Can’t wait for his Trap Skateboards part!

The Europeskate Vert Skateboarding Week With A Vert Trick Dictionary

Rise and shine everybody as it’s Friday, the first day of the Vert Attack VII contest in Malmö, Sweden and I’m continuing to celebrate vert skateboarding with the “Europeskate Vert Skateboarding Week” and videos to keep us all wanting to get some vert riding done. As I’m ‘stuck’ in Hamburg, I’ll try at least to get a ride in this afternoon on the vert ramp before dedicating my time to watch the live webcast this afternoon.

This video clip features Tony Hawk, Jesse Fritsch and Mathias Ringstrom gives everybody the chance to brush up on their vert skateboard trick vocabulary so you can watch the live Vert Attack VII webcast (head over to Skatemalmo.se to watch it for two days straight!) and actually know what they are doing!

Paul Zitzer Joins Roger Skateboards

Morning out there! It’s still Europeskate Vert Week and we have a treat for you today. Or let’s put it this way: Roger Skateboards does. Under the title “Paul Zitzer : Roger Skateboards Token Older Vert Skater” Paul Zitzer shows us all once again that being over 40 years old doesn’t mean you can’t still rip a vert ramp or whatever you skate.

I also did a little digging and found this Gullwing Trucks video clip from 1994 – check out the tricks Paul was doing already back then! Too bad he isn’t going to the Vert Attack VII this weekend.

I added in Confusion Magazine’s video to get you even more psyched for the upcoming action but make sure you follow this link for the complete report and loads of photos from last year’s Vert Attack contest taken by Fred Ferand – it’s vert heaven!
