Copenhagen and Malmo are both wonderful places to visit and skate. I don’t think I could be fucked with CPH Open though. The event gives skaters a license to behave like knobs. I’m sure the vast majority are sound and it would be cool to see the skating go down, but this always feels like one of those Euro stag do trips that Nike organises for its riders.

Yeah, agreed. It would be cool to see the skating for sure, but if I’m there I want to be on a purely skate tip and not sat down drinking all day. Praying I get back there next year.
I skated every day on the Berlin leg but when it came to the final days the only skating I could do was for transport as my legs were shot. So scored some weed at my local bar and spent the final day with mates drinking and enjoying the vibes watching the finals at dogshit park.
It does give license for People to be knobs but what’s changed since radlands/pioneer/house comps , nights of the living shred/video premiers ? Well we got a lot older and miserable for starters haha

Really good that.
Also reminded me of how fucking mental it is that Sean Smith nollie heeled that double set in Athens about a decade ago.

Sean Smith, wowza. Hugely talented. What’s he up to now?
Also, is that Greece double-set the same one that Penny rick-flipped (forgotten which part)?
Lives in London, has his own plastering company called Vertex Plastering and is still killing it.

His head is on a different level. Just madness but so damn good.
never heard of yer man but that was good. Bunch of London spots I’ve not really seen before as well
Rad little Alien edit. It seems like this time the ‘new’ Workshop aren’t trying too hard to lay on the look here’s an Alien Workshop video aesthetic. That’s still there but a bit more low key than of late.

Yes, that was pleasant.
This was sick. Never heard of him before, Italian kid who moved to London last year according to Free mag.
Not skating skating but this is kinda heavy.
Dude skated London better than a lot of sponsored locals.
