n 2010 Showroom MAMA organized the international ideas competition "Reclaiming the Street", asking them to design a skateable art object. The result was more design than art. Made for young people, especially skateboarders and freestylers, who use the public space in a creative way. The turn was designed to provide the skateboarder with as much challenge as possible. The wood used was recycled, because it came from an old church floor. Due to weather conditions, the wood used became so bad in the short term that the object could no longer be used. In the summer of 2016, the woodwork was replaced and the object restored.
