The long dark days of winter can seem like an eternity – especially when living higher up on the planet in Scandinavia. However, the annual Vert Attack gathering in Malmö, Sweden is one that keeps the fire burning hot towards summer. Top ams, women, and pros worldwide travel and gather to have a blast with each other on a classic 80s throwback halfpipe and along with plenty of entertainment tossed in as well. John Magnusson and the crew at Brygerriet have carried and seen it through for the past twelve years with awesome sponsors and good times and a solid webcast that keeps us entertained continents away. Hats off and high fives all around!
After a hiatus of a few years, vert vet Bucky Lasek returned to Vert Attack last week, completely nailed his first run in the finals and took home first place in the Pro/Am showdown. Buck yes!

Press Release: True legends never die! In an unforgettable comeback performance, original Bones Brigade member and certified legend Lance Mountain fueled the ultimate shakeup as he earned his first championship win at the 12th annual Vans Pool Party earlier today. Edging out podium veteran Steve Caballero, who placed in 2nd, and unseating nine-time Pool Party title-holder Chris Miller, who finished in third, Mountain powered through his runs combining his timeless style with an incredible mixed bag of tricks to win the title.
Underlining an epic journey of Combi Pool domination, the unstoppable Pedro Barros demonstrated another breathtaking feat of talent, blasting through huge airs in lightning fast runs to win his third Pool Party championship title to date. Rising star and pool ripper Cory Juneau sneaks in second with a game-changing final run, while Bucky Lasek utilized a clean, technical approach to secure third. Finally, closing out the Masters division, Darren Navarette took flight and put together a flawless run in classic Navs style, ousting last year’s winner Bruno Passos.
