Instead of skating/wakeboarding/surfing, I went all-in playing the Tony Hawk Pro Skater every day and if Rune’s out there reading this I’d like to send him a shoutout for his part in all of that.
In this clip from The Nine Club, the Danish skater with 12 X Games medals (2 golds) talks about how much money he made on the Pro Skater franchise.
Just keeping active, I’m just happy to still be healthy enough to skate, thirty years later.
Lets finish this with a reminder of Penny at Carlsbad.
It was all rough spots you know, cobblestones everywhere; I mean London’s kind of the same. This 30-inch-wide park features different ramps and obstacles to create your own ultimate Tech Deck skatepark. The invention is utterly brilliant.
9. As much as a lot of the Americans probably hated that, it was undeniable, so they tried kind of saying, “Fuck these Euro dudes” or whatever but after a couple of years it couldn’t be ignored.
The third try he kickflipped it no problem, then frontside flipped it first try the go after. Do you have two-and-a-half hours to spare and watch the full interview? I think that’s the biggest problem with most skate contests, that’s why the Munster contests, which were the biggest in Europe during the 1990s, died out. But there was a time and place in my life when the Danish skateboarder was a bigger part of my life than my own dad.
I’m talking, of course, about my Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 phase when I used to put in like 5 hours a day of gameplay after school and had convinced myself I could go pro playing the game years before e-sports had really materialized into any semblance of what it is today.
Rune Glifberg was a playable character in the first 5 installments of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise, a franchise that coincided perfectly with my gaming era after I’d busted up my knee wakeboarding and was dealing with a torn ligament.
It’s definitely one thing that I never thought would happen when I grew up skating there; mind you, I left back in 1994 to go with Flip. We’d go to a Little Chef or gas station, get some dinner, and that was the day to day operation.
We’d sleep in the factory on top of the office, which reeked of paint and fucking screen printing fumes, it was gnarly.
What were some of the best off-the-cuff moments you witnessed from those two?
Actually it’s funny that you mention those two guys together, because one of my best memories from that time is me, Tom and Andy going to the Carlsbad Gap for the first time. Then I met Boulala in Sweden; I went up to Stockholm one time, saw him and thought he was fantastic so I told Jeremy about him.
So yeah, that’s the moment that will always stand out for me, that’s one of the raddest moments I’ve seen.
Finally, now that this project is over, what do you have planned next?
Well I’ve got a few trips over the summer, I just want to keep skating as much as I can. A couple of street obstacle based parks and that was it.
Carrying on with new Danish parks, how did the Street Dome project come about originally and how involved were you with the building process?
How that came about?
Purdue University Rube Goldberg machine
Purdue University astonishingly created an evolutionary “Time Machine” with its Rube Goldberg machine, illustrating the history of the world from the Big Bang to the Apocalypse. There’s even a live guinea pig involved in this one.
3. Sure it sounds incredibly similar to Rube Goldberg which is possibly why I like it so much because I’m a sucker for Rube Goldberg machines, everyone knows this, but Rune Glifberg’s got the best name in the game.
SORRY, THIS ITEM IS SOLD!
It was the cover of Transworld, and Tom just went and took the piss out of it without even having a filmer or anyone to document it. Him and Jackson Pilz share a part so you’ve got Belgium and Australia and it works really well with how it’s put together. Ok Go - This Too Shall Pass - Rube Goldberg Machine
After OK Go wowed us with the creative treadmill music video for their hit song “Here It Goes Again,” we all knew we could expect great things from them.
The cycle is oddly satisfying, leaving you with the feeling that you end up right where you started.
