I’m back with another Instamix, this time it’s Hjalte Halberg. With his tasteful trick selection, high speed approach, and ability to make it all look fun, I dug deep into his Instagram to pick some of my favorite clips.
I was first introduced to Hjalte’s skating years back in a Polar video, but I first found myself obsessing over the way he skates in the “Looks OK to Me” video where he shares a part with Bobby Worrest. I’ve made it clear that I’m a fan of that video, and from that point on, I’ve clicked on anything with Hjalte’s name on it, from the Nike x Soulland edits, to Ben Chadourne’s beautiful web clips like “Firesides”, and giving his Bunt a listen, a couple times.
With Hjalte footage, I’m always left wanting more. In the best way, because his skating makes me want to skate. His balance of hard to do ledge tricks, speed, and simplicity is what I love. As I’ve touched on before, sometimes Instagram clips can convey this sense of “fun” better than a video part, the Dancer IG clips are a great example of this, as it always seems that Hjalte, Ville and their crew are having a great time, and just happen to be do amazing tricks on their skateboards.
Here are some of my favorite IG clips of Hjalte mixed together –
And it wouldn’t be complete without some loops, look at the dip on that back smith!
Thanks for giving this a read, hit me up and let me know who I should mix/loop next!
