Copenhagen Open 2025

Got to see BA’s mini-doc in a proper theater.

The scene at Faelledparken.

The EU kids are alright.

You know Rune was there!

The fans want vert.

We got to see Arto all week.

Oski was giving out the cash and Pedro brought the hype.

Oski was giving out the cash and Pedro brought the hype.

It was really mellow when we pulled up.

Propped up slabs of custom-poured concrete: genius.

That board needs wider trucks, right?

Denmark fun fact: drinking age for “beer” is 16.

Even with a great seat like this, you still couldn’t see the skating.

Yes, there’s a concrete bank-to-bank in there somewhere.

I got to congratulate Alex Visrad on getting his pro board.

As with most spots, definitely not as easy as it looks.

No problem heelflip for Jake.

If it’s humanly possible, Ryan can tre flip it.

This would be defined as a takeover.

Denmark fun fact: it’s legal to drink on the streets.

As the sun was setting around 10pm, the party was still going.

Scuba Steve is really excited about something.

I always suggest that we get there earlier than we actually need to. First ones in, last to leave.

You know the names are hard to spell if Rob is handing over his computer for registration.

Rob was probably getting frustrated with the hunting and pecking.

We got to create a lot of new profiles in The Boardr Live.

It was busy enough where Jorge had to jump in with registering the kids, too.

Hopefully we see these kids still skating when we do CPH Open 10 years from now.

This is what CPH calls a block party!

PRod executing the “hang out, look cool” absolutely perfectly.

So many people that it was nearly impossible for the skaters to get a proper run-up.

It was my 30-Year-Anniversary of asking skaters to move back.

When Tim O is on the mic, I know it’s handled.

Let the music play.

Very proper prizing: Hayley Wilson decks and footwear.

When Paul is personally handing out the prizing, you’re stoked.

Can you find Doobie and Davison?

Hayley giving out her product as prizes…yes!

Yes Hayley, I’ll take a fist bump.

Top three from 15 and Under.

I bet Paul remembers when he was that kid and has a good story to go with it.

The gang’s all here.

This was one of the few completely open events of the weekend.

You know that Zion is down to watch and support.

The apartment building. The mural. The skatepark. The back tail. Beautiful.

This little concrete mini-ramp is just one of SO many micro-spots sprinkled throughout Copenhagen.

Lunch, drinks, sunshine, and a mini-ramp. Typical EU summer day.

Jax is the coolest.

Yep, the flatground is asphalt, but it wasn’t soggy. Even though it’s sunny, it was still a bit chilly, especially when you’re from Florida.

The skatepark is along a busy bike/walking path, so the crowd really lined up.

Devin Flynn was there!

How do my nails look tho?

As I’ve mentioned, I like giving away money.

This is what we call a “Brazilian handshake.” There’s something very special about a proper embrace with a Brazilian.

Top three of Open. These guys ended up skating most of the events the rest of the week.

The Unity Session went down at Den Rode Plads, but that’s The Red Plaza to us Americans that only know one language.

Down for the leather pants.

I think he’s about to Crip Walk.

Watch those shins! They are in the danger zone.

Marcelo has his eyes on the prize.

The scene was chaotic and awesome.

The Effs family defines dope.

Ever seen pizza oven tuk tuk in the States?

Take their phones away and make them get creative.

Oski with a bs floater.

The Hullet is no joke.

Can’t go wrong with a shifty.

Cody could pass as a Euro in this one.

The Triangle got ridiculously packed.

Keeping the crowd off of the concrete was a challenge.

It was a little chilly with that wind whipping off the water.

Some of the pros arrived on a boat!

There is something for everyone at The Triangle.

How To Look Cool by Zion Effs.

Tim with the fancy canned alcoholic bev.

Koston IRL is always a pleasure.

There he is! If he’s not on your favs list, we’re not friends.

Were we actually working, or just scrolling the Gram?

Pretty sure Koston has skated every single CPH.

Look at that smile!

One of the main forces behind CPH Open, Simon.

Vincent is always ripping.

This was one of the best events of the week.

No idea what I was talking about, but I likely confused Eric.

Let’s just call this the “Nike Image of the Week.”

The crowd could have used grandstands, but then it just wouldn’t be CPH Open

Giving out cash is one of my favorite things to do at these events.

All I can look at in this one is my messed up hair. It was driving me insane.

Seriously diversified talent on the makeshift podium.

Could you imagine Kevin on April and Shane on Creature?

There are too many after-parties.

But this one had a Special Guest DJ!

I wasn’t personally there, but this seemed like a very hyped-up moment.

I’m sure this photo was taken was waaayyy past my bedtime.

That PR all-over-print is a class.

Gary vs Jorge was the ultimate shit-talking match-up.

Hey Elissa, check out this clip.

Nike SB provided basketball gear for everyone.

You know another run of these is not coming!

A couple of people hit me up to get a basketball. Not happening. Sorry.

Jorge giving his best attempt at MCing.

These guys are in t-shirts and I was running four layers.

Apparently we run basketball tournaments now, too.

I think you can see it in my face that I started to feel a little bit worn out by Saturday.

I don’t watch comedies, but I’m down for a laugh IRL.

You notice the amazing skate spot in the background, right?

MF action shot!

Gary took the basketball tourney very seriously.

The scene was rad. At first I thought, “Really? Basketball?” I was wrong.

Oh what…Elissa can shoot?!

Part agent, part coach. Jorge is always down to dish out advice.

That’s the kinda match-up we like to see!

How does the saying go? Nothing but net?

I’m not exactly sure why I had the microphone, since I know nothing about basketball.

All of the Nike SB superstars were out there!

Carlos standing up tall.

How rad is it that Tiago skated in the Contest?!

These guys had the best view.

Malto and PRod wearing the same shirt got me smiling.

The “main event” was held at the city center. Epic location.

Tre flip. Check that fountain in the background tho.

Juni skated like you’d play a video game. It was off the charts.

These are the types of photos we’ll look back at in 10 years and be hyped.

Juni preparing to either bs flip or big flip out of this one.

#MEMEME right after getting Shane’s board to my face.

Tim out there telling everyone what’s up.

That building in the background is 400 years old.

The scene…can’t get enough of it.

Tobias was so excited holding the USD.

Zion just pushing over the bank to bank is good enough.

Pretty amazing that this guy was painting the scene.

And there’s the proof that he was painting the scene.

Everyone be trying to get a clip of Tiago!

It’s hard to tell from this pic, but this is the back of a truck that was driven spot to spot all week to provide sound.

Leticia was there!

Elissa was there. Florida!

If I could pull it off, I’d have my hair braided like Marcelo’s.

Seeing Jax daily was a highlight.

Get a view of the action any way you can.

There’s that damn pizza oven tuk tuk again! I had a pizza from it…delicious.

Felipe was out there getting it.

There’s something about Jamie. Even Stefan can’t take his eyes off of him.

Lots of beers, lots of smoke.

Keld was personally walking around handing out burgers. My man.

I had a few of those burgers earlier in the week and they hit the spot.

Tim talked a lot over the four-day event. Jason was the only judge BTW. Did you realize that?

Best Death Race of all time.

Oski vs Vincent was awesome.

Two guys that know how to fly off a jump ramp.

That back foot…for real?!

Oh, you’re racing Baekkel? Bummer.

Now that was one helluva match-up.

The kids are inspired.

KB was MVP of CPH Open 2025!

Pretty sure Jorge paid Shane to shoot his board into my face.

Gav-O was a ripping ATV all week!

Juni must have been tripping. He’s 17 and everyone was celebrating his win.

That’s what it looked like right after we did the Awards.

Yo man, weren’t you in Underachievers?!

Post contest hang-out session.

This is a very classic photo of Copenhagen.

Footage will drop with the part. Yeah right!

It’s serious when the shirt is tucked in.

Rob is still able to grab his board!

Trying too hard to look cool at my favorite spot, The Dish.

Ishod must be thinking, “Get off me, Jorge.”

It’s okay to use “legend” in this one.

Checking the footage after too many tries.

Your skin almost melts off inside the sauna truck.

Then a dip in that cold ass water feels SO good.

Swimming against the current was a bit of a challenge.
