King of the Road is an institution in skateboarding. Started by Thrasher magazine in 2003, it's a demented, roving adventure that follows various skate teams across the country as they compete to accomplish a set list of tasks, some of which carry great risk of bodily harm, and others that don't involve skateboarding at all (but still might carry great risk of bodily harm).
Catch up with the survivors as they recount the hard-won victories, epic embarrassments and pants-wettingly absurd scenarios that make this skate contest like no other.
The teams arrive in Seattle for some bizarre head-to-head action at the Marginal Way park. The scavenger hunt books are handed out and they start on the oddball challenges.
The teams get their first city challenges leading to a handrail showdown. Mike Davis handles the make-outs, which goes great until he accidentally locks lips with a certain woman.
Rain in Seattle can't keep the teams from their points, tattoos, or piercings. Everyone heads for their second cities, but not before Birdhouse attempts sabotage.
Toy Machine turns hippie. Jaws competes in a pole dance contest. Elijah grinds the flaming rail of doom, and Raven has a near-death experience.
The teams meet in San Francisco to pick up their Mystery Guests and compete in a deadly downhill race. The new bounty-challenges are introduced and sends everyone scrambling.
Toy Machine gets punk with Corey Duffel, Chocolate rocks out with Bad Sh*t (and babysits their kids) and Birdhouse finds out what it really means to be a hardcore skater in SF.
Toy Machine hypnotizes a chicken, Birdhouse goes country and all three teams get twisted up in the Gonz circle-board. Chocolate scores a hole-in-one with their Mystery Guest.
Big tricks, monster drops and an impromptu twerk-off as the teams reach LA. Johnny gets wrecked and Birdhouse once again plays dirty.
Almost home, Birdhouse goes Mega with Bob Burnquist, Toy Machine parties with Tommy Sandoval and Chocolate shreds pools with Salba before an accident sidelines Elijah.
With the clock ticking in LA, the teams give it one last big push. A bounty challenge pits Clint against Raven, with nasty results.
An awards show as only King of the Road could do it--weird, sloppy and downright ridiculous. Clint gets a taste of his own medicine and the big winners are finally revealed.
