When the pandemic hit, thousands of sporting events were forced to suspend their 2020 edition. The same thing happened to the world's leading street skate circuit, the Street League Skateboarding, with all its scheduled stops.
But far from standing idly by, they launched a
new contest adapted to the complicated global situation and restrictions: Trick of the year.
The first edition of this contest had participants of a high level.
The best skaters in the world, in fact.
And all of them recorded their best tricks to try to win the $ 10,000 with which the prize is endowed.
Only one has emerged
victorious: Brandon Turner.
He has done it with an incredible Hardflip on the legendary Wallenberg in San Francisco (California, United States).

When you learn about Brandon's story, the stunt gains merit.
From the SLS they summarize it in a post: "Since he was a child prodigy who wanted to iron this trick 20 years ago, Brandon Turner has fallen from a bridge and has broken his right leg, he has been run over by a drunk driver who He has broken the other, the skull and has left him on life support for a year, he has been in jail, he has stopped drugs since 2016 and, at 38 years old, in 2020 he has achieved that trick he wanted so much. history books".
This
is how they presented the award in a surprise
prepared by the organization and the people of one of its sponsors, Sk8Mafia:
"Thank you all for your love. Thank you to all who support me.
It was a great surprise for me to win with the level that I had, a real honor,"
said Brandon Turner on his Instatgram after receiving the $ 10,000 prize.
Let's enjoy it!
