OLYMPIC SKATEBOARDER EXPLORES COPENHAGEN IN THE NEW BMW iX1

[Rob]

One of the world’s most sustainable cities. One of skateboarding’s most enduring icons. The new BMW iX1. Join us for a tour of what to do in Copenhagen’s hottest neighborhood, as local hero Rune Glifberg, Olympian, professional skateboarder and architect, takes us on a tour of his own local heroes and the neighbourhood they help bring to life.

Broad-grinned, skunk-haired, Olympian skateboarder and Copenhagen insider Rune Glifberg is in a good mood, and some of that is down to BMW. He’s got the keys of the new BMW iX1 in his hand and is ready to explore the hippest spots in his favourite city.

Rune is Denmark’s most celebrated skateboarder. Nicknamed ‘The Danish Destroyer’ for his skills, he started skateboarding at 11 and turned pro at 17. His career as an elite skateboarder has seen him win the X Games twice, in 2008 and 2009, feature as one of the original playable characters in Tony Hawks’ Pro Skater PlayStation game, ranked as the best skater in the world on the vert ramp (2001) and in the bowl (2008), and, at the age of 46, represent Denmark in the inaugural park skateboarding event at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
