Sun, slo-mo pigeons & bombing hills in Barcelona: With Nike SB's Casper Brooker
- Text by Shelley Jones
Live every kid’s dream vicariously through London skateboarder Casper Brooker in our new video series From The Street Up, where we follow the talented competitor around the 2015 Nike SB Euro Series – kicking off in the European skate Mecca that is Barcelona.
For the first episode, shot by Dan Magee and John Fisher, we tag along with Casper to see another side to the city and the skate comp, waking up with the Slam City Skates rider in his hotel room and sticking close by as he navigates the course and the crowds of the Barcelona AM, the first of four stops on the Nike SB Euro Series.
Watch him as he bombs the hills of the Catalan capital and stay tuned for our next installment later this month when we document Casper on his home turf for the London AM at Bay Sixty6 and the subsequent Go Skateboarding Day shenanigans.
You can register to skate the London AM and find more details on the Nike website. The London AM takes place June 13 and 14 at BaySixty6.
