41Tony Tave

42Jake Anderson, Burnquist and Dylan Radloff

43Kyle Walker with his main squeeze

44Chad Muska, presenting the Where The Fuck Is The Muska? award for biggest handrail. “Where the fuck is the Muska? I’m right here!”

45...and the Where The Fuck Is The Muska? award for biggest handrail goes to Axel Cruysberghs!

46Antihero alumni Bob Burnquist up next to present the Bob Gnar award for gnarliest transition trick

47And the award goes to Elijah Berle for the footplant off the wall at Red’s

48That wasn’t the only highest/longest/most from the visit to Red’s. Raven won the Hall Of Meat award for his motorbike mishap

49Jaqueena from Staples Center fame was brought out to teach twerking lessons

50Jaws, Johnny Jones and Forrest—to the stage

51Shake that ass, Forrest!

52Mike Sinclair and Billy Marks trying to catch as many tater tots as possible in the Hungry Hungry Hippos event

53Chocolate TM Sam Smyth enjoying a Beaglerita

54Then a surprise announcement from the Tempster

55Axel Cruysberghs is officially on Toy Machine!

56The next event was somewhat reminiscent of The Newlywed Game

57Tony Hawk and Mike Carroll were quizzed on trivial information about their KOTR team riders

58Wrong answers were met with a force-fed doughnut from the hands of Andy Roy.  Don’t worry; the Tempster was fed vegan doughnuts

59Then a vengeful game of throwing tomatoes (and whatever else anyone could find) at Clint Walker on the spinning wheel

60 Sinclair even got in a few hucks

61This took some balls of steel to trust that no one was going to throw anything other than fruit. Pretty sure a beer bottle was the first thing thrown from the crowd…

62“This one’s for Raven!”

63Coming in at close range

64“Get me off of here!”

65The shots kept coming even while he was being taken down

66 Andy Roy returned to the stage covered in shaving cream to present the Mystery Guest MVP award to Sherm

67 Only five minutes prior, Jereme was in a fit of rage, trying to fight the entire Chocolate team. It's amazing what an award can do to offset a mood swing

68Elijah Berle earned the Team Rider MVP award. No shit if you've been watching the episodes

69Cheers!

70 With two MVPs, could Chocolate be in the lead?

71 "You guys wanna know who fuckin' won the trophy?!"

72The crowd in full suspense

73 The cover is revealed

74 Forrest is floored

75Fuck everybody!

76$50,000!

77Champagne waterfall with Walker and Hawk

78Threepeat!

79Birdhouse does it again! See you back on the road in a few months
