What's happening people, it's your boy Will Stowe, the Will that everyone knows & Hackney's very own. We're here at CPH Open 2023. This is SNKRS On The Ground

We're going to be seeing some tricks, some kicks and we're going to be talking to the skate community. Let's go. 
This is my first time at the CPH Open, tell me what it's like to be here bro.
It's an experience, I feel that everyone needs to have.

"The one thing on the calendar every year that I want to make it to, because I know how much fun it is. 

The good skateboarding is going to come as the talent level here is the best in the world."

They're all so good and they're all here and they're all going to be ripping. 
I'm going to be just... like every two seconds. I'm seeing everybody out here & everybody's got the nicest shoes on.

I feel like every time I meet somebody they're like what's up! Looking at your shoes. 

Magic, I love the skate community because I think that it incorporates video, art, style and I think that's what makes the skaters stand out. 

Could you describe the atmosphere here for people who are not here? 
Imagine a place where everyone is equal even though you have different levels, you have women, men. 
Not actually a contest, it's like a skate festival.

I feel like it's changed so much since I started skating, literally just in the past few years even. There's so many women. 

What would you say are the top 3 things to do whilst at the CPH Open?
Watch people skate, party, hang out with people you see once a year.

It's crazy actually, so many friends. You meet so many new friends and old ones. It's insane and overwhelming but I love it. 

I'm Will Stowe, this has been SNKRS On the Ground at CPH Open for 2023. It's been a good time, I've spoken to skaters, seen some sick tricks & had a great vibe. I think we're going to come to the next one for sure. We'll see you at the next one.
