This years Vans Downtown Showdown in Los Angeles went down in style this weekend with Foundation Skateboards taking the headlines. Their team came in 1st ahead of Blind and Toy Machine in 2nd and 3rd places for overall skating at the comp.
Once again, various teams made obstacles to skate with Flip’s centre piece being an Extremely Sorry Ashtray, Black Label’s Drunk Tank monster set, rail and hubba, Girl’s wonderful take on the Little China Banks complete with benches, and Creature’s Hesh Cross which looked gnar.
Top Am went to Nick Merlino (Foundation) and Top Pro was awarded to Euro rider Jani Laitala who reps Blind. Watch an edit courtesy of the Skateboard Mag here.
