Toy Machine nears the finish line as Leo Romero conquers some of the craziest handrails of this year's KOTR… And Mike Sinclair continues his reign as an epic prank caller.

Blood Wizard isn't underground, it's other-dimension. Just know these dudes have skating in their blood. Here's Kunz, Gurney, Toad, Krahn, and the rest of the team. With special mention for opener Chris Gregson and closer Drew Dezort.

Only the Creature team could spice up a round of questions by having every guy get shocked by a Taser. No joke.

Does Creature start feeling KOTR fatigue and slow down at this point? Hell no. This is their wildest part yet. Hell yeah.

Slamming on grass and soil beats cement every time, but it can still knock the wind right out of you.

It's so rad seeing how different teams approach Double Rock, and Blood Wizard does not disappoint. Here's Jerry Gurney, Nich Kunz, Drew Dezort, Jack Given, Chris Gregson, and others.

Angry homeowners, longboards, and Andy Roy's gnarly nose piercing all equal up to a struggle for Anti-Hero in Salt Lake City. But Decenzo shows why he got MVP.

Here is Senn's signature high-speed skating and his great use of hills and spots. This Toy Machine part still holds up and, arguably, has gotten better with age. Jerry Gurney introduces a 1998 classic.

Even though the board doesn't leave his feet, Chris demonstrates his rad board control (as well as bowl control).
