Bum Rush The Spot teamed up with No-Comply skate shop in Austin, Texas, for an unforgettable event at Lizard DIY. This wasn’t your typical best-trick skate jam. The goal here was simply to reward those who were having the most fun—and with 2K in cash being handed out and tons of product getting thrown, there was no shortage of huge smiles at the ditch. Check the pics and stay stoked!
