The Nines have always been a bit elusive to me, being from the United States.
Not a single aspect of the week disappointed.
The Nines covers every base imaginable, including the unexpected ones.
The first indication of this dream is the build itself.
Unlike previous years, the build was heavily influenced and designed by riders.
In many ways, it felt more like a sculpture park than a park build.
They are inspired by a famous Helsinki skate spot,the Amos Rex art installation.
It had three different takeoffs, inviting riders to change their approach frequently.
The landing went on for ages, and in turn we saw some psycho behavior go down.
It was a treat to see them interact with such an environment, swerving and rolling their way through.
The point is, people were going ham.
