Vert Attack 6 – Malmö, Sweden – 2012

A year late and a euro short… last January, over 1 year ago, was VERT ATTACK 6, an epic vert two day show down on Malmö’s “mid size” vert ramp at Brygerriet skatepark. The year before, Vert Attack 5 showcased vert skateboarding legends Steve Caballero and Christian Hosoi, and this years old school legend was none other than Duane Peters! Other than the the Master of Disaster showing up to perform practically every trick he invented, on hand were young gun american rippers Brad McClain ane Ben Hatchell who skated the ramp padless with every lip trick in the book as if it were a miniramp.

Pipeline Reunion – Badlands Bash in Upland, California

Words could not describe the amazing skating that went down at Upland Skatepark celebrated by the Hoffman Family and the 35th anniversary of the Pipeline with their “Badlands Bash”. Dave Duncan was on the mic, but Salba was running the show.

Skaters included legends: Salba, Malba, Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Steve Caballero, Eddie Elguera, Christian Hosoi, Sergie Ventura, and Jay Adams. Lots of up and coming sons of Badlanders including Frankie Fernandez, Kevin Burke and Tristan Rennie held it down and insured the Badlands are in good hands for generations to come.

Vert Attack 5 – Malmö, Sweden – 2011
