The jump ramp is all about GLORY, especially when it’s launching you into a hill bomb. Dime took the challenge from the arena to the streets for the Day 2 festivities.

Embark on this photographic journey through the most insanely sane skateboarding event on Planet Earth.

Vans hosted a double-decker bus SF skate history tour followed by an epic sesh at Treasure Island. Burnout climbed aboard.

On Friday, Gonz had a surprise Bday party in Hollywood and our man Hambone was there to catch the action. Cheers to the big 5-0, Mark! 

A secret contest up in Portland? No social media allowed during the event? Everybody killing it? Hell YES. Congrats to Austyn Gillette for capturing the top spot.

A warehouse packed with friends smiling, shouting and smashing boards. Check out some photos here.

Converse premiered their first full-length video, Purple, last night. For those of you who were not fortunate enough to catch the premiere, we had Mac Shafer cover the event with all of your favorite skaters.

Old crusty spots separate the men from the boys. Parque de Carolinas in Quito, Ecuador has been there for 40 years. It ain't going nowhere. I took the best of '97 there and it went off—cops, broads, beers and busting. The next time I went 20 years later, the kids that grew up with the mag wanted some Eccy juice. Took the now dudes and, needless to say, Hellride was on, "Rocky Mountain Way" all the way. —Jake Phelps
