No Comments

The Desert West Skatepark Plaza felt the 100-degree Phoenix heat on Sunday, but Lima, Peru’s Deyvid Tuesta Mota was not fazed and he fired off to win it all at Cowtown’s 24th Annual PHXAM presented by Vans. Skating at full speed with command of the entire park, Deyvid rattled off a nollie 270 board slide, nollie front boardslide and a nollie flip back lip all on the Rockstar 6-stair handrails during his best run to land $5,000 and a Golden Ticket to skate this summer at the third annual Rockstar Energy Open in Portland.

Malachi Gray had the goods to earn second to score $3,000, and Abner Pietro took home $1,000 for finishing third, respectively. Between Malachi putting down a kickflip front blunt down the handrail and making a massive kickflip transfer, and Abner nailing more flips in and out of his tricks than the rest of the field—their highlights alone were enough for an edit. Check out a lot more, though, from the likes of Koston Eaton, Kristion Jordan, Isaac Relis and everyone else that earned a spot in the 2026 PHXAM Men’s Final in this recap edit.
