It’s astounding how much insane footage can be logged in just one trip these days. Especially with a team as sick as the Indy squad. Cement pits and raw streets get annihilated here.

Indy grinds through the Pacific Northwest leaving coping dust and truck shavings in their wake. Get the story behind the mission, including a Bobby Worrest Q&A. Parts two and three coming next week. Stay stoked.

Check out Erick Winkowski's first session as a pro as he takes his new pro board for a spin, and find out how the graphic came to be from the man who created it, artist Ken Taylor.

Start your week off right with a minute of Erick Winkowski from OJ wheels.

The idea was simple: take nine of the best amateur skaters in the world on a good ol' fashioned American road trip. What we ended up with might be the heaviest 10 days of all time. Watch Jarne, Axel, Erick, Ducky, Glick, Foy, Mason, Tyson and Zion redefine what it means to be a sponsored amateur. This is the first annual Thrasher Am Scramble!

Get to know the Am Scramblers before they detonate the GD Internet–full video premieres here on Monday. 'Bout half these dudes turned pro after the trip, so you know this one's HEAVY!
