The maddest Freeride event of the year went down in Utah over the weekend, with Kurt Sorge, ending up as Red Bull Rampage champion for 2012. The limits these guys push on this crazy course defy description.

Kelly Slater wins in perfect French Tubes! QuikPro France 2012

King Kelly takes win 51 in France!
I don't think you could ask for a better final day in professional surfing. Kelly versus Joel Parkinson and Jon Jon Florence versus Dane Reynolds, followed by a Dane and Kelly final. Some big names were also beaten early, meaning the world title race is now wide open! Joel has moved to number 1 with his 3rd place finish in France and Kelly slots in at number 2. This means poor Mick fanning has slipped to 3rd, followed by John John and Taj Burrows.it is super tight between the top 3 and you can believe that Portugal is going to be a huge fight for points.

Hats off to Dane Reynolds making the final as a wildcard. The guy ripped France and Kelly was the only guy ever looking like beating him. Kelly is a machine! With his 51st win on tour, he puts himself right back in the hunt for world title number 12 and solidifying his place as the greatest athlete of all time.



QUIKSILVER PRO FRANCE FINAL RESULTS:

Crazy Hand Stand Downhill Run - Guiness World record Attempt


This guy deserves a medal! Hand standing on flat ground is tricky enough, but on a longboard cruising down an open road, that's balls. He absolutely cleans his knees on the dismount, ouch!

Massive tricks come out at the Cash for Tricks Cable Wake Comp


The 2012 Cash for Tricks Cable Wake comp went down at the Interboot Trade Show in Germany. I love the format for these events, with the biggest tricks being rewarded. It really pushes the progression of the sport and the riders. Make sure you watch till the end as there are some massive 720 and double backrolls towards the finals.
