18. July 2010

Vertical’s world cup halfpipe stood in the arena at the tourist port of Rome. The set up was led by Christoph Mossu and eight local helpers built it stable and absolutely vertical. Moss is our new site supervisor for event skating facilities. He called on Thursday evening and reported that for the upcoming Tony Hawk show everything runs smoothly. The riders were satisfied and they had already shown some riding during the warm up session. Jean Postek, Jesse Fritsch, Kevin Staab, Sandro Dias and Tony Hawk travel around Europe with the Tony Hawk Tour. The tour stops are: July 8th in Berlin, July 15th in Rome, July 18th in Barcelona in July 21st in Brighton.

The halfpipe in Rome was built by Vertical Skateramps of Switzerland and Quiksilver branded it specifically for the Tony Hawk show. Check out the video on YouTube to experience the atmosphere. Have fun!
