The men’s VQS qualifier competition was the first big competition for many, while it was just another competition of many for others. The 12 skateboarders in the qualifier made their way to the Rockstar Energy Open in Portland, Oregon, by entering the online Video Qualifier Series and allowing fans and our judges to be the ones to criticize them on their skills. Watch all the best moves that went down in the men’s street VQS qualifier above, featuring Ryan Carrell, Tyson Bowerbank, John Bradford, Mikey Ray, Nels Rosen, Sewa Kroetkov, Johnny Purcell, Gabe Vigliotti, Julian Christianson, Alex Lobasyuk, Josh Douglas, and Jake Ilardi.
