The format started with an hour warm up leading to an hour Jam session with the top 10 Men and Boys and the top 5 girls being singled out for the Trickbusters finals...

In the final there was a pack of cards containing 52 tricks which where randomly picked , the judges - James Carr, Aly Mcmorland and Thom Boddington where watching to see the riders try to land as many of the chosen tricks on the centre stair set as possible.

Some awesome shredding was on show  Neil Cambell , Conner and Reece Gould where all sending it! All night....

Last night I made a skate vid after being inspired by Carter hewlett filmed at the mk bus station and Sam Birds movies. 
Spontaneously, a friend and I decided to make this video on the kNSM Island in Holland. Admittedly, my skateboarding is not the best but you got to try before you die.
