Copenhagen Pro 2013 Ring of Fire, Vert, and the Street Qualifiers

Giovanni Reda wins Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

Taylor Bingaman is getting ready for the Vert Contest with a 50-50 on the deck, not on the coping.

I know it's "newspaper style" to shoot vert photos without the coping in the frame, but I think I like this method better. It's just different and adds a little bit of an interesting effect being that tight on the skater without a bowed out fisheye shot. I think I'll shoot all my future vert photos like this now.

You don't need to see the coping to know that Alex Perelson is blasting backside airs.

Rune Glifberg killed it as usual in his hometown.

Pontus Bjorn on a judo air.

Pause for a gear check with Arto Saari.

The vert crowd was thick.

P-Stone is in a Tuborg tornado as usual, but still gets it done.

Braydon Szafranski is basically a Copenhagen local.

Jared Lucas is caught in the act of his #asstotrick move you'll see in any videos he is a part of.

Did Ryan Clements just win the Vert Contest?

These dudes claimed they were rolling through the crowd and shooting a photo with anyone famous. Of course the stopped at Jeff Pang.

The Euro gear always gets a little wacky.

This is the skateboard rockstar seating section. How many pros do you spy?

The session over this bump to trash can went on for hours. If any normal skater caught kickflips like Tommy Fynn, they'd break their ankle.

Alexander Risvad has a king sized 360 flip over it.

Andrew Reynolds' frontside flips will never get old.

Just a part of the huge crowd and scene on site.

Beagleoneism was there with a death in your face.

Yep, Austyn is on HUF now.

The Ring of Fire kicked off with a troop of whistling Viking women.

Diego Fiorese was first with a kickflip through the Ring of Fire.

There's another Tommy Fynn broken ankle kickflip.

Fernando went stale fish grab through it.

This guy was behind the crowd adding extra fire to the Ring of Fire.

The crowd seemed to triple in size once the Ring of Fire started.

Cyril Jackson and fans burning.

Every year we meet the happiest drunk strangers.

After calling it a night after the Ring of Fire, we're right back at the Park early the next day. Early being 1pm. Evan Smith is diving into the Danishes.

The lives of the party, Giovanni Reda and Eric Koston.

Sean Malto on Vine or something.

Porpe and I can't resist posing with the prize purse loot. That's $70,000 in Benjis right there.

I feel nervous handling all that.

Andrew, thanks for skating.

Peter Ramondetta - alley oop backside over the hip.

This might explain David Gravette's run.

If your event is going right, that means you can actually chill, watch, and enjoy it like the Copenhagen Pro staff is doing right here. Thanks again for having me out here.

Jared Lucas planning his next #asstotrick.

Damn, Stefan Janoski's frontside wallride nollie out looks so smooth and chill.

Luan Oliveira killed it as usual. That's a switch 360 flip.

Thanks Dustin Dollin for skating.

The shark bite protector is not just for ankles, it's also for family.

Evan Smith qualified 1st today. That's a nollie heel into the bank.

Ishod, Evan, Porpe, and Wes.

The Baker/Deathwish crew ran deep.

DC presented Cyril Jackson with his own special shoe colorway edition today. He was beyond hyped.

And there's David Gravette's run.

I'm now out to dinner with the ladies on the trip where we scrutinize street menus in search of good eats.

Did they really mean to call that bathroom the pisser?

Pretty much the best chicken sandwich I've ever had is right here at this place called Carlton.

It looks like lunch, but it's actually dinner at like 10pm right now. The sun goes down super late. We're saving the party for tomorrow. Good night Copenhagen.
