Venom/Madrid pro and Kozakov champion Zak Maytum leads Sector 9 riders Louis Pilloni and Bren Davidson into the first right. This was the first round. Racing is heavy in 2013.
Kozakov is probably the all-around best downhill skateboard event in the world. Max went to shoot photos. Here are some of them.
Rayne pro Patrick Switzer leads Landyachtz’s Andrew Chapman and Madrid/Venom rider Calvin Staub into the first lefty. I think this was the third round, but I could be wrong.
We don’t usually run street luge photos, but Chris McBride is the man, so deal with it.
Jolanda Vogler is thoroughly Swiss.
RAD’s Adam Persson got 2nd. Dude’s mad good, super nice, and may well have the best hair in downhill skateboarding. That’s Micah Green out back and someone I don’t know in yellow.
We did some follow runs in the Abarth 500. Louis had the grip ‘n’ rip through the first right.
Pjäx Christner from Sweden was killing it until he crashed into the hay and got kneed in the face at full speed.
Dude was unconscious for a disturbingly long time, got airlifted to the hospital and just started skating again this week. It was heavy.
50 Cal got 6th.
Landyachtz rider Kyle Martin got 8th.
This was the semifinal.
