Real is in this to win and the guys find a stripper who skates, Brock gets inked, Brockel does a huge bar snap, and Jake Ruiz grinds one of the gnarliest 50-50s in KOTR history.

Generator races, jousting, kegboards, and a near disaster of blazing proportions all contributed to the midway madness in Sacramento.

Some teams fade as KOTR progresses, but Enjoi turns up the energy and weirdness. This is their best clip by far.

King of the Road is an institution in skateboarding. Started by Thrasher magazine in 2003, it's a demented, roving adventure that follows various skate teams across the country as they compete to accomplish a set list of tasks, some of which carry great risk of bodily harm, and others that don't involve skateboarding at all (but still might carry great risk of bodily harm).
