Caine Gayle skated hard all day and walked away with 5th place. Darrell Stanton landed some really good stuff and received 4th. Tommy Sandoval skated great and earned a well-deserved 3rd place. Terell Robinson pulled out some tech moves on the seven-stair and some big hits down the 12, earning him 2nd place. Chris Cole destroyed every obstacle. He won each separate Best Trick Contest and then the whole deal overall, too. Chris walked away with four trophies and $32,000 for his efforts. Damn.
Check out a few tricks that went down at the Contest:
- Chris Cole did a 180 to switch feeble, 180 out. It's nuts. If you’ve seen Video Days, you might remember that Gonz did that trick on a double sided curb. He also did a frontside 180 to switch crook on the seven-stair first try which got the Contest started and then 360 flipped the 12-stair set.
- Terrell Robinson did a nollie bigspin back lip on the seven-stair. He nollied the 12-stiar and then nollie boardslid the rail. He also almost fakie flipped the 12-set.
- Sheckler skated the seven-stair and landed frontside feebles and frontside flipped it.
- Eric Koston made a kickflip frontside krook on the ledge.
- Josh Kalis did a backside 180 nosegrind 180 out on the ledge. Josh came really close to making a bigspin fakie 5-0.
- Even Hernandez frontside flipped the 12-stair and did a switch big heel down the seven-stair.
- Caine Gayle was limping at the end of the day from skating so hard. He kickflipped 50-50 the seven-stair and did a frontside 5-0 on the 12-stair.
- Timmy Thompson wasn't pro or even in the Contest, but jumped in the heated 12-stair session and nollie flipped it perfect.
- Tim O'Connor announced the whole event and succeeded in making everyone laugh.
- P-Rod came really close to a switch flip back tail down the seven-stair.
- Tommy Sandoval did a backside 180 late bigspin down the seven, a frontside big spin down the seven, a noseblunt slide on the seven-rail, and also frontside flipped the 12-stair.
If you happen to be driving through the Dayton, Ohio area make sure you get your ass to Kettering and skate Rob Dyrdek's amazing Skate Plaza. Rob put a lot of time and effort into making the Plaza happen, so big ups to him for listening to the needs of skateboarders.
