Copenhagen Open once again delivered what is arguably (and it’s a very strong argument) the best week of skateboarding. We rolled with the ladies for 5 days of skating, partying and mayhem. With a solid crew from Europe, the UK and the USA, the ladies were holding it down on the dance floor and at every spot along the way.

There was mini ramp jams, train rides, sauna sessions, rosé on tap, inflatable flamingos, hill bombs, trumpets, heart-shaped glasses (of course), bike rides and bike accidents, a ring of fire, and all the champagne you can drink.

It’s hard to put into words the true magic of CPH Open — you simply have to experience it to really understand — but this photo gallery is our attempt at capturing it for those who weren’t there. For those who did make it, may this help you through the inevitable “Copenhagen comedown.”
