Freely Styled in Slovenia

Who says freestyle is dead? Take a good look below at the unique footage of Almir Jusovic’s wild approach to riding the stuntwood that we all enjoy and you might just think otherwise. This Slovenian virtuoso doesn’t have the sponsorship opportunities or the abundance of public skateparks and skateshops like most of us, but he does possess the creative spark and energy to get gnarly and have fun.
Oh yeah, he’s got his own approach to your firecracker on lock too! Happy hump day people.
