Europeskate Pic Of The Day June 30th 2009

Last day of June in 2009 and the Europeskate Pic Of The Day series continues with a mad shot under a wicked construction of a bridge. Jasper is the skater’s name who climbed up and skated this piece of mondern architecture. The man behind the lense for this shot – Kerwin Groot on Flickr.

Europeskate Pic Of The Day June 29th 2009

Four days break from the last Pic Of The day – ouch! Way too long of a wait so the next Europeskate Pic Of The Day is back and for June 29th 2009 it is a great capture of a backside tailslide done by a certain Kevin Pencak. Just check out how crisp the action is – I have to ask the man behind the lense for this shot – kp3452000 on Flickr – how he came to this shot.

The CPH Pro 2009 contest results!

Yet another contest weekend comes to an end and it seems Copenhagen left it’s footprint behind on many skater and spectator. Killian Heuberger will remember his tough slam, that’s for sure so word up for him. I personally liked the look of the course which is tighter than many other street courses I’ve seen thus making it more fun to watch as the skaters were forced to try different looking lines. And the webcasts throughout the weekend were perfect, big thanks goes out to DVS for that as well.

And the results are:

1. Torey Pudwill
2. Eric Koston
3. Eero Antilla
4. Zered Bassett
5. Kerry Getz
6. Neverton Gasella
7.Daniel Viera
8. Phil Zwijsen
9. Klaus Bohms
10. Chris Aström
11. Matt Beach
12. Killian Heuberger

Best trick over the green box (watch the videos and know what is meant!):

1. Torey Pudwill – frontside kickflip over the box
2. Neverton Gasella – kickflip bs nosebluntslide
3. Carlos Riberiro – backsmith to fs 180 out
4. Elton Melonio – impossible lipslide
5. Alexandre Masotti – nollie heelflip tailslide to fakie
