Copenhagen Just Had the Best Vert Session That Ever Happened
Published 8/31/2014 by Rob Meronek
After things got rained out on Sunday, we moved it all over to Copenhagen Skatepark and added a Vert Jam along with a tight squeeze for the crowd into the bowl there. Then followed the usual after-party until 6am. HiDefJoe's got a video recap and I've got a weekend camera dump below.

I still can't believe what went down the other day in this BMX kingdom.
In case you missed my impromptu free performance here of my fallback career skills, you can catch part of the act here.
Paled in comparison to my performances.
Finally, everyone arrives, but no one brings their boards. Today is a big chill fest. Today at 'work' in Copenhagen at the Christania Bowl, Porpe rolled dope, napped in a hammock, had HiDefJoe bring him coffee and lunch, then did nap number two before calling it a day. How do I get a job like that? Thank you to the good people of Copenhagen for having us here for another fun time and insane skateboarding.

Copenhagen Bowl 2014: Rain in the Pool
8/30/2014
The only thing unmellow about the Pool Contest yesterday was the serious ripping going down. At 2pm when the Contest was supposed to start, neither skaters or crowd were on site. Then around 3pm, they all descended in mellow troves, Tuborgs and spliffs in hand. We made it through some Jams before the rain turned it into a big chillfest under the trees. Check out more photos from Neal Hendrix and HiDefJoe's video recap in another episode of On The Boardr.

The first of four ripping days of bowl skateboarding and friendly faces here in Copenhagen is a wrap. Neal Hendrix is behind the shutter and HiDefJoe is on it for the video. They've got photos and an episode of On The Boardr to make you feel like you where right here with us if you aren't able to make it here. Today when we walked into this BMX bowl, we weren't sure what would be going down in there. It wasn't long before Raven Tershy, Ronnie Sandoval, Greyson Fletcher, and more were dropping jaws in that thing.

That was quite a mix of old guys and new guys, legends and nobody's. It would be a nice vert fairy tale if it came back from the coffin and lived happily every after, even if it was a zombie. Even Bob Burnquist was there? Mike Frazier? Neal Hendrix got second? What year is it? Hell yeah, dudes.
