Victors rise and fall everyday across America and today there would be three moving up. Out of the hundreds that skated in the Zumiez Best Foot Forward Am contest this summer, today revealed the ultimate outcome. The local qualifiers gave way to the invitational round. As the heats pressed on, round after round of contestants hucked and slammed. We saw amazing maneuvers and the crowd awaited the results. The five finalists were killing it with all the force that the Twin Cities could provide. Coming out on top were three rippers. Visibly fatigued and coming through with shining colors was Jace Torkelson. Jace made it into third place with his madness and went home a happy man. The second place trophy went to Cody Davis. Cody exhibited extreme consistency all through the day. It was no surprise to anyone's eyes when Cody blasted into the finals and went home in second. Coming in first place was Jack Olson. Jack killed it hard but still had more shredding to do because the national finals were coming up in just a few short hours. After the Minneapolis finals went down in such a big way, the Transworld Best Trick fired up. We saw tricks like huge switch heels, switch tailslides 270 out and coming in with the trick of the day was Kevin Heger. Kevin busted a half-cab noseslide 270 out taking the best trick honors. Due to non-stop ripping all day, Kevin landed himself the Zumiez Destroyer Award as well. The main event came upon us and the crowd was in full-effect. All the rippers from across the country were in play. Dudes like Weston Sparks, Cory Glick and Tom Wilkenson were out there shredding hard. We saw the type of maneuvers we have come to love from rippers Patrick Donivan and "The Working Man"" Dave Mull. When it came down to picking the finalists, the judges had to break it down to not five, but seven. There was just too much going on and these dudes were skating harder than we had seen all s
