Léo Poulet and Elliott Auffray first made a name for themselves building DIY spots in Grenoble. Today, they travel the globe with the organization Wonders Around the World, helping local communities build professional skateparks for free.

Back home, they’ve established their own little off-grid community just outside of Grenoble – a lifestyle dedicated to freedom and living bill-free. While Léo lives in a handcrafted tiny house, Elliott calls his van home, with both enjoying the ultimate luxury: a private miniramp right on their land.

And Léo and Elliott are not the only DIY enthusiasts who found new ways of living. Dive deeper into the alternative lifestyles of more skatepark builders in our latest issue.
