Vert Attack 5

Vert Attack 5 in the latest Kingpin Magazine

In the latest Kingpin magazine we find a spread from Vert Attack 5 that went down at Bryggeriet in the beginning of February. Vert Attack has grown from a small local competition to a fantastic international vert festival but still kept its integrity and roots. Vert Attack is for everyone that loves (mid)vert or Folkvert – peoples vert as we call it here. This year we had skaters from all over the world with some special appearances from Christian Hosoi, Steve Caballero, Neal Hendrix, Alex Perelson and Jeff Hedges that joined the already strong field of rippers like Rune Glifberg, Nicky Guerrero, Anders Tellen, Sam Beckett and Jake Anderson.

Vert Attack is one of the greatest competitions around so make sure to clear the calendar in the end of january, beginning of february when Vert Attack 6 will take place.

Incase you missed the comp or you want to relive it the whole 8 hours of vert gnarl is saved below. Enjoy!
