He manages, raps and Lord knows he's hell on a sandwich, but who would have guessed Sam Smyth had a more artistic side behind the camera?

Burnout gets back to work with the last of his King of the Road photos. So two weeks ago.

Here's a bunch of Midway Point hijinx, Jaws slams, and a legendary LA spot. But most of all, Raybourn's loop is even more impressive when you see his wild attempts.

An extra make or two here, a twist of fate over there—and Real would have won this thing. They really went for it, they're good sports, and they have a ripping squad.

Every team had fun this year, but Chocolate really had a blast. Here's a bunch of outtakes and extra angles.

Here's the Highest, Longest, Most awards. Every KOTR there's weird tricks and funny moments, but this edit shows that some truly incredible skating goes down. Huge thanks to Enjoi, Chocolate, Real and Birdhouse. What a rad year...

Birdhouse ends strong to get the win. Mike Davis, Clive Dixon and Clint Walker are skate demons, Wee-Man swings by, Jaws blasts the biggest ollie of KOTR (of course), and you gotta see the enders with Gravette and Raybourn. Amazing. Congrats, guys.

Here's Real in the final stretch. They have to push Arrighi into a pool, they meet up with Lil' Wayne, Brock battles a kickflip late shove-it, and TJ Rogers again tackles some wild tech moves.

The stoke and delirium combine as Chocolate nears the end. Here's a gnarly pool roll-in session, tech madness, filmer hijinx, a Too $hort cameo, and Cory Kennedy continues to rip while gaining no points.

Enjoi goes down South for a pool session with Salba, a prank call to Shier, and a big snapper at Willshire from Wallin as King of the Road nears the end of the line.

The Real team battles harsh bank-to-wall challenges, Mystery Guest TJ Rogers is a tech ledge-wizard, they find a mom who can kickflip, and Jake Ruiz continues to be the big surprise of KOTR with his shocking handrail assaults. 

Portland, Boise, Sacto, and Los Angeles. The Real KOTR Team hit it real hard from start to finish and it was a hell of a ride!

It's rad how Chocolate has evolved into such an all-terrain team over the years. Here they skate deep pits, ledges, rails, and there's even a red curb session.

Some teams fade as KOTR progresses, but Enjoi turns up the energy and weirdness. This is their best clip by far.

Generator races, jousting, kegboards, and a near disaster of blazing proportions all contributed to the midway madness in Sacramento.

Everyone wondered if Tony Hawk would get involved and get dirty to help Birdhouse on KOTR. Hell yes, he does. Also, Clint Walker is the make-out king, and Clive Dixon lipslides a monster rail.

The fives flow like Coors with rooftop Vinsanity, 10-legged downhill and less-than-shy sheboarders. Chocolate KOTR, still in Denver.

Real makes a potato gun, Justin Brock grinds up, across and down a rail, a longboard gets focused, and the team gets 21 females into their van.

Elijah Berle shows his ATV abilities, Stevie Perez battles a backlip shove-it, and the filmer makes a love connection with a girl who has a probation ankle monitor.

KOTR blood pumps heavy in the hearts of the Chocolate team as they crack the book in Denver.

A panda gets to second base, the whole team gets the dubstep blues, and Zack Wallin snaps a rare no-comply fakie.

Here's Birdhouse killing it. Ben Raybourn is a transition genius, Clint Walker gets 25 make-outs, and you gotta see Mike Davis frontside flip a spine. It's so sick.

Real is in this to win and the guys find a stripper who skates, Brock gets inked, Brockel does a huge bar snap, and Jake Ruiz grinds one of the gnarliest 50-50s in KOTR history.

Chocolate starts off with an unreal bank-to-wall session, Stevie Perez gets 10 tricks on one handrail, Vincent Alvarez makes everything look good, and Raven gets a wild barefoot boneless.

After a rad intro section, Enjoi starts things off with a bunch of manual and transition tricks, they find a mom who can kickflip, and Jimmy Carlin shows he's gonna have the most fun of all.

Oh. Shit. Here we go. Chocolate vs. Real vs. Birdhouse vs. Enjoi. Webisodes start Monday, Jan 6. These are gonna be good. 

Congratulations to Birdhouse for winning the 2013 King of the Road.

Taylor Smith joins the Enjoi team as they continue to fill out the book.

An all-star cast plus Jereme Rogers when Girl took the KOTR challenge. Coast to coast - no shirt, no pants - no problem!

The Chocolate team attacks the book and Elijah goes for a Ho-Ho. Can you teach a new dog old tricks?

Guns, boobs and gushing head wounds when Foundation last went on King of the Road. Lucky to be alive!

Is the Birdhouse team skating or getting stoned?

The Real crew gets started on the book in Portland, OR.

Joe Brook checks in from the road with the Enjoi crew.

More crazy good times and gnarly skating from the '06 and '07 King of the Roads.
 

The Chocolate team opens their book and gets to work in Denver, CO.

Dan Z meets up with the Birdhouse crew and hits the road.

Take a look at what the competing teams have to try and fill out.

The day before King of the Road kicked off, Real got an unpleasant phone call from Ishod Wair. Seems that Ishod pinched a nerve in his back and is completely unable to skate for a while. After one phone call, Jake Donnelly is in and it's on!
