We went to Copenhagen with Shane O’Neill once. He was so mellow and friendly and then he quietly went ahead and won the contest that was happening beneath our noses. We were having too much fun to care who won, but it was obvious Shane won. He was far and away the best skater in the country that had been stuffed with the world’s best skaters.

He just dropped this part with Thrasher Mag and it’s pretty much perfect. Much like Shane’s style. He’s a Julian Wilson of skating. Technically perfect with flashes of raw brilliance. And you’ll never cuddle your girl to Beach House the same after this.

Below is a brief conversation we had with Shane in Copenhagen.
