Cruising the skate utopia of Copenhagen

Scandinavian shred — The Stance Europe crew hit the Danish capital in this sweet edit with Ollie Lock, Jerome Campbell, Villads Larsen and Sarah Meurle.

When it’s not covered with snow, Copenhagen could give anywhere on the continent a run for its money as the best European city to go skating.

With this firmly in mind, Stance Europe hit the Danish capital hard with Fifty Fifty’s Ollie Lock, Sheffield’s poster boy Jerome Campbell and Streetmachine locals Villads Larsen and Sarah Meurle.

In this short edit from The Uncommon Thread series, the Stance crew tore it up across the city – soundtracked by the immense Shura – before beers and BBQs by the water.

Check out more from Stance.
