The past weekend we hosted Vert Attack 4 at Bryggeriet here in Malmö. The outcome was fantastic with almost 70 participants from all over Europe. This midvert celebration comp has really hit hard on the European vert scene and everyone seems to love it. Our vert ramp is a bit dated, so a bit smaller and less intimidating than the modern vertramp monsters. This really attracts skaters from all different backgrounds, not just for “vert jocks” basically, and the skating is much more entertaining and fun to watch. Andy Scott skated like a god and showed us all how beautiful it all can be.

Ian Brown made an appearance here in Malmö last friday and did a great gig at KB. Amazing performance from a true legendary man.

Haven’t seen this one in the mags yet but since Carhartt runs adverts in most mags around Europe I’m not sure I ever will. But here it is. Tom Derichs in Malmö last summer.

On my way home to Malmö and stuck in the airport in Geneva due to som fresh snow. It’s been a good couple of weeks with great powder in Avoriaz and some contest shooting at the Roxy Chicken Jam in Saalbach Hinterglemm in Austria. The next couple of days I will be glued to the computer trying to catch up with awaiting deadlines.

If you like good skate competitions, that are just as good as you remember they used to be, then Vert Attack 4 at Bryggeriet Skatepark will be just that. I have just finished the flyer for the event and Teaser #1 has just been released. The event will be on the 30th of January 2010. See you there.

Two greats in one shot. One great entertainer and one great concrete skatepark builder from Concreatures.

One of my new Carhartt ads are out. The photo was shot this summer here in Malmö and the talent on the board is Pete Ruikka doing a fs 180 fakie nosegrind. With rain coming down, high winds and all around nasty conditions it was quite unexpected that anything went down on this session really.
Hopefully I can get hold of a better scan of the ad than this one day. Here’s the new scan provided by the fantastic Carhartt.

And here’s the original shot.
