponsors and volunteers. Take a special look inside the Skatehal Arnhem with a tour led by Dutch ripper Douwe Macare and RIDE Channel, then head over to the park organization’s website to learn more.
