Ultra Bowl 6 – Malmö, Sweden – photo report

Malmö Ultra Bowl – 2014

Ultra Bowl is the best event I witnessed this year (it is probably at the same level of Bowl-a-Rama and CPH Pro, which I missed). Again everything was perfect: very good organization, incredible list of skaters, new Viking Blocks pool cooping, nice people having a good time… except for the heavy rain on Sunday. So once more no finals, but since it was kind of predicted, almost everything was finished already on Saturday. Only the finals did not go on (semi-finals were moved from Sunday to Saturday). Anyway, Oskar Rozenberg won and he deserved it. Chris Russell, Cody Lockwood and Nick Peterson ripped the place apart – it is always a pleasure to see them skating. It was the first time I saw Sky Siljeg on a skate and he impressed me a lot. He can do a lot of creative tricks nobody else did. Next year, let’s hope the rain will give a break and let us enjoy also the Sunday of this great event. Thumbs up for the Bryggeriet crew and all the people involved!
