It was another great competition this week, featuring Skate Dice—a game made popular by the TV show “The Berrics.” The game is a combination of Yahtzee and basketball’s HORSE. Dice are rolled to determine the skate trick and each competitor must land the trick, or be assessed a letter penalty. After five misses, SKATE is spelled and the contestant is out. This game is typically very challenging, with lots of unusual tricks and odd trick variations being attempted. Many of the tricks, contestants have never tried before.

After landing a myriad of tricks, including switch backside kickflips, 360 flips, and nollie heelflips, Eric Fregoso toke the win! This is the second win in a row for Eric, putting him in the lead for overall champion.

Eric scored a matching hat and t-shirt from Dragon Optics for his impressive skateboarding versatility!
