Do they do sportsbook betting on skateboarding yet? Because I was rooting for Rune Glifberg, Mimi Knoop, and Chris Miller to win the Pro, Women's, and Masters divisions at the Protec Pool Party, and I would have done pretty well for myself if I'd had any money on it. Congrats to those three, and to Steve Caballero for destroying the Thrasher/Vans Longest Boardslide competition with 18.5 pool coping blocks (Eddie Reategui and Steve Steadham tied to 2nd with 15.25 blocks each).
I missed this one this year – looking at the top 10 results in the Master's division right now I'm repeatedly kicking myself for that – so I'll post links to some firsthand accounts and good video clips as they pop up online over the next couple of days. In the meantime, here's the full results:
