The main event saw many of the big poppers bounding over the barrels of beer. Tommy Fynn kickflipped eight for kicks, and ollied a massive 13 kegs. Jon Lorcan cleared 11 kegs for all the old heads. But it came down to Corey Nixon, Sam Atkins and Nixen Osborne for the longest leap.

Thanks to Distillery Road Market and Burleigh Brewing for putting on an epic event.
