Swedens Nacka Bowl Bash Video And Results
June 10th, 2010 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
This past weekend in Stockholm, Sweden skaters and bowl lovers flocked to the Nacka Bowl Bash which is part of the 2010 Betongcupen skateboard bowl contest series in Sweden. The bowl looks fantastic (Sweden is a gold mine for great concrete spots!) and the skating was furious.
At the end Oski Rozenberg Hallberg from Malmo, Sweden took first place with the well-known Alex Giraud from Marseille, France coming in second and Fernando Bramsmark also from Malmo coming in third! The next stop in the Betongcupen heads towards Falkenberg (Vallarna Skatepark) on June 19th 2010.

May 15th, 2010 / 1 Comment » / by Jonathan Young
Back from my break from the Europeskate site due to unforeseen piles of work – but now I’m off for a while and it’s time to get this site rocking again. Especially I’ve decided to make sure I include a Lot more of the European news again to keep the name of the site a bit more close to home.
Enough talking: the Swedish “Betongcupen” (Concrete Cup I’m guessing) is supposed to kick off today, May 15th 2010, at the wonderful Sibbarp skateparj in Malmö, Sweden. I heard they may have to postpone it until tomorrow but I’m sure if you are at that corner of the Earth around this time, you’ll know. Take a look after the jump at some pictures and a video of the park! Read more…

Either I’ve been out of the info loop or it has been a bit quiet with Bellows Skateboards out of Sweden – whatever it was they are back on my radar with a nice six minute video featuring Mika Edin and filmed by Erik Abrahamsson during the summer months of 2009. And they have a brand new site started up as well, all perfectly understandable for everybody speaking English – well, except for many comments.

Vert Attack 3 – Fläsk TV Documentary Clip
October 23rd, 2009 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
If you haven’t noticed yet, I admit that I tend to try and add in news/videos/whatever about vert and bowl riding a bit more than the usual street clips – just personal preference and it always gets my blood cooking for more when I see where vert skating is headed.
For the past three years, the skateboard city of Malmö in Sweden has rounded up vert skaters from around Europe to let the world see that vert skating is very much alive. Fläsk TV recently put their short documentary of the Vert Attack III from January 2009 online – here it is, making me hungry for more!
