Its crazy watching Winkowski flip around that land yacht he rides. Mad respect.

[@nolliejay73]

woow so insaaaaaane! also a 500 dollar price poool?! changing lifes out here! must be a an awesome opportunity for the PRO's skating for your company to win an extra 500 dollars.. congrats to santa cruz to put up this absolute baanger of an event!! cant wait for mooore!!!🎉

[@ianturnbow7011]

I can’t if this is mildly sarcastic since people have been open about the industry not paying their riders well or what.

[@tylerriggs95]

They’re under contract. Filming for 2 hours for a YT series and a chance to win $500 is not some monumental ask.

[@tylerriggs95]

[@the.littlest.toaster]

500 for a game of skate and there's money in the cup as well.

[@goskateminnesota7256]

The 2000s board shoulda been a 7.5 or at most a 7.7.

[@mamamamamamamable]

thought so too. barely anyone had 8s back then

[@JayChuckOnFire]

That blind frontside flip was actually really impressive. Holly shit

[@nickt204]

Tom and Winks have two stone cold personalities, funny to see them pitted against each other in a goofy atmosphere

[@jacobsnead5545]

Dude, tom doing the double flip on the 70s board was insane. Asta is the most solid on SC. Good job dudes

[@mikegeary8056]

The contestants are not psyched.

[@Alskie666]

This was fun as hell to watch. Handcuffed rebate. For the theme maybe a fakie bank game of skate where the bank gets steeper after each letter?

[@ClippitOfficeAssistant]

Andrew Cannon is so fried. Looking like a little kid on his first day of school

[@andrewslocum8826]

everything is awesome😎😎😎😎

[@zukitori5442]

More winkowski please!!!! Love this guy and his personality

[@Just_Ed201]

enjoyed the video, hope the next one has some refined rules. I could see this being a super fun idea. I got to say though $500 is barely enough for a flight from east coast to west coast. lol

[@AFKolby]

This series was so awesome! looking forward to the next one.

[@ejkeatts101]

One shoe rebate! Only socks rebate! No laces rebate! Arms have to be inside shirt rebate! Have to do the trick switch rebate!

[@guenoit534]

inverted shoes rebate ;)

[@BrandonOfJapan]

Full nude rebate

[@endless1247]

Is that 500 1$ bills‽

[@IsaacExtra-pb7qf]

I loved this series! Can't wait for more. Here's an idea I took from Jonny Giger: bearings only. They have boards with no wheels, just bearings. The bearings break a lot, so they have to keep replacing them though, so have a giant bag of them ready.

[@ZenStarwalker]

Next: Santa Cruz vs Toy Machine

[@acidod]

Fun game to watch! Keep up the good work.

[@bewatermyfriend7355]

Great games! So many cool skaters

[@Owjdnskoakansbskk]

Tom Asta is the Elden Ring final boss of skateboarding

[@WORLDFESTMMXCIX]

Props to Asta for pulling off all the tricks he did on that 70's board. The big spin + double kickflip were insane.

[@pablomarquez-nj8ql]

This something I’d expect braille to do when they were around ….

[@seankeef9838]

Looked like Tom wanted to focus that 70's board so hard!

[@SKIZZWARD]

Sick event. Tom always killin it!

[@enjoiskater06]

Here's an idea for a future SKATE tourney. Shoe size increases with each letter. Cheers. Enjoyed this tourney a lot

[@enjoiskater06]

PS bring back Gravette

[@jasonharris5201]

I’ve been waiting for this, let’s Gooo!!!

[@avsccm]

Some themes I would like to see are: bigger wheels each time, different types of shoes each time (skate,bowling,baseball, hockey skates without blades etc), looser trucks each time, switch board locations each time ( anything goes first, regular only after S, nollie only after K, switch only after A and fakie only after T type of tricks). Some rebates would be: no griptape, 7.5 deck, hands tied behind back, must manual into trick and ankle weights.

[@johneapleseed6876]

I fucking love this show

[@SkateboardEnjoyer]

Yeah this was so fun, great event big ups putting it on. So so good

[@dontcallmegus]

"Oh finally, it's over." We're all with you there, Winkowski. This was so cringy.

[@tylerriggs95]

Nah it was cool, they just needed better flatground skaters to compete with Tom.

[@dontcallmegus]

@@tylerriggs95 I don't know I didn't like this at all. The constant narration is particularly bad. Skateboarding is and should be a fun thing, but it doesn't have to be a KZbin-influencer-stupid level of goofy.

[@tylerriggs95]

@@dontcallmegus Andrew cannon is a huge weenie. The challenges were still cool even if the presentation wasn’t.

[@Dylan-ln7lb]

​@dontcallmegus agree whole heartedly. Also not a fan of how much they allow SKETCHY tricks to pass.. they're pros....

[@hollabackgod]

Please do this again

[@nucleareggplants]

this was fun! rebate ideas: 1. trade entire outfits, board setups, shoes with your opponent! 2. right shoe on left foot/left shoe on right foot. 3. do the rebate with your trucks on backwards. 4. loosen your trucks and all your hardware as much as you can without them falling off. 5. dump an entire box of the candy "nerds" where the trick has to be performed. 6. "2 to make it true" you must land your rebate twice in a row! 7. barefoot 8. cover entire grip tape with santa cruz stickers. 9. safety first (so wear goggles and maybe a cup), but your opponent gets to shoot you with 1 single paintball from 50-100 feet away while attempting the rebate, either before you pop, during the trick or while trying to ride away. 10. do the rebate with 3 wheels!

[@gavencarter712]

tom is a humble king, and erick is a fun competitor

[@jwhhope]

Little discrepancy in the board selections. The '90s, were the start of popsicle stick boards between 7’’- 9’’. Still....Tom-Erick, GREAT GAME!

[@scottmccrimmon1]

Yo the heel on that double flip is a violation lol

[@simson7246]

Crazy Game 😂 I Like that💪🏻👌🏻

[@shawnblack5939]

Winkowski is a beast on defense 🔥

[@darylem6938]

Early 2000s was not a 7.75 ?? Wild.

[@tylerriggs95]

Yeah it was, sometimes 7.6

[@SwitchSmith]

Fuk what a game ! Hats off to Asta my dude !!!

[@kirbymerby]

Eric already rides an 80’s board what do you mean

[@lilballer04027]

Dam that front side flip blind folded was insane

[@son_of_a_bob4761]

Mountain Bike Dave making an appearance

[@Backlashed]

Instead of changing boards get a circular saw, every letter your opponent cuts off an inch from the nose or tail (maybe go back and forth) of your board

[@justinbishop7142]

Please do this again soon

[@alexandersillan8139]

You gotta do a full park game of skate

[@Str1ctlyB1zness47]

Window ski is a fucking beast for landing all those tricks on his style of board he’s really learned how to master that . The nollie tre I didn’t see happening and he pulled it clean respect to all the SC loccs

[@officialmilitaryskate]

The squeak on that board was insane

[@mensen2462]

A game of skate where the grip of the tape or wheels changes after each letter could be interesting.

[@jaimemedina6895]

This was sick!

[@strikeordie69]

Tom is so damn good. Doesn’t matter what size.

[@beaupsaila]

Awesome content but can we please see more Roman Hager! He's entertaining AF

[@johnnypea43]

Remind us who the dude in the cardigan is?

we weren't skating boards that wide in the 90's

Insane defense!

This needs to be the new standard for s.k.a.t.e. For pro youtube 🙌🏽

[@ghostme1635]

Asta was gonna win this the second I heard he was in the competition

[@TheAmplifiedOrganic]

Theme: Trucks begin as tight as they can get, and progressively get looser. Final stage is the Daewon, where you remove the top bushings and have them loose as hell. Rebate: You need to land the trick carrying a giant classic boombox (The Muska)

[@chanotelevision]

Dale viejito!

[@berniehughes5234]

an odd match of two very different pros...watching Winkowski hold down defense was rad- he really can skate...

[@Netherworld_Artifacts]

Extra rebate - Take a wheel off for that extra try.

[@kingdomcoomies518]

Hesh v fresh the final 😂

[@Clocktowerdreamhousee]

Why the hell did they count winkowskis double flip hahah

[@skateboard446]

Pity points

[@timmybummers2212]

One of the things could be to use a board without griptape. A rebate could also be that you ask another pro to do the trick for you!

[@mattmunn9015]

Damn that was corny, why you putting the legends through all that? Also seems like your co host went mute on this one lol

[@KeithSkates]

🐐 vs 🐐

[@SteezyMongoPush]

Yall should do different eras of shoes! Make them skate in some Chad Muska Gold Supras 🤣

Good to see Asta bring home the bacon for the family.

Has anyone suggested making them Skate a surfboard yet? Maybe flippers for a rebate?

[@Deathcatclub]

8:45 why was that not a redo?

Best thing of this being over is that we don't have to hear Cannon voice or see the tattoo hairdresser guy doing/saying nothing.

I didn't realize everyone rode walmart boards in the early 2000s

[@megaw9571]

Next time you need a board with four different wheel sizes and also different durometer for each if possible

[@The_StairTool]

I'm calling it first, Winkowski for the WIN

[@darylcorncakes7825]

The Taylor swift shit was so awful

[@crabPEOPLE2000]

I knew Tom was gonna win from the get go that mf about his money

[@savagelifeskateboarding]

Yall say the skate industry doesn’t pay its skaters well that’s bs Santa Cruz is out here putting it all on the line and raising the bar by giving away 500 bucks in dirty Glove compartment nickles for not one but 8 games of skate 😂now you have enough for a week of gas and a new complete because they prob charge yall for boards

[@sirdabzmcgee]

rooting for Asta cause he home team but, Winkowski is super dope but, i gotta root for the locals!

[@MereCashmere]

Wetter and wetter pants, start soakin from the bottom and work your way up to da bawlz

500 hundred dollars is wild for 8 games of skate yall are cheap af
