Last year, wee Australian Ryder Lawson won the Nike Skateboarding Junior Division and went on to make international shockwaves by landing a spot on Flip and competing in the Maloof Money Cup in NYC. This year, he turned 15 and graduated to the Open Division. Our man at the scene, Mitchell Tomlinson checks in from Down Under: On the big rail, Ryder busted out his back smiths, back lips to forwards and fakie (depending what mood he was in) and 360 shuved it to lip in his stride. Down the small rail he toyed with big spin front boards, and over the hips he twirled front threes. He also backside late shuved the wheelchair ramp and ice picked to fakie on the vert wall. So yeah, he pretty much killed it. Well done, Ryder! For the full story click here.
