The only contest that's still grassroots in a sweaty warehouse in Tampa, Florida. Past winners can show up and go straight to the semi-finals on Sunday. Where hath the moat race gone?

Dope to see the new gen of talent this year. From the all terrain rippers who skated the concrete jam out back and can still tear up the indoor course, to the Japanese tech wizards that held down the podium—the future of contest skating looks insane! Shout out to Brian Schaefer and all the skaters that keep the skatepark and contest series alive.
