Bio
Having been born in Copenhagen, Denmark in the 1970’s, being a professional skateboarder was probably one of the least likely career Paths for Rune Glifberg. After he started skating at eleven, that probability soon turned into a reality. Being naturally talented, Rune went on to win first place at the Slam City Jam ten years later.
Anyone who’s seen Rune’s full-on assault on any and all things transition can tell you that he’s one of the most aggressive and stylish people to ever skate. On anything from tiny mini-ramps to tight-trannied pools to half pipes, Rune straight up kills it. Combine that with his sense of humor and easy-going personality and you get one of the most loved skatebpoarders of our time.
When not competing, Rune routinely sessions backyard pools and skateparks with Mike Crum and Jake Brown. Rune also is vocal and active in the independence rights of Christiania, a self-governed town in his home country of Denmark. Sales from Rune’s “Forsvar†Etnies shoe benefitted the community.
