Action Sports with Leigh Roche

Vert Attack was back for its ninth year of bowl shredding at Bryggeriet Malmö Skatepark in Malmö, Sweden, March 12-14, 2015.  The event had comps in Masters, Pro/Am, Women, and Juniors. Legends Bob Burnquist, Mike Frazier and Tony Hawk competed, and Hawk swooped in and took the title in the Masters’ division.

The skating in all divisions was incredibly tough, with Alana Smith edging out Lizzie Armanto in the Women's contest, and Sam Beckett coming out on top in the Pro/Am contest ahead of Burnquist.
