This event promised the largest purse in skateboarding history with a total of nearly $500,000 is cash awarded to the winners. all the big players came out vying for the big payday. on vert we watched bob burnquist, shawn white, PLG, jake brown, bucky lasek and rune glifberg compete for the $75,000 first prize.
Street was a bit chaotic to watch. a few celebrities were on hand: nicky hilton, jordan farmar (lakers), lil john and ryan sheckler was filming his season 3 premier of his show. so camera crews everywhere. the entire competition was exciting to watch. street was set up as a jam session with each skater taking as many runs as they could in the alloted time.
the big winners of the night were (our boy) Pierre Luc Gagnon on vert and PRod on street. woo hoo!
