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.

Luxemburg – Full pipe and Ditch session

When I got my first glimpse of the fullpipe back in early 1990, I was breathless. It seemed huge to me – even though you can only ride a small part of the whole heigth. It looked like the stuff I had only seen in 80’s videos from the US : vertical, concrete and gnarly. Best part of it – it was located something like a mile from my home, and it had taken me a year to figure out that there was such a thing.
