Hardbody and Emilio Cuilan teamed up with Hjalte Halberg and Anton Juul’s Dancer imprint for what is effectively a nine-minute Hjalte and friends part to celebrate the release of Hardbody x Dancer. Filmed over the course of a year, it features many of the faces from DANY, and some new inclusions like Kyota, Meatball, David Stenström, and Antonio doing a guest trick across the street from Blue Park, for good measure.
It is no secret that there has been a now-longtime kinship between QS and the city of Copenhagen — dating back to the “56 Tricks” days and when Norwegian Airlines was practically giving away transatlantic plane tickets (e.g. JFK-CPH flights were under $400 round-trip if you bought the right summer dates.) Many years and a pandemic later, nothing has really changed — it was really tough not to watch this and want to start planning an impromptu Euro trip.
Hardbody x Dancer is available now. If you’re in the U.S. 🇺🇸 (or Canada prob), it’s probably best to get it from Hardbody. If you’re in Europe 🇪🇺, it’s probably better to get it from Dancer.
Features: Hjalte Halberg. Anton Juul, Matt Perez, Josh Velez, Adam Zhu, Keith Denley, Kyota Umeki, David Stenström, Victor Beltran, Brandon James and Antonio Durao.
Filmed and edited by Emilio Cuilan. Animations by Anton Juul.
That was good – I’m not even a skater – skill is good to look at.
