ABOUT
SPoT is proud to announce the 13th Annual Clash of the Crews Presented by Vans, the epic shop versus shop team battle.
Teams are composed of four skaters from each invited shop, [including one pro if you got it like that], PLUS an optional TM or shop owner to make it a five person crew. Shop teams will skate together in a jam with the top 3 individual scores averaged for the total score of the shop. The top four crews advance to the finals to duke it out for a $5,000 prize purse.
In addition to the street contest, shops will select riders to compete in 3 other events: Bowl Jam, Street Best Trick, and Death Race. Only one team will claim the Clash of the Crews 2026 title and bring victory home for their shop. Good luck!
