Burn signs legendary Danish skater

Hot news! In May Burn signed the amazing Danish skateboarder Rune Glifberg as a team founder and mentor for the new Burn Units skate team. There aren't many words that can describe our feelings on this, but we're going to try anyway. Put simply, Rune is one of the true legends of the sport and also one of the most super-stylish and progressive skateboarders ever to have put two feet on a board.

Rune was born and raised in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, where his love for skating kick-flipped off at the age of 11. A quarter-century later and Rune's widely regarded as one of the world's best transition skateboarders, and with good reason. He took his first European contest back in 1990, turned pro in 1992 and has been an ever-present member of the skateboarding elite since, competing successfully in the biggest and best competitions: X Games, Gravity Games, Mystic Cup, to name just some.

Rune had this to say about joining Burn: "Adding Burn Energy to my list of sponsors is an honor and a privilege. It opens up new doors and opportunities for my career, and I couldn't be happier with my decision to join the Burn Units skate team."

We'll be announcing even more riders for the Burn Units skate team in the coming weeks. Super-stoked doesn't do it justice!
