Nearly everyone has Monday off, so why not throw a contest in the late afternoon on Sunday and have a good ol’ time celebrating Labor Day?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd better yet, the setting for the event couldn’t have been more interesting. It was a real movie set inside the Paramount Pictures compound on Melrose Blvd. in Hollywood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe way the Downtown Showdown works is that it’s a team vs. team contest. Here’s who was invited:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBirdhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eenjoi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlien Workshop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGirl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToy Machine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZero\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApparently Zero decided to opt out, claiming that they were road beaten and battered due to Thrasher’s King of the Road. That’s a pretty legit excuse considering they won it for the third year in a row. We’re not sure what happened with The Sect, but Heath Kirchart was still there to rip the Mini Mega Ramp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Format can actually be a bit confusing. Here’s the basic breakdown:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTeams can bring as many riders as they want.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly three skaters from each Team are permitted to skate each obstacle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTop two scores for each Team are averaged to get the Team's final score.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt least one Pro's score must be used in the final result, even if it is the lowest of the three scores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall Team results are calculated by adding each Team's individual obstacle place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf only one skater from a Team skates, the second score will be a zero, which will likely put the Team in last place. For best results, have at least two skaters on each obstacle, with at least one being pro.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlternates are permitted, but the removed skater will not be scored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Vans","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":49707389255958,"sku":"88126","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20232180534693scan.jpg?v=1738538240","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/vans-downtown-showdown-2006","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
