Denied
Didrik Galasso, impossible
Hugo Balek with a nollie heelflip at warp speed

Max Wasungu takes his chances with the high-speed hippie jump
Also denied
Frankie goes for the three block
It’s a make!
John Gardner jumps a boneless into the extension
This thing is fast
Ryan Decenzo disregards all warnings and hucks a kickflip from the top rope
Montreal, did you see that?
Pedro finds his moment with a pole jam off the high dive

The crowd is stoked and it's time for the next challenge...
THE RAINBOW CHALLENGE

Nora Vasconcellos on the double rainbow, all the way
Grant Taylor attacks the triple
Elijah Berle glides the 5-0
The Bryans secure another level, Gary likes
Nicole Hause with the slip out, good save
And she's back at it
Oh no, the speed shades go flying!
But Nicole is unstoppable, quadruple rainbow 50-50
Time to level up
Leon rides the quintuple rainbow as the crowd holds their breath
Insanity
Bryan adds a sixth rainbow; things could get hairy
That's three plus three!
Jack O’Grady gets saved from the sack with his quick survival instincts
RIP
Leon flips out at level six
Elijah Berle crosses the horizon
Time to find out what is at the end of the rainbow
THERE IT IS!
PEDRO DELFINO WITH THE BIGGEST RAINBOW GRIND OF ALL TIME. CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYBODY!
What a day already, and we're barely halfway there
Welcome back to another episode of Skatline NBD. This week Gary kicks off the bump-to-bar challenge
Ben St-Aubin, pole jam off the side
Bump-to-bar master John Shanahan pops a classic shove
Hugo Balek rips a huge method grab with Eric Koston in tow
Justin Henry, front shove at level two
John Shanahan, fakie ollie
Going up, Pedro Barros hits the pole jam to frontside grab on level three
Krazy Frankie lives up to the name, backside grab
Of course, Bryan's forklift certified
After pleasing the crowd at level three, Chandler Burton ollies into the fourth dimension
Frontside flip from Ryan, It’s demo time!
Gary loves it
Chima Ferguson shuts down the challenge with an earth-shattering backside 360. Now we gotta move on
Time for the World Championship Game of Skate! Alexis Sablone steps into the arena with confidence
“I got this”
Breana Geering makes her entrance
She’s got back up
Every game needs a few fans on the fence
Keeping with tradition, the first move is decided by an arm-wrestling match. Alexis wins!
And the game begins. The two exchange devastating blows, like this fakie flip from Alexis
There were some ups
And some downs
But when the dust settled, Alexis took the win
Here she is, your new world champion of skateboarding!
The entourage gets the first flick, all hail!
Then onto the next event, the Art Show Challenge. As a man of culture, Eric Koston is the first to approach to the work
Wow, it's stunning
Nora tweaks a nosebone through a 750,000-dollar, one-of-kind silhouette
What's that, Montreal? You want Rick McCrank?!
Who do you think that is throwing a backflip through a priceless Joe Valdez-inspired canvas?
Axel Cruysberghs and Lizzie Armanto break the mold
We love to see it.
Now, there is only one way to end this…
THE VOLCANO CHALLENGE!
It’s a fan favorite
No hesitation, Pedro Barros grabs Indy off the burning Earth
And Grant Taylor goes for the backside air
The gods are pleased
As the volcano grows, Roman Pabich picks the perfect moment for an invert
And narrowly escapes the flames by the skin of his teeth
IT'S TIME FOR THE FINAL LEVEL!
Shawn Hale risks life and limb for a shot at the very first liquid rock to fakie
Worth it
Grant Taylor summons the power of Valdez
And the crowd joins in
With the sea of cheering fans, GT barrels toward certain death
Yet he survives with a tailgrab nosepick on the melting coping
Just as a massive volcanic eruption ensues!
Look out, Conor!
Pedro Barros imitates Icarus on a backside ollie as the lava hits the crowd
And that's a wrap! Thanks for coming, everybody! Now make sure you watch the video to see if Pedro survived this deadly backside disaster
