converse cons | polar skate co. amsterdam launch!

for the launch of the converse cons x polar skate co. capsule collection at ben-g skateshop in amsterdam, we teamed up to do a very special #byobss on the sunday inspired by "polar's manhattan days" video.

we started out with a tight crew at ben-g for a proper brunch, skated the alleyway and then went on to charge through the city with a few makeshift obstacles donated by converse cons to make spots more skate able.

eventually we ended up at the #byobss hq olympiaplein to have a final sesh with the new obstacles, mucho beers and a proper bbq.

many thanks to all those who came out and converse cons for supporting this event.

riders: david stenstrom, kevin rodrigues, willem van dijk, noah bunink, bastiaan van zadelhoff, harmen bazuin, simon de boer, tycho henskes, federico da fies and othmar van rijswijk.

manhattan days - a film by pontus alv!

manhattan days is a film composed by pontus alv celebrating the converse cons polar skate co. ctas pro and featuring cons and polar riders aaron herrington, kevin rodrigues, david stenström, jerome campbell, dane brady and pontus himself.

taking inspiration from back in the day when you skated all over the city we carted around some east coast style plates and a pole jam in a skateable shopping cart and just let the skating happen!

bum rush the spot-brooklyn edition (under the bqe).

pontus alv and the polar team traveled to nyc this fall to shred the streets and film for their upcoming video. teaming up with joel meinholz and fred gall they built a new obstacle at the diy spot under the bqe expressway in brooklyn. after almost getting shut down by a massive storm and the nypd, the cement dried just in time for us to throw a bum rush the spot event and a whole slew of northeastern skaters showed up to show their support.

world record wallie contest!

wallie world cup 2012.

for multiple days outside the bright trade show in berlin, pontus alv and lennie burmeister could be seen making transitions for the most unique contest this year. the concept was simple wallie over a barrier and you become the champion of the world. the mc, lev tanju of palace skateboards, was complete comedy. everyone had three tries to get over the barrier and when those were used up and more attempts were needed, the kind hearted, lev facilitated with a nice cold one. for some the strength of german beer didn't help them get over but for others the combination of light feet and alcohol made the task easy to accomplish.

starring pontus alv, dennis busenitz, jason adams, dennis laas, guy with energy drink hat, curly haired kid, white shirt, the australian and many others who i couldn't give nicknames too.
