Vert Attack 2018

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.

Bucky‘s Bs Noseblunt made the halfpipe look like a miniramp. Also crazy to see that Sandro Dias ist still doing the highest airs, he got that figured out like no one else. Others need a Megaramp to take off like that.

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.

The progression from early vert skating to now is unbelievable! Show this video to a Public Domain-era Bucky and he'd go mental.

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.

My first thought haha

I love vert skating, and this contest was so enjoyable to watch. You could tell everyone was having a good time, and that's the part of skating I love. Auby's no grab air to fakie was fucked.

More Bucky insanity:

he is 45 years old now.

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

Unpopular opinion: I'd rather watch this than the Vans Park Series-type "park" contests which will be in the Olympics. 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.

don't think the Olympics are very popular among the SLAP population....

You can tell Bucky's trying to contribute more to the kids' college fund, dude is wild

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

It's 2018, vert is alive and kicking, the kids are alright.

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