More crowd stoke.

This little girl was really happy to roll around with everyone. Saw her get a roll off on the box.

The cool thing about this event is how happy everyone was. Whether you were in the crowd watching, filming, getting snaked, it didn't matter. Everyone was there to have a good time.

Alex and Jacob making sure everything behind the scenes was running clean.

As the night went on it was time to bring out the surprise obstacle for this year.

Out with the old...

And in with the new.

While the rail was getting installed a local breakdance crew put on an intermission show.

Literally everyone wanted to be involved.

After a brief inspection and some wax applied it was go time.

I took the opportunity to play with some lighting effects.

Gabe Vigliotti frontside hurricane.

The smiles kept on going all night.

Clint with a back lip shuv.

Jordan took a different approach and wallied the rail to flat.

Clint was the people's champ doing a lot of tricks and insane body varial combinations.

Macey brought her manny game.

MVP for life.

Crailtap Crew.

Who said manuals were low impact?

Sewa had flip-in-flip-out combos for days.

Sewa's manny prowess earned him the hardest manual award.

Crailtap's filmer, Daniel Policelli has manual chops too. Fakie Bigflip Manny was nice!

At the end of the day though, undisputed king of the manuals is John Dilorenzo. He took home MVP.

Imagine sitting in your elementary school classroom and you look out the window to see this session going down?

Benihana over a flat gap? Why not?

The crowd loved it.

Townley channeled Robert Frost and took the road less travelled, putting down this high speed gap to 50-50.

These dudes couldn't believe their eyes.

After the downtown school gap, we headed over to Cowles Commons for a 2-trick line contest. Dilo went ham on the bump to bar.
