On October 22, 2011, an awesome celebration of both Sonic's 20th Anniversary and skateboarding was held at Sonic Generations of Skate, an all-ages event for Sonic and skating fans young and old, on Venice Beach, CA – the birthplace of skateboarding...

Click below to view a video recap of the event.



The legends of skateboarding competed in a completely unique team competition that celebrated three generations of vert skating! Each team consisted of one 1st generation, one 2nd generation and one 3rd generation vert skater competing together on the actual half-pipe from the X Games.

There were four different competitions where each pro battled it out for team points against skaters from their own generation. The contests included individual runs, high air, best trick and team doubles. Check out the winners below!
