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.

filmed and edited by sean nguyen.
