Sequences from Copenhagen

So, dear reader, as you will see from my last post I have learnt something new this weekend. This means that I can show you some previously unseen sequence shots taken on the Milk Skateboards spring trip to Copenhagen.
First off is Mikey Joyce (Witchcraft). 
This was the pretty much the first spot we visited on arrival in Denmark. Mikey got up top early and pulled this out of the bag. The roll out was absolutely covered in predatory pebbles just waiting to pounce under the wheel of an off balance skater. Surprisingly we all escaped capture.

This next spot has to be credited to Sam Hayter & Fuller.
We stopped, late in the day for pizza and drink at the end of a block of pretty under-developed residential streets and decaying uninhabited industrial areas.
Sitting on our boards eating slices from our knees we noticed that both Sam and Fuller had disappeared.
Moments after commenting on this, we saw both their grinning heads poke through a hole in the fence a few metres up from where we were sitting. "We've found a spot!"
Tucked behind a high fence were a number of overgrown concrete bases and loading bays, all that remained to show that once, life was lived and work done in this space....
And someone had kindly made us a ledge!

 The final sequence was shot late in the trip. Some of the crew had expressed a wish to visit this apparently famous spot. I have to admit, I wouldn't be able to name either a trick filmed here or a video the spot has appeared in.
You will however be able to see some more of Charlie at this spot in the full length Milk Skateboards Video due mid next year. 
Petty told me that the rails were new and larger than in the clips he'd seen but Charlie managed fine, rolling away from a number of examples of tech sorcery.
