What are Reynolds, Foy, Oski, Nora and a dozen A-listers doin' in Utah?! They're in for Skullcandy's Crusher Cup event, of course! As if the action at the park wasn't heavy enough, we also got Weezer on the stage. Catch up on what you missed here.

Rollin' up to a friendly face. Townley's read to rock—Salt Lake style

And look, he brought a friend—the graceful Daniel Vargas

Shit's about to get heavy. We recommend you clip in

Young man, we said clip in!

On opening day, the up-and-comers took to the park first for qualifiers. This back three down the block three was just one of many heaters

Jake Yanko had to get a selfie with this crew colorful characters 

Back Smith from the local social media star

Wait, is that Buff Jake?

Think this answer's that question

Just like that one meme!

We got Gary on the mic! This is shaping up to be a fun one. Tomorrow, we hit the bowl!

Dropping in to set the example, Nora hits a kicky back disaster

The bowl might be too deebo for Nikolai

Speaking of deebo, it's Pedro! Blasted frontside air on the hip

He was like this high!

Gary wants someone else to hit the clouds

Schaar obliges. Tweaked out on the horizon

The beanie stays ON during the McTwist

If people are flyin', you know Oski's down. Frontside lien air, in your face

What's goin' on the deck though?!

A flipped-over table is still techincally vert. Reynolds backside flips for the fans 

But Yanko's up on the real shit. Eggs for breakfast

Then over for a heavily branded backside nosepick

His fans were loving it

Jake's team got their kudos. We'll have to wait 'til the end to see who gets the big prize

Did we forget to mention this whole show goes alongside the Kilby Block Party? 

The boys were rubbin' elbows with the right people inside

Gonna tell my kids this was Devo

The kids packed the front, of course

Like, really fuckin' packed it

What are they so fired-up about anyway?

Holy shit! It's Weezer *checks notes* playing the Blue Album!!!

Jake gets it

On the final day, we had to test some gear

Looks like they work

This sort of excercise is hard to translate with photos. A smile's gotta be good though

Kevin's are working, we swear

Yep. They fuckin' work! Alright, let's go skate again

After murking Rincon, this gap to rail was nothin' for Alec

God knows Gustavo Ribeiro didn't waste a second gettin' to the crazy shit, 360 flip noseblunt

Alec was just playin' with this thing

Gus brought that gas. Back noseblunt

That's some new shit

Jake recovered from Weezer surprisingly well, back Smith

The beautiful thing about this guy doing this trick, is we don't even need to caption it, and you know what the fuck's goin' on

Two SOTYs?! Dudes will see this and go "hell yeah"

Gustavo, back up with a crook nollie flip

Does it really need that much wax?

Looks like it! Nikolai, fakie front crooks the whole shit 

Damn, this might be a trend

Townley, all the way over with a lofty three flip

Look left to see Reynolds admiring a fellow frontside flipper

Yanko stunts with another one of Drew's tricks from yesterday! It's a fine line between shade and respect

Alright, Gary, one more

Foy closes it out with a Hail Mary heelflip! Now let's see who took top honors

Read that again, Jake got the best STREET line?! That's a true ATV 

Andrew Reynolds: 1998 Skater of the Year, and now, MVP of the Weekend. Big titles, Boss!

In the end, it was Nikolai's team that took home the goblet. Shit, just look at that lineup!

Can't imagine that's what it was designed for, but it's yours!

That's better

Cheers, everyone! We'll see you next year!
