Rune Glifberg: The Berrics – In Transition 2014

The worlds biggest skateboard media platform, The Berrics (theberrics.com), launched a contest this September in which they picked 10 of the most progressive skateboarders in the world to shoot a full video part in a location of their choosing. Each skater had 6 weeks to shoot their video, and the online viewers voted to determine the winner.

Denmark’s Rune Glifberg gave me the honor of shooting and editing his part for the contest, in Copenhagen’s Fælledparken skatepark, and here are the results of our collaboration. Congratulations to Rune on taking 2nd place in the contest, at 40 years of age he’s a force of nature that I am still struggling to comprehend. He is viking.

Sector 9 – The Hijack (Jackson Shapiera Pro)

We’re proud to introduce Jackson Shapiera’s Pro Model, the Hijack. This deck is the culmination of several different iterations and prototypes that we can recall making here at Sector 9 headquarters. It is rare to have a team rider be so critical on the finer points of the board shape, and even rarer for him to take a step back and realize they have gone too far in search of that perfect feel. Apart from the shape, Jackson also explored several concave molds. He finally landed on one with humps in the at the front for your toes to push against and keep you locked in, a non-intrusive W in the middle for the added strength and smaller humps at the back to help with the board feel.
