Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Josh has a timeless style and he's developed a reputation for full-speed skating and classic tricks. He's a perfect fit for Santa Cruz and we're really looking forward to this one. Premieres here on Monday.

So many ways to get completely annihilated on this one. Josh lives to tell.
