Hurley’s Curren Caples, the youngest ever competitor at X Games, finished fourth place last night behind Kevin Kowalski, Andy Macdonald and Pedro Barros respectively – a sign we’ll be seeing much more of Curren at X Games in coming years. But if you can’t wait for X Games 2011, make your way down to Huntington Beach this week for the Converse Coastal Carnage skate event, where Curren was runner-up in 2009. Full coverage and schedule of events for the 2010 US Open of Surfing are available at usopenofsurfing.com.

Bob Burnquist finishes second to Jake Brown for second straight year at X

They say it's not a fashion show. But come on, it kind of is. And on the opening night of X Games 16, Bob Burnquist's look was nothing if not fashion forward.

If you didn't catch it on prime time, Bob lost to Aussie Jake Brown in Skate Big Air for the second year in a row. He just missed landing a 900 on his final run which would have virtually clinched the win for him, and fell short of the gold by 0.66. But as much attention as Bob might have grabbed for his neck-and-neck race for the gold with Brown, his built-for-Hollywood entrance might have turned just as many heads. Using Bob as its model and the Big Air venue as its runway, Hurley unveiled its new Hurley/Tron Collaboration line -- due out in stores on November 15th, 2010, a month before the new movie drops on December 12th. Bob skates again tomorrow, along with fellow Hurley family member 14-year-old Curren Caples, in the Men's Skate Park portion of the contest, airing on ESPN and ESPN3.com, from 2-5pm.

Footage from Bob's summer-in-training.

Slated to compete in both X Games 16 and the Maloof Money Cup Orange County in a nine-day span, Bob Burnquist's summer has consisted of training, training and, well, more training. Check out this video to see what Bob's been working on.

Check out the "making-of" video we took during the artists' latest collaborative effort.

Hurley resident artist Jason Maloney and graffiti wizard, Bigfoot, joined forces to create a 110-foot long by 20-foot tall spray-painted mural on the walls of 14-year-old skate prodigy Curren Caples' private skate park.
