Rune Glifberg (born October 7, 1974) nicknamed "The Danish Destroyer", is a Danish professional skateboarder. Glifberg is one of just three skaters to compete at every X Games and has a total of 12 X Games medals.

Early life

Rune Glifberg was born in Copenhagen, Denmark and began skating at the age of 11 years after a friend brought a skateboard as a gift, which he had bought in the US. He entered his first pro contest in France in 1990, and turned pro in 1992. Rune Glifberg moved from Denmark to Costa Mesa, California after he finished high school in 1995.

Professional skateboarding

In the early 1990s, Glifberg turned professional as a "vert" skater (skateboarding on u-shaped ramps) and relocated to the United States (US). Glifberg signed a contract with Flip Skateboards and, as of September 2012, he remains a member of the company's professional team.

Glifberg was sponsored by shoe company etnies at around the same time as he joined Flip and his second signature shoe was called the "Forsvar", meaning "defend" or "defense" in Danish. As of September 2012, Glifberg has released a line of signature shoes with Converse that consists of "The Allston" and the "Rune Pro Mid" models.

Glifberg is a playable character in the first five games of the Tony Hawk series of video games that consists of the four Pro Skater games and Tony Hawk's Underground.
