Here's young Sammy showing signs of becoming one of the most consistent switch skaters of all time. For the record, he's regular foot… We think. Tom Asta introduces this part from the 2002 Shorty's vid.

We hit Spain for 21 days.   No one around for miles.  Check Cards last line - tech street gap and then a dose of the gnar gnar.  It's out there, find it.

Before anyone could tell Felipe that this line would be too difficult and take too many tries to film, he got the make and was ready for lunch.

Here's Lakai taking the win and a recap of all the insanity from one of the best KOTR's ever. Pure skateboarding, adventure, stoke, whatever you want to call it: a big thanks to Lakai, Vans, Nike SB, and Dekline for joining this strange ride.

All the ingredients for an amazing tour vid are on display here: a ripping team of pros, talented filmers, and new spots you can't believe actually exist.  Here's Kenny Anderson, Tom Remillard, Sammy Baca, Julian Davidson, and more.

Every skater clips their feet at some point. From that moment, it's a race between gravity and getting your hands out. Here's Angel taking the hit but dodging a faceplant.

New spots and wild demos help push skating forward. Here's Keegan Sauder, Julian Davidson, the amazing board control of Cory Kennedy, and many others. As seen in the Feb 2012 mag.

After killing themselves (and the Challenges book), the Vans team enjoys the end of the road. Trujillo, Berle, Lutheran, Layton, Crockett, and Mystery Guest Arto Saari put on a hell of a show this year.

Kenny Anderson introduces Ray Barbee's part from Ban This.
