original gangster!
June 20th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Sven has always been a boss!

Proud Holland…I love Sven Blading….
June 20th, 2012 at 11:41 am
He is a real rolemodel!
June 20th, 2012 at 11:46 am
He literally has no style.

“He literally has no style.”
Really? That’s like saying Hooi doesn’t have style. They both do its just so clean it looks effortless. Just because he doesn’t skate cerbs and do fastplants doesn’t mean he doesn’ t have style. Personally I love Sven’s style; it reminds me of the early 2000, go big or go home attitude.

def agree with josh there. Massive tricks in there. Effortless style. :)
June 20th, 2012 at 12:35 pm
what an absolute legend. 32 and destroying it with the best of them. an inspiration.
June 20th, 2012 at 12:44 pm
I think you’re mixing style with execution.
June 20th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Hmmph . This ones actually pretty hippy. sick.
June 20th, 2012 at 2:21 pm
His style is his,
You literally probably have style skating skating small things dropping a shoulder raising a hand, wake up in the morning take a piss and wash your hands drop a knee and thank the man then get back to the money, you ain’t know.
haters gonna hate
32 gonna own you

Sven top 10 in the world that ramp edit was one of my fav from all of last year! Team RB comin up son!
June 20th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
He’s never gotten the credit that he deserves from the blading community.
June 20th, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Great stuff from the #1 European blader! Guy still skates like he’s 18 years.
Loved how the vid started where the Cityhopper edit ended!
Big Up to: Je Moeder!

He’s probly the first person I’ve seen make those ugly rb skates look good. Awesome edit.
June 20th, 2012 at 6:51 pm
you dont need style if you are this good ….
June 20th, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Sven is all power with no gimmicks. He is easily one of the best. As far as ability, consistency, amplitude, and style.
The switchups were dope, and some of the lines were fast, and technical.
And his age makes him almost matchless.
June 21st, 2012 at 4:00 am
that shit was tiiight
June 21st, 2012 at 7:41 am
thats where id wanna be at that age. geez he just kills it still. that being said, a lot of that was filmed entirely too wide.
June 21st, 2012 at 4:24 pm
City hopper was very good.
Love this edit too !
June 21st, 2012 at 7:42 pm
Just a WOW Skater! Love every edit of him. Makes me want to go out and use my Skates
June 21st, 2012 at 7:52 pm
This is the best edit of him I have seen of Sven. I never imagined he was this good. It is a truly an inspiration to see someone at 32 skating harder and doing 4x bigger tricks than most of these kids and tappers these days. Respect is overdue.
June 21st, 2012 at 8:17 pm
steez. just……steez.
take note kids.

Dude’s 32.
Is one of the best vert rollers in the world.
Is one of the best park rollers in the world.
And when it comes to street, continues to get better and better. Hurricane souls on rails, zero fishes on rails, true top porn on a kink rail. Some might say the “type” of street that he does is out-dated, but you can’t be a specialist in every field.
In terms of looking at the “sport” from a perspective of it being three “disciplines” (street, park, vert) then there’s a strong argument to be had that Sven is the best in the world. The Yasutoko’s might be better on very, Haffey and others might be better on street, there might even be a few better at park too, but this guy is consistently really, REALLY fucking good at all three.
Plus he’s won more competitions than almost anyone.
He may not be a name you bring up when discussing your favourite section, but over-looking this man’s contribution to the game is a sin.

didn´t expect a level that high… he just killed everything with ease and it doesn´t even look too bad.
prefer to watch a 32 year old guy who just kills it instead of some hipsterfag tapping some curbs i used to skate when I was 12.

gros respect !!!!!
