Famous for Arto's back lip over a decade ago, the spot has seen only over-the-rail action in recent years after the kinker was knobbed. The school granted us permission to hack off the skate-stoppers for just one day, and the rest is history. Big ups to everyone who BUSTED, especially Alex Midler and his game-changing kicky back lip. Boom!

The original and greatest raw street contest roared back to life at an undisclosed California kinker last weekend. From Mark Suciu to Jamie Foy and every rail ripper in between, this was one for the history books. And Alex Midler… you’re nuts!

You’ve seen Bust or Bail from a million angles, but you haven’t seen it through the lens of P-Stone! Thanks again ATL.

Hightailing it outta California, we brought Bust or Bail to the Southern concrete of Atlanta’s infamous 5 block. Destruction and carnage ensued! Big thanks to all the homies at Stratosphere and everyone that came out to witness the madness. Until next time...

Clearing the triple requires a high-speed attack, but here's a look into Bust or Bail from a much slower perspective.

This ain't your average double set, and the triple is straight up colossal. Bust or Bail was beyond heavy. Skate and Destroy forever.

The video is coming soon, but for now feast your eyes on photos from yesterday's skating-con-carnage!

The pros and the bros talk Clipper faves and make predictions.

Here's a polished recap of the Bust or Bail contest that went down August 30th, 2008. David Gravette, Moose, Andrew Reynolds and Ryan Sheckler. Holy shit!
