While the rain pours here in SF, the sun blazes in Australia. Bondi always goes off, but this year things got a little bit hotter.

Even Mother Nature couldn’t stop Mother Hastings from going mental this weekend. Congratulations to Alex Sorgente for taking home 1st place and to Dalton Dern for conquering the infamous Hastings transfer.

Alex Sorgente won, Cory Juneau got second, and Brad McClain got third. Here's some of the highlights from each of the top 3's runs with the full edit coming soon...

Canadian tuxedos in full effect. Don't bring sand to Hastings Beach... Qualifications begin!

Broken boards equals broken dreams. Chris Russell had it in the bag but one too many hang-ups enabled Tom Schaar to spin his way to the top. Meanwhile, Pedro Barros stole the show with a death defying NBD. 10 years of the Pool Party and this was the best one yet! Cheers, Vans!

Here's one of the heaviest vert sessions to take place in recent memory, including rippers from three generations: Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Rune Glifberg, Lincoln Ueda, Mike Frazier, Chris Russell, and many others.

Vert skating is still some of the heaviest shit you can do on four wheels. Upstarts Jimmy Wilkins, Tom Schaar and Sam Beckett trade walls with legends Rune Glifberg, PLG and Jake Brown. And then there's the dudes who've never worn pads in their lives - Chris Russell gets stuffed then shuts it down!

Eerily reminiscent of Carbondale 10 years later, the song remains the same. Pedro Barros took 1st in bowl and Couch wore no shoes. Algorta BOWL-A-RAMA and P-Stone were there.

Chalmers opened up the park and everyone got theirs with Sluggo shutting her down. The big dance is today kids. Watch it right here!
