We've got two days under our belts out here in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Copenhagen Open, which if you've never been, is quite the experience! Day one saw us at the massive Faelledparken skatepark for an insane bowl/snakerun jam, then the whole crowd biked and skated over to Enghaveplads for another skate jam for cash and a premiere of the Antihero video. There are seriously more people here this year than I've ever seen in Copenhagen! Scroll through the flicks to fill in the gaps and if you have any questions, DM me on IG at @blair.alley. I'll be here all weekend, k?
Okay, let's start here. My plane landed at 4 pm, so I got to Faelledparken around 5:15 and the contest was well underway with a ridiculous attendance. Suffice to say I didn't get a good angle on these shots, but this is CPH local Rune Glifberg and he designed this park so this photo is getting run!Thumbs up from Simon, who's run CPH Open and Pro for over a decade.
