Rune Glifberg Wins 2008 Vans Pro-Tec Pool Party
Written on May 19, 2008
Is Rune Glifberg the best tranny skater right now? Maybe. Maybe not. But does the Dane rule the roost in terms of contest winnings? Yes. Definitely.
Glifberg won this past weekend’s Vans Pro-Tec Pool Party. According to Etnies, that’s Glifberg’s third win in four years of the event. Should set him up nicely for this year’s Bowlriders in Malmo, Sweden (June 12-15). I’ll post the footy as it comes in. In the meantime, check out Etnies’ recap for photos and whatnot.
