The Daily Sesh

It’s starting to seem like Chris Cole can’t be stopped. This weekend he took home top honors and $100,000 at the Orange County Maloof Money Cup. After a massive backside 360 kickflip and switch frontside flip in the final section, I knew he had won it. It wasn’t just Cole though, everyone killed it, including David Gravette who won best trick after just barely missing out on making it to the finals. The ams killed it too with Ishod Wair taking first; you can check out the full am results here.

1. Chris Cole
