Team Pain's Triple Threat

A new event hits Surf Expo thanks to Team Pain. Check the photos. Gallery

Twice a year Orlando, Fla. is home to Surf Expo. Don't let the name fool you -- there is a heavy skateboarding presence at each Surf Expo. But, Surf Expo is much more than industry meetings and new products. Team Pain Skateparks design and build a new course for each event. Past years have ranged from mini ramp contests to street contests to old-school vert contests.

This year Team Pain's crew held it down with a street course a little out of the ordinary, referred to as the Triple Threat Event, with three different skate events each day and giving away $3,333 each day to whoever could hold it down the hardest. The skater at the end of day three to walk away with the most cash would be crowned the winner of the Triple Threat Event. Team Pain built a large course for the skaters to throw down some tricks on with stairs, rails, hubba ledges, a grass gap, perfect hips, and ledges everywhere. Some skaters went home with a lot of cash, some didn't. But, everyone had an awesome time. Click on the gallery for the goods.
