Hopsin even had some time to skate with the kids before the Best Trick and the concert.
The calm before the storm.
Kids were skating everything in the court yard at the Zappos HQ.
Tent city was busy all day long.
Spank was hooking up sheets of grip all day with some rad stencils.
She said she had some tricks for the double set, but I think the contest was past her bed time because she never showed up.
He also almost got kicked out of the Contest for not having the proper credentials.

Right before things got real.
This ghetto bird from Chris Joslin never even crossed anyone's mind as a possible trick down the Zappos double set.

Frank Decker brought the weird and took home a little cash for this ollie late shuv.
And that's all for the skateboarding on to the Awards.
The overall winners were Chris Joslin in first, Yoshi Tanenbaum in second, and Enzo taking home third place.

Hopsin in a sea of fans.
If black hit half as hard as the Hopsin show I would be few hundred bucks richer.
That's all folks. Thanks to everyone who made the jump and thanks to Zappos for letting us take over your offices for the day and night.
