So as the éS tour continued, we did one of those "demos" in Virginia where no kids allowed the team to actually skate. They just asked for free shit and lurked the course. But Mike Anderson still tried to cruise a little. Then this happened:
Pretty sick back smith though, huh? Anyways, here's the rest of what was exciting from the demo:

I'm betting ESPN is really stoked that Danny nearly killed himself last weekend because Jake Brown landing this run is simply not dramatic or devastating enough for American television.

... Or casts, or surgery...
Love or hate this Mega Ramp bullshit, Danny Way is one gnarly mother fucker. See this slam?
Then this slam happened. And just so you know, about four or five of 'em just like 'em happened in practice too. Faceplants galore.
Then he landed those runs with backflips and varial 540s. He's simply not of this planet.

Like, seriously Paul... I know it's 100 grand, but really, you don't need to slaughter everyone this badly. Let 'em live a little!
Honestly, I've been known to say that sometimes Paul skates a little "too perfectly" for my taste. But sitting there last weekend watching this thing, I didn't realize how much P-Rod really destroyed everything until I got around to editing the footage today. So many first try bangers on the entire setup all done so perfectly... a well-deserved victory if you ask me.

This is the final three minutes of the Maloof Money Cup, in order, with some of the non-makes cut out. Paul Rodriguez, Nyjah Huston, Andrew Reynolds, Darrell Stanton, Jereme Rogers, Chris Cole, Terry Kennedy and Ryan Sheckler... carcass tossing for 100 grand... I mean, your viewing pleasure.

Since the OG Leo video was such a big hit, I did a re-edit for y'all. And here's Bryan Herman qualifying first on Friday night. Speaking of Herman, be on the lookout for our upcoming interview in my beloved The Skateboard Mag.

... And I love it. Aside from barreling over the princess of Saudi Arabia while she was walking near the course with her entourage... yes, you read that right... Leo ran her over... he then did this, which is one of the gnarlier things I've ever seen happen at a contest in my life.
