The crew that skated today couldn’t have been more rad. The comradery and stoke was on high, even out of the water. This group ripped!

Along with the killer judges for the day was Luke Pallone. This was Luke’s first time on the mic and he handled the commentary like a BOSS.

The man behind the lens, Anthony Liuzzi getting the angles for a documentary he has been working on since last year. He's been to all stops on the tour and has the gnarly crossover footage to prove it. Be on the lookout for its debut sometime in 2015.
