With 12th place in the street competition, Prague's Tomáš Vintr came up with the best local showing. Top prizes went to the Gauls: The street winner was three-time world champion Bastien Salabanzi of France, followed by Diego Olevio Santo of Brazil and Austen Seaholm of the United States. On the half-pipe, first place went to France's Terence Bougdour, followed by two more Brazilians, Rodrigo Menezes and Marcelo Kosake.

Skateboarding may be flirting with the mainstream, but the competition still gives a booby prize for the "gnarliest slam." This year, that trophy went to Fabio Sleiman. "It was on the drop-in," says Daniel Petřík, a spectator who witnessed Sleiman's 20-foot fall. "He did it twice. After the first one he took a minute, got a drink and shook it off. And then he got up there and did it all over again."
