We started the night off with a Flair Challenge and this time I dared Big Boy to do a Flair with LIL’ Cory on his back and the Big Boy defied the odds again and landed it first try! Then we started the challenges first we did a high jump for the kids and a high bunny hop competition for the older guys and yes the 36” record was broken! Then we had crazy best trick competition’s on the Step- up and the double kink rail and the winners got $100 Vans gift cards! after that we had 2 insane games of foot down and ended with a treasure hunt for a free pair of Vans shoes!
