Chad Muska, presenting the Where The Fuck Is The Muska? award for biggest handrail. “Where the fuck is the Muska? I’m right here!”
...and the Where The Fuck Is The Muska? award for biggest handrail goes to Axel Cruysberghs!
Antihero alumni Bob Burnquist up next to present the Bob Gnar award for gnarliest transition trick
And the award goes to Elijah Berle for the footplant off the wall at Red’s
That wasn’t the only highest/longest/most from the visit to Red’s. Raven won the Hall Of Meat award for his motorbike mishap
Jaqueena from Staples Center fame was brought out to teach twerking lessons

Mike Sinclair and Billy Marks trying to catch as many tater tots as possible in the Hungry Hungry Hippos event
Chocolate TM Sam Smyth enjoying a Beaglerita
Then a surprise announcement from the Tempster
Axel Cruysberghs is officially on Toy Machine!
The next event was somewhat reminiscent of The Newlywed Game
Tony Hawk and Mike Carroll were quizzed on trivial information about their KOTR team riders
Wrong answers were met with a force-fed doughnut from the hands of Andy Roy. Don’t worry; the Tempster was fed vegan doughnuts
Then a vengeful game of throwing tomatoes (and whatever else anyone could find) at Clint Walker on the spinning wheel
Sinclair even got in a few hucks
This took some balls of steel to trust that no one was going to throw anything other than fruit. Pretty sure a beer bottle was the first thing thrown from the crowd…
“This one’s for Raven!”
Coming in at close range
“Get me off of here!”
The shots kept coming even while he was being taken down
Andy Roy returned to the stage covered in shaving cream to present the Mystery Guest MVP award to Sherm
Only five minutes prior, Jereme was in a fit of rage, trying to fight the entire Chocolate team. It's amazing what an award can do to offset a mood swing
Elijah Berle earned the Team Rider MVP award. No shit if you've been watching the episodes
Cheers!
With two MVPs, could Chocolate be in the lead?
"You guys wanna know who fuckin' won the trophy?!"
The crowd in full suspense
The cover is revealed
Forrest is floored
Fuck everybody!
$50,000!
Champagne waterfall with Walker and Hawk
Threepeat!
Birdhouse does it again! See you back on the road in a few months
