8. Skateboarding

So who’s primed to take the reigns from Tony Hawk as the country’s next top skateboarder? Well, after the Battle at the Berrics competition last week, we’d say it might be a toss-up between Mike Mo Capaldi and Benny Fairfax. The two went head-to-head in the final round of the battle—a trick-for-trick tournament of skating that plays out something like a game of HORSE in basketball. Check out a video of the championship match here.
