Rune Glifberg, Skateboard Innovator and Multiple X Games Gold Medalist – UNLEASHED Podcast E127

A true skateboard icon hits the podcast! UNLEASHED welcomes Olympic Skateboarder and 12-time X Games medalist Rune Glifberg. In conversation with podcast hosts The Dingo and Danny, the 47-year-old from Copenhagen, Denmark, shares his inspiring journey that started by receiving an American skateboard as a gift at age 11. 

Respected as one of the most stylish and innovative skateboarders of all time, Glifberg has built an unparalleled career – all the way to representing Denmark in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The Scandinavian ripper has won the world’s biggest halfpipe skateboarding competitions, in some cases more than once. He holds 12 X Games medals, including two gold medals in Skate Park. Not to forget that the soft-spoken Dane is a playable character in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series of video games and now runs a skatepark design agency. Legendary! 

Here’s your chance to experience Glifberg’s journey from European transplant to skateboard superstar, only on the UNLEASHED with The Dingo and Danny Podcast.
