The City of Malmö has a long history of supporting skating. Last year they decided to push beyond the parks and into the streets, introducing granite benches and hubbas to the classic spot Värnhemstorget. With support from Nike SB and Streetlab they held the first edition of Back to Värnhem to show that skateboarding belongs in the streets. This year the setup was updated with two new ledges and metal kickers. Riders came from all over Europe for the session.

Who was there matters more than who did what: The Nike boys showed. The SOUR boys showed. Desert Crew were there. The young guns from Bryggeriets Gymnasium were there, with Tormod Tønessen standing out in both quarters and best-trick. People from all over Scandinavia were there. LuyPa Sin was there. Ben Powell hosted.
