Lake Forest, Calif. – Regular came back with a vengeance and won the fourth annual etnies GvR, putting the Goofies back in their place. The Regulars put a stop to the Goofy winning streak, scoring 1951.75 points over Goofy’s 1910 points. Rick McCrank was voted MVP by the Regulars, and he certainly earned it with his big bag of tricks throughout the finals!
The Regulars put Slap Magazine’s Mark Whiteley in charge of selecting their superteam and his choice of Ryan Sheckler, Andrew Reynolds, Leo Romero, Rick McCrank and Sean Malto as the starting five for the finals, all did him proud. However it was one of the remaining ten qualifiers, Luan De Oliveira that scored the most points for his team and swept up a 15,000 buck prize!
On the other foot, Team Goofy led by Dave Swift – editor-in-chief of The Skateboard Mag, put up a good fight, and skated well but came up short. Local boy Tyler Hendley made a name for himself though, when his Goofy teammates voted him MVP.
At the close of the qualifiers on Saturday night, the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s took the stage in the parking lot above the skatepark in front of the more than 7,000 fans! The entire weekend was filled with great music including performances by JFA, Flosstradamus, Kid Sister and The Solid Sound Band.
