Spleen Collective, the New Hub of European Street Culture

Spleen Collective emerges from a collaborative effort to unite the European snowboarding scene through a creative project that truly reflects our shared vision. Sure, snowboarding brought us together, but it didn’t take long to realize we had way more in common—art, photography, skateboarding, architecture, music... By combining all our passions, we created this collective, brought to life through a 150-page book packed with creativity, stories, and collaboration. It’s an original coffee table book, something you can come back to again and again. Inside, each member shares their unique vision, rooted in snowboarding but reaching far beyond. This is an independent, ad-free edition, so we can keep full creative control. But we need your help! Through this crowdfunding campaign, we’re offering different pre-order packs so you can support us however you feel—whether it’s a little, a lot, or passionately. In recent years, we’ve seen some amazing projects pop up across Europe. Finland’s Melter brought together the entire local snowboard scene for a shared project; Switzerland’s Escape Video delivers high-quality content every year with unique events and some seriously cool merch. In Norway, Sensesse shines a spotlight on girl power, blending snowboarding, fashion, and music with a style all its own. Brust Studio in France gets more creative with every release, mixing art, snowboarding, and music in their videos and exhibitions. From Spain, From The Trunk combines its skate influences with a strong identity and an unending passion for snowboarding. And let’s not forget the Simpson Brothers from Wales, who champion inclusivity, getting new riders into street snowboarding, leading 100% female projects, and even hosting sessions that introduce migrants to the joys of snowboarding! There are so many other crews, like Stay Basket, WOP, ManWeNeedACam, KillDeath, PCP, Mushroom, TapeHomie, and more, all pushing the limits of creativity and the snowboard scene. Though snowboarding is where it all began, Spleen Collective is about more than just one sport. It’s a space where ideas, creativity, and passion from all forms of street culture flow freely. We’re here to share our vision and bring together those who feel the same vibe. We don’t know exactly where this collective will lead us, but we knew we needed something fresh, something new, that truly captures our vision and the incredible people around us.
