The second day of the mighty CPH OPEN and it was back to the streets for an afternoon of shutdown and roadblock Copenhagen style. First stop was the Open Ledge Session at ‘Jarmers Plads’, the OG CPH spot in the city was rammed on a sunny day for some serious attack. Although the ground is deceptively rough the quality of skating in the 10 minute jams was nothing but world class from all competitors.
The journey to the next spot was an event in itself with 500 skaters crusing on bikes led by a sound system in true carnival fashion pack like through the city stoking out everyone it passed. With everything now legit in skateboarding, session 2 consisted of a long flat rail and 2 jump ramps for 100% old school fly off session. At first confusing some of the younger skaters they we soon set right by a demonstration of style and elegance from Alex Olson by means of Christ Airs and tweaked Japans. With the whole road shut down block party style, skaters needed to hit both the rail and ramp to be in with a chance of some money and the all important ticket to the finals a the CPH Skatepark tomorrow.
