first place performance<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at the VPS Sweden men’s Pro Tour event earlier today. As the current World Champion, Sorgente\u2019s victory marks his second time claiming glory at Kroksb\u00e4ck Skatepark, after dominating the built-to-spec park terrain course at the VPS World Championships last year.<\/p>\nDemonstrating incredible accuracy and lightning speed throughout his runs, Sorgente remarks, \u201cI\u2019m ecstatic. I can\u2019t believe I won here again. There\u2019s really no limitations at this park, you can go big, long grinds, big airs, everything mixed together makes it really great.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tour Challenger\u00a0Tom Schaar\u2019s<\/b>\u00a0precision and trick variety landed him in 2nd<\/span>\u00a0place, further securing his Challenger rankings lead and earning him his second podium appearance in the season after winning in Australia in March.<\/p>\nFinally, it was no surprise that the capacity Malm\u00f6 crowds went wild for local boy\u00a0Karl Berglind<\/b>, whose seamless runs and creative combinations in the semi\u2019s and finals put him in 3rd<\/span>\u00a0place, securing his first podium placement in the series so far. \u201cI\u2019m speechless,\u201d Berglind gushes. \u201cJust being in the final was a win for me. Everyone was fired up and I needed that pressure on me to step it up.\u201d An honorable mention also goes out to fellow Malm\u00f6 native\u00a0Oskar Rozenberg Hallberg<\/b>, after executing an outstanding miracle run in the Semi\u2019s to send the Sweden audience roaring.<\/p>\nCheck out photos and video from an incredible day of skating at Kroksb\u00e4ck Skatepark, Malmo for Stop No.3 of the 2017 Vans Park Series…\u00a0<\/strong>
