This year's Copenhagen trip was by far one of the most surreal scooter adventures that I've ever been on. Thanks to Blaqe, Conor Davidson, Hep Greg, Steve Fales, Logan Fuller, Jon Archer, & I flew out to Denmark for 10 days of shredding, drinking, and eating kebab. Although I took about a thousand pictures on my phone, Conor came through with his camera to take some real dope shots of what went down. These are some of our favorites, words by the Conor!

Beach Tader - Greg gets up everywhere. While we enjoyed the water, he made sure to mark his
territory...with shells.
|
 |
Christiana Boat - Some cool model sailboats outside Christiania. This was the first places we
were introduced to in Copenhagen. Here we enjoyed our first beers and got to meet some of
Johan’s friends who hung out with us for the entirety of the trip (shouts to Phillip Haj).
|
 |
| Wonderland - This bowl, Wonderland, is found in Christiania. Here we met up with Madis Kukk, Helmeri, and the Phoenix dudes, drank beers and continued until 5am. Good start, rad finish. |
 |
Big Tuborg - It’s either Carlsberg or Tuborg in Denmark. I was even told Corona’s are for girls, by a Danish chick. I love Denmark, but to be honest, American beers are king.
|
 |
Chili Dog - The most phallic version of a hot dog can be found in Denmark. A slippery 7/11 beef link with creme filling mmmmmmmm.
|
 |
| Dock Hubbas - Steve's scooter went off the dock at this spot. The woman in the wheelchair offered her cane to help pull it out but it was way too short, still a nice gesture. She was the first one clapping when Steve emerged out of the freezing Baltic grime. |
 |
City Skatepark - This was some small skatepark that we went to because everybody seemed to
be burnt. But it turned out to be one hell of a sesh, producing countless clips. Emi, the local, tore
it up too. Look forward to seeing clips of him in the video.
|
 |
Crew Luggage - While we waited for Johan to clean up his apartment and our hostel reservation
to begin, we waited with our luggage at the skatepark nearby. We also said our goodbyes to JD,
who we’d meet up with later in Helsingor.
|
 |
| Greg Icepick - One crusty ass icepick from the Tader man himself. |
 |
| Wood Boat - A replica of Noah’s ark. |
 |
| Hostel Spa - This is the hostel we stayed at in downtown Copenhagen. It was nice. |
 |
Johan Barspin - Johan said he’d been wanting to do this barspin for awhile. It could have been
the American (and a hint of Australian) spirit that got him to do it. Or maybe he’s just a fucking
psycho. Either way, he threw down.
|
 |
| Neighborhood Watch - We got caught up at this spot for a lot longer than we expected. By the end we made a buncha new friends and one enemy who tried to throw a rock at us cause he didn't understand english. |
 |
| Conor Hop - As Jon near killed himself filming a trick, I enjoyed this bump to pole...my kind of spot. Thanks Johan for the flick. |
 |
Kebabish - When in Cali, you eat Burritos. When in Denmark, you eat Kebabs. The first couple
days we were getting sick of them. By the last, we craved.
|
 |
Helsingor Guest House - This is one of the three guest houses at Henrik’s Helsingor Summer
House (mansion). This is where we stayed on the last weekend of the trip. We were welcomed
with a kiddie pool full of liquor and Heinekens. I am still contemplating whether it was real.
|
 |
Kiddie Pool - This is the kiddie pool...definitely not real.
|
 |
| Logan Check - If there was an MVP of the trip, it would have to be Logan. He won 3rd place at
the first comp and tied for first, with Koda, at the second. He then proceeded to blow most of his
winnings on beer and 7/11 chicken sticks, for the crew, in the spirit of having an epic time...boss!
|
 |
| Matt Hop Pyramid - What is this doing here? Nobody knows, but it had to get blasted! Matt with a full charge hop through the trees. |
 |
| Matt Hop Table - While the crew sits on, Matt hops over. Tables, the best. |
 |
Nansengade - Oh you Scandinavian architects you…
|
 |
Ferry Sweden - Took a ferry to Sweden. Rode around frantically for 2 hours. Left.
|
 |
Sweden Spot - This was the spot we rode in Sweden. It proved to be a solid hour of
entertainment and totally worth the international ferry ride.
|
 |
Amsterdam Trolley - I got to stop in Amsterdam for a night on my way back home. I thought it
was going to be an awesome time, but to be honest it was kind of depressing. You realize how
much more fun it is to experience new places with close friends. It was fun just walking around,
