No time was wasted getting onto the long rail. Sneaker envy was in full effect as Tanner Lawler rode a front feeble in the Nike CK1s.

Too much heat!

Straight no-comply off the top rope was looking promising.

Some unfortunate trends were spotted in the spectator zone. Everything is a cycle. Swishy pants, XXL t-shirts and more bearing covers coming to Sun Diego Summer '16.
