The PacSun Clash at Clairemont II Best Trick contest was hosted by Thiesnuts.com and anawkwardcompany.com. 10 contestants battled an 8-stair with a hubba for the chance to win the 500 dollar cash prize.
After consistently landing a barrage of tricks that ranged from a backside 360 to a half-Cab flip, it was Derek Elmendorf who took home the 500 dollar cash prize.
A special shout out goes to “Ajax” for landing a switch hardflip and switch frontside flip. For all of his hard work he took second place and a 2 dollar cash prize.
