... 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.

This is Sean Malto practicing at Maloof Money Cup last Wednesday about three minutes after setting up a new deck, wheels and bearings...

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.
PS. I'm Staff Writer now beeyotch! Stoked!

... 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.

Part of why I love skateboarding so much is simply because of how effortlessly funny people are... constantly. In this case, Koston observes a Malto slam, with special guest appearances by Alex Olson and Mike Carroll!

If you don't mind waiting for a 200 meg 10 minute clip to load and some sporadic sketchy audio, and watching a nervous and flu-ridden version of me trying to be funny, then here ya go. The Tim O'Connor Adidas Roast. These are jokes. You know... fun? Somehow I didn't catch a beating. Hugs 'n handshakes 'n other peaceful bro gestures were exchanged with all when all was said and done... phew. I even saw Reese in the men's room at the TWS awards recently and we totally bonded!

This is what happens when you are drinking and bored in a hotel room on an etnies tour in Tennessee. Not sure how we even got to this point, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Malto has good form... my head barely hurt the next day!
