So far, 2014 had been a good year for Kåre Lindberg. He had traveled all over the place, touring around and taking trips to various events, including a memorable moped ride from Copenhagen to Summerclash and back. Once again, his blading had been featured in one of Jonas Hansson’s masterpiece, along with the rest of the Ground Control team in Barcelona. Most notably, Kåre had been filming with his Valo teammates for the skate brand’s first ever European video, entitled TV.EU. Along with friends Olav Norheim, Patrick Ridder and Tony Cheetah, Kåre had spent the better part of the year collecting clips in Denmark, Germany and Spain for this project. Not to forget he also took the Danish title this past summer, defeating defending champion Jacob Juul for the first time in ten years at Copenhagen’s Real Street contest. So far, it had been a good year for Kåre indeed.
That was until we got the unfortunate news that Kåre broke his leg saturday, while filming his final tricks for his Valo section. This isn’t likely to stop him for very long, yet a very unpleasant delay, and we would like to use this Top 5 feature with Kåre to wish him a fast recovery. Heal fast brother!
