Foundation came out on top, with Angel Ramirez and Nick Merlino skating hard all night. Angel skated every obstacle as Foundation’s only pro. That hard work payed off with a nice little payday for Angel. Nick Merlino wound up with Top Am honors and Jani Laitiala killed it for Blind and took Top Pro Performance. You can see Sam Muller’s photos from the night here. Click on the thumbnails below to see videos from each obstacle.
