Just got to the airport here in D.C. with the team and they are off to 'King of The Road.' This trip may be over, but we now have this rad video. Here's the whole weekend with the Vans team on review.

Like I said before, today was a rager. Here are some sick photos from Acosta. Full results below, recap videos coming soon! Even more photos on the Vans Flickr.

The Pro Finals were full of surprises today and I don't know if a single person here saw the last Jam coming. We had Andrew Reynolds vs. Ronnie Creager for the final and Reynolds with the win. If you missed it, you can watch it again below. Photos from today coming soon.

Super impressive Am contest to kick today off. The announcers might have said 'that was proper' and 'watch out pros' about seventeen times. Here are some results. Pro finals coming up.

The Am contest is live now. Watch below, and scroll down a little for the Jam breakdowns.

Just wrapped up a pretty serious dinner with the team and Vans crew. Who rolls in with 27 people and asks for a table.... Oh, oops. Once we finally made it to said table the guys were passing around plenty of stories from the day. After a rain delay this morning, the Pro dudes had a super long day on the contest and some of the Ams hit up the White House. Somehow Acosta made it to both to shoot some sick photos. A few favorites below, and tons more on the Vans Flickr. We'll see you live here tomorrow at noon EST for the Am contest & Pro finals.

These guys just made the cut so you'll be seeing them tomorrow afternoon for the Pro finals. Photos from today coming soon.

Pro Semi-Finals live from Washington D.C. with 24 skaters left. Watch live right here and scroll down a bit for next jams coming up.

Vans rider Johnny Layton makes it through the qualifiers and is headed to Semi-Finals with 11 others from this morning. The top 12 from the last Maloof Cup in New York a few months back will join them. Looking at 24 expected riders in this round in the Jam's listed below. We all saw Collin Provost make the sickest transfer in practice yesterday, wonder if we'll see it again in his first heat today, coming up.

Pro Qualifiers are live now with 5 minute jams.

Just as things were about to get rolling this morning the sky fell out. Here are a few photos from kickin' it with some of the Vans team yesterday to hold you over. We should have a start here soon.

Today was pretty much best case scenario. The weather was sick, the dudes were stoked, and the course was finally complete. The guys skated so long that we had to order 25 pizzas and put them right in the middle of the course to make sure they all ate something. We won't talk about how last night turned into a rager and everyone ended up renting bikes and riding home in the rain at 4:00 Am. Well, actually I guess that was talking about it, so just build your mental picture from that. Also add me riding on Chima Ferguson's handlebars and Chris Pfanner taking a serious slam and me, Chima, and Daniel Lutheran getting super lost. It was all fun and games... well maybe not if you ask Chris, but moving on... Our photographer Acosta was out there killing today as usual. Here are a few of his shots. Head over to the Vans Flickr to see even more.

Not even the freak earthquakes or huge hurricane last week could stop this. The team has made unbelievable progress on the park, and practice gets under way today. Stay Tuned.

Here is a quick look at what the park will look like for this weekend's Maloof Money Cup in Washington D.C. This course will stay as an open park for the public at RFK stadium even after the contest is over. For more details and an even closer look, click here.
