Malmö, Sweden’s UltraBowl II held last August in Stäpelbäddsparken’s ‘backyard pool’ had some truly insane skateboard action going down!

Skaters included: Kevin Kowalski, Josh Mattson, Ben Raybourn, Cody Lockwood, Zarosh Eggleston, Per Magnusson, Kevin Wenzke, Guillarme Mocquin, Julien Benoliel, Tim Johnson, Benji Galloway, Josh “Skreetch” Sandoval, Frank Faria, Alex Giraud, Björn Klotz, Anders Tellen, Mathias Nylen, Andreas “Snooken” Lindstöm… to name a few…

European Skate Championships (Basel, Switzerland) 1/2 Pipe

Generally speaking, I wouldn’t travel to a different country for a half pipe (or indoor wooden street) contest. However, pay my transportation and give me a 5 star hotel to crash in for 3 days to photograph and party with some of the best skateboarders in Europe, and without hesitation, I’m there.
