Andy MacDonald with a Madonna on his way to $60k and a small deduction for buying us dinner. Thanks, Andy!
The backside tailgrab one foot is a damn good looking vert trick. Who used to do those all the time? Danny Way? Jono impressed everyone this weekend and ended up in 2nd overall.
Let's pause to check in with that one sketchy dude. DJ Wade plays even when the street course is empty.
Louie Lopez grew up in the last year and is blowing minds this weekend. That's a backside noseblunt, but if you didn't see the footage of his backside smith grind varial heelflip out on the rail, that's here. Damn, Louie!
Nyjah ripped today, but I think he's saving some for the Finals Brackets on Sunday. That's a switch smith.
After the Street Qualifiers today, the Big Air Contest went down and where we saw big Madonnas from Nolan Munroe.
Big Air bails are amazing. I wonder if I'll get a cease and desist if I put a toilet on this photo?
Tim McFerran from World Skateboarding presenting with the locals.
Congrats Andy Mac for winning 60 large and thanks again for dinner. Andy even tried to have us stop at a liquor store to buy all the vert guys booze, but all the stores were closed. Next year!

Travel Makes You Rich, Skateboarding Makes You Happy. Do Both Here...

What's the number one excuse not to travel? At least when you're young, it always seems to be 'I'm broke.' Traveling broke makes you rich in life experience that no economic downturn can ever take away. One way to spice up a trip and increase your chances of having a floor to sleep on with new friends is to base it around a good old fashioned skateboard shindig. It just so happens that we've got a few good international gatherings of skateboard rippers coming up in Canada, Denmark, South Africa, and yes, America! Check these out along with some suggestions on how to get there.
