California Skate Parks and the Maloof Brothers made it happen once again, the world’s best street course, Vert set up and prizes were lay out and ready for a massive assault this past weekend, we had the regular crew attendig the event plus Giancarlo Zavalaga and Chino ZooYork that came to visit for this crazy weekend. This years Skatepark was design by Geoff Rowley and Colby Carter , the layout did not dissapoint anybody with the various spots made on the course in a very balanced mix between West and East Coast. The Brooklyn Banks, Pier 7 and other replicas made the street course a real battle ground.
On the second day we had an unexpected visit from Snoop Dogg that sang a song for the crowd , also Kobe Bryant showed up for a few minutes with 65 security guards around him :/. We had a great time and we think the $100,000 prize to the winner of this years cup was well deserve by Chris Cole that really throw down crazy tricks with a make it or die attitude, second place Tommy Sandoval and third place Nyjah Houston. On the Girls contest Leticia Bufoni was first taking home the $25,000, second Alexis Sablone and third Amy Caron.
The best trick contest sponsored by Tech Deck was insane and that money went to Adam Dyet with a kickflip tailslide backside on the big handrail, overall and amazing weekend and another opportunity to watch in person the progression of skateboarding and we can’t wait for the next years contest. Here are some pics and a video of the event.
