Here's Lakai taking the win and a recap of all the insanity from one of the best KOTR's ever. Pure skateboarding, adventure, stoke, whatever you want to call it: a big thanks to Lakai, Vans, Nike SB, and Dekline for joining this strange ride.

All the ingredients for an amazing tour vid are on display here: a ripping team of pros, talented filmers, and new spots you can't believe actually exist.  Here's Kenny Anderson, Tom Remillard, Sammy Baca, Julian Davidson, and more.

Every skater clips their feet at some point. From that moment, it's a race between gravity and getting your hands out. Here's Angel taking the hit but dodging a faceplant.

New spots and wild demos help push skating forward. Here's Keegan Sauder, Julian Davidson, the amazing board control of Cory Kennedy, and many others. As seen in the Feb 2012 mag.

After killing themselves (and the Challenges book), the Vans team enjoys the end of the road. Trujillo, Berle, Lutheran, Layton, Crockett, and Mystery Guest Arto Saari put on a hell of a show this year.

Kenny Anderson introduces Ray Barbee's part from Ban This.

Jeff Grosso sits down with the innovator of the backside ollie to talk about its origin.

Give Julian Davidson a ledge and some space to roll and he'll put together a sick line.

Nike SB goes full mental at the Los Angeles finish line. Ishod rips a bowl barefoot, Koston keeps his cool in a prank call, and Cory Kennedy continues his tech wizardry.
