Vans Pro Skate Park Series at Melbourne

Published 4/16/2016 by Rob Meronek

The first stop of the Vans Pro Skate Park Series at Melbourne was a mindblowing display of park terrain skateboarding as expected. 12 of the 15 invited pros made it to Melbourne, allowing 8 challengers into the Semi-Finals to complete the field of 20.

After the dust settled, Chris Russell proved unstoppable, taking home $20,000 for the win at Melbourne.

In the Seasons Rankings, the top five Challengers after this stop are: Cory Juneau, Tom Schaar, Alex Sorgente, Keegan Palmer, and Brad McClain.

Going into the last of four runs in the Finals, newcoming ripper from Italy, Ivan Federico, was far in first place. When it came time for Pedro to put it down in his final run, he nailed it. Ivan had one last chance to improve on his second place, being the last skater in the Finals. An early bail took him out and the hometown hero, Pedro Barros became the winner of the second stop of the season here in Brazil.
