Dalton Dern

I like how Paul Zitzer kept calling this the rollerblader jump. They love stuff like this. It's good for tranny blasters and grabbers, too. Dalton Dern hucked it all weekend over this thing.

Jereme Knibbs

Jereme Knibbs makes everything look good, even the fruit boot catapult. That's a half cab over it.

Bud Howard

Of course, there's mad meron grabbing going down over that thing. Bud Howard's arm looks like it should have a pirate hook on the end of it with that full sleeve fresh bandage.

Yoshi Tanenbaum

The Red Bull Best Trick was one of the most hectic I've seen in a long time. Yoshi threaded traffic to get this big flip over the rail. Look how much clearance that is!

The Best Trick landing pad.
Date: April 16, 2013
Photographer: Rob Meronek

Schaefer got the wrath of the old "don't judge a book/hippie by its cover" when he got on the mic and offered this guy $50 for a kickflip, thinking he likely couldn't even push. Turns out he has not just a kickflip, but a kickflip late shuv.
Date: April 16, 2013
Photographer: Rob Meronek

Here's to all the little filmer and photo kids documenting everything in skateboarding and one day growing up to be the ones that share everything that goes on from the streets to the parks. Ya'll remind me of myself as a kid embarrassing my friends by filming everything on my VHS cam, making rap vidoes, fake commercials, and of course skate videos. I'm glad the internet didn't exist back then. Keep killing it, baby nerds.

Yoshi Tanenbaum

We didn't have enough time to shoot a better one with no hands down, but when the combo is this nuts, you can't complain. A backside tailslide to backside flip 360 out on transition is insane.
