Some of the most stylish rail tire slides ever- KK.

The one and only G.R., whip to manual.

Adrian Malberg, Swedish over tooth.

These guys. Tnez, Jeff K. and Alex V. were three of the five judges, and they had their work cut out for them.

Scott Ditchburn, power moves on this setup all weekend long.

Lithuania flairs in full effect; David Budko.

Daniel Tunte, stairset decade. (flame emoticon)

Jersey, coping-free feeble to smith on an unintentionally sick setup.

Alex D.

Flatland spice via Matthias Dandois.

AK steez.

BK coming through with a signature wild-man gap to grind.

Dakota, pre-finals.

Colin Varanyak, opposite ice to hangover tooth. So good.

The power of the 'stache- Diogo Santos.

Rail maintenance. Where’s Garrett's 'crete skills at?

Ed Zunda, up rail to hard 180 turndown. His "Above/Below" part is outrageous.

Pre-finals; let the wildness begin.

Feeble up to decade? Russia's Dennis Pavlov.

Roast-em up. Kevin Kalkoff.

Countless amazing moves went down, but this is one of the best- backwards crooked to crooked by AK.

One example of many reasons why the judges felt Alex Donnachie won.

More AK tech wizardry; tbog-smith-nose-bar.

Lahsaan Kobza, large 180 off ledge.

Creativity; Scott Ditchburn.

Dak-attack, hanger 180.

Garrett doesn't stop.

Jason Eustathiou clicking that toboggan.

Joris Coloumb's rail manual to whip was appropriately awarded the Hard Trick honors.

Ty Morrow, beanie-flying beastly crooked to 360.

If there was an MVP award given out there's a good chance Felix Prangenberg would have been the dude. Shredder.

Naptime.

OK, OK. Simone Barraco, post-nap rail ride to crank-arm grind on the coolest and most sessioned contest kinked rail ever.

Maxime Chaveron fakie wall ride, with a bar thrown in for good measure.

Reed Stark might have been concerned about the rail disintegrating upon impact after doing this way more times than any human should, but she held up when it came down to the finals.

Tony Hamlin, pre-contest wallride. Mr. Hamlin also spun a sweet 180 out of this in the comp.

Being one of the last three dudes trying to get a last trick and having Garrett Reynolds cheer you on can't hurt in the motivation department. Roy Van Kempen, smith to whip.

Bruno took home best line honors, which he could have done with about a half dozen different lines he laced throughout the day.

Lacey is so stoked for Bruno.

This makes sense. "I guess I’ll just hangover toothpick the entire kinked rail from out of a manual at the end of a line, while completely exhausted after riding all day.” Insane.

G.R. feeling the exhilaration of finally pulling that epic line that closed out the comp.

Wow. The York Hall Leisure Centre in London is still smoldering from yesterday's Vans Rebel Jam. So many wild moves went down the Brian Kachinsky and Jeff Klugiewicz-designed course, it's almost headache-inducing trying to recall the countless highlights that occurred all day long. Here's a little glimpse into that wildness; huge thanks to everyone involved for throwing such an amazing comp.
