RAJONTV GAME OF SKATE CHAMPIONSHIP 2 [ROUND 2 GAME 4]

Two young gents – Niklavs Vetra and Hugo Berziņš battle it out on the most exquisite arena in Riga, the Spot Center.  Everything is perfect: it is warm in the park, there is no one in their way and the flat doesn’t slide. Not to mention that they are both young and talented dudes, they can do anything they want. Especially Niklavs! You saw his game in the first round, it was bonkers.

That day when we filmed this game was just like that. read more

Times were rough unlike nowadays! read more
