Superstars from every skate generation descended on Venice for an all-terrain takeover. Join Decenzo, Midler, Russell, Hosoi and more as they crush the course and link up with some of the world’s wildest locals. —Alex Papke

The future is here, and Cybertruck look-a-likes are officially in

The locals were starting out strong

So strong that they immediately rushed some of the best in the biz

Outside the park, the crazy never stops

I think Burnett coined the term “masterlensman” on these things so I’m just running with it. Bo Def, Ira Ingram and Bublitz

Even the security guards are rolling in style today

Back to the park, everyone was coming out for this thing

Hosoi's here. Repeat, Christian Hosoi is here!

And even some familiar faces from Florida: Mike Wine, Gas Giants CEO Ish Cepeda and Shotgun.com legend Chris Blake

Venice Beach, continuously making me feel too old to be here

Especially when a child born in 2015 can soar a stalefish in the deep end

Onto the main show—recent cover star Chris Russell came out swinging with a larger-than-life front D

Sorge was there, going full speed on deep-end feebs

Alva was there, cash in hand. Just like it should be

One of the many close calls

But that didn’t stop The Muscle

Zion tapped in for five minutes and thoroughly wowed the crowd

Little-to-no breathing room on the deck

Ruby Lilley is no stranger to a good back nosegrind

And, of course, I needed to get my wings on

Do I get paid extra for this one?

DJ Samurasta gave us a good lesson on what a layback should look like

Hosoi got it too

Maximum stoke

Outfits from the locals were on fleek

Did we mention Gary Rogers was there?

But more importantly, so was this guy

Why does Ewan wear a mask? Couldn’t tell ya. I’m glad we finally got an unmasking thanks to the GOAT Anthony Acosta

Closing the curtains, Jordan Santana went full psycho and hit the crowd with a heavy 540

And in the process, I somehow managed to rip a brand new pair of pants

Moving courses, the Natas hydrant challenge was in full effect. TJ Rogers figured it out quickly

Venice might be where the cross fade was invented

If there’s anyone that’s gonna be able to Natas spin the hydrant, it’s definitely AA

A round of applause from Alva means you’re doing well

You coulda guessed this number-one spot from a mile away

The crowd got their money’s worth

Moving to a more “high-octane” course, the OG Venice wallride was back in action. Hosoi never lost it

I peaked pretty early on with this doubles photo of Hosoi and Scott Oster. I think I can go home after this

But things were just getting started. Roman got his hands on the extension

Backed up by one of my new favorites to watch—Santana Saldana

All the skate dads were there

Meanwhile, AA was still doing his thing

Russell took it all the way to the text

While Zion took inspo from Andy

And Roman went a less traditional route

Sorge took this noseblunt home for the hounding paparazzi

Good squad hanging by the coolers: Thomas Dristas, Sean O’Connor and Yuri Facchini

Not to mention Queezy and Lui

The locals didn’t slow down. I’ll tell ya that much

Moving courses again, we ditched the hydrant for kicker ramps. Ronnie Kessner got things started with a blasted kickflip

Followed closely by Lil’ B with a big switch frontside flip

The entire Bublitz family made it out!

A bigger deck for the roll-in might have helped

But that didn’t stop Greyson from hitting his signature one foot

And he still had speed for a massive front blunt

Christiana Means came out swinging with this tré bomb

They're clichés, 'cause they're true; you really do have to pay to play

B-Turner wasn’t slowing down at all. I saw at least three switch hardflips that day that were as tweaked out as this one

At a car wash or across a chasm, you can count on Midler's back threes

With TJ hot on his back heels

Moms loved it

Even T-Puds signed some autographs

You know you’ve made it when you get a Frenchie. Congrats, Ronnie

And for the finalé, we’ve got a decked-out Toyota on the course. Decenzo had to crack it off. Nosegrind

Andy really can skate anything

Can we please get Santana on a board brand

Gustavo did every photographer's favorite trick like it was nothing

Not sure what Gary was doing here, but it looks like Andy’s out

Midler took the BSNB to fakie to new heights on the bump to ledge

Front three sail from none other than David Loy

As the sun was setting, Yuri busted out that iconic frontside flip. The boss would be proud

Greyson went full-on Venice dude with a huge back 180 judo on a borrowed board from Russell

The crowd was down. Let’s see who walked away with top honors

First big check. Congrats, Paige!

Jhanca cashed out, once again

But most importantly, Cold and Christiana won king and queen. You know Cody’s hanging that one up at the crib

Not gonna lie, the big check is a little more photogenic

In the words of our man Gary, “WE OUT.” Thanks for having us, Redbull. Venice Beach will never be the same
