Legendary Danish pro—and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater character—Rune Glifberg has made a name for himself with a secondary career as a skatepark designer. His firm, Glifberg – Lykke, specializes in marrying aesthetics and function in a way that’s easy on the eyes and, more often than not, innovative. For its latest episode of ‘Long Story Short,’ Pocket magazine spent some time in Copenhagen picking the Great Dane’s brain about his design process—watch the fascinating piece, above.

Glifberg filmed an exceptional part for our 2014 In Transition contest. Watch his entry, below:
