Vert skating is far from dead, a vert ramp inside a hockey rink with the stands packed, so sick.
Roman pabich, clay K, Allysha Le, Beckett and Bucky lasek killed it.
Gui Khury may not have even hit his teens but lost some teeth.

Not sure if crowd and location of this contest are a good indicator for how alive halfpipe skateboarding is. It was held at that skateboarding school in Malmö, so skateboarding is totally a thing there and any international event will attract a lot of people in a small city like that.

More vert, please! This shows how diverse it is now, and the more people who get into it, shit gets crazier, and vert button will be used a lot less.

Clay Kreiner deserves a mention as well. Best padless 540s since this:

I think non-skateboarding viewers would rather watch this too. Such a bummer it was removed from the X Games for that megaramp Beaver Fleming bullshit.

Must be difficult for Cedric being the older brother living in the younger brother's shadow and feeling the need to overcompensate by wearing a tough guy beanie and flipping off the camera

I must say, the most shocking thing in this whole clip was Andy Mac wearing Vans and not Airwalks. God is dead!
