Helge was known as a rock 'n roller, full of tattoos and a real comedian. During the 1986 Monster Mastership Contest in Munster Germany, Helge found a pair of ladies high heels under the ramp and wore them the whole day of the contest.

Helge is talented in the vert but he is also a great photographer and shoots mostly in black and white on film. He became famous as a skateboard photographer.

Helge placed in the World Cup in 1985 and 1986. Click here to see the Monster Mastership / Euro-Cup / World Cup rankings for 1982-1991.

The photos shown here were fist published in Alley Oop Magazine in the '80s. Thanks to Thomas Kalak, publisher of Alley Oop Magazine, for digging up these treasures.
