11th Annual TWS Skateboarding Awards

By: Tom Morin

TWS Awards
The 11th Annual Transworld Skateboarding Awards will go down June 12th at the Avalon in Hollywood. The show is a who's who of skateboarding, with your favorite pros, industry people and entertainers presenting each award. It's like the Grammy's of our industry, just a little a dirtier, drunker and rowdier.

It's going to be cool to see Hasoi get the TWS Legend award, to have been through what he has, and be back slaying pools again, it's just such a remarkable story. Some other areas of interest are going to be: whether or not Silas Baxter-Neal will be able to back up his Thrasher Skater of the Year honors with a TWS Best Street award, the Readers' Choice award because "the people" that make up skateboarding decide it, and the Best Video award because with no Fully Flared hype-machine this year, it's not as obvious.

Spencer O'Brien and Sebastien Toutant claim Winter Dew Tour Slopestyle Championships

The two were unstopppable at Snowbasin.

Words: Alli Sports

Sebastien Toutant came to the slopestyle course today at Snowbasin with one goal in mind - to win his first Dew Cup at the Toyota Championship. After a season of consistent riding, placing second at the both the Nike Open and Pantech Invitational, he used his motivation to stomp a clean and technical run and earn a score of 94.50.

He already had the win in his pocket when dropping in for his second lap through the course, and managed to improve upon..
