The best bowl bruisers descended on Melbourne for the inaugural Vans Park Series event. The finals were a barnburner! Enjoy the highlights...

While the rain pours here in SF, the sun blazes in Australia. Bondi always goes off, but this year things got a little bit hotter.

These finals had everything – Gregson and Hatchell's tech wizardry, Pedro and Russell's muscle, Raven and Ronnie's classic flow, Raybourn's eclectic bag of tricks ... hell, Christian Hosoi was even in there! Watch this twice then go learn eggplants. 

Watch Lara, Vargas, Silva and Gregson batlle for a slot in the big show before Alex Sorgente shuts it down with an NBD transfer. These finals are gonna be heavy!

Even Mother Nature couldn’t stop Mother Hastings from going mental this weekend. Congratulations to Alex Sorgente for taking home 1st place and to Dalton Dern for conquering the infamous Hastings transfer.

Alex Sorgente won, Cory Juneau got second, and Brad McClain got third. Here's some of the highlights from each of the top 3's runs with the full edit coming soon...

Eerily reminiscent of Carbondale 10 years later, the song remains the same. Pedro Barros took 1st in bowl and Couch wore no shoes. Algorta BOWL-A-RAMA and P-Stone were there.

Watch Curren, Raney, Russell, Pedro, Ronnie, Greyson, Blair - all your favorites, basically, battle it out in one of the heaviest bowl competitions in modern memory. The kids are taking over and Raven Tershy is leading the charge! 

Air gets caught, hands get planted, trophies get raised and Curren Caples almost has to run for his life at the Van Doren Invitational in HB.
