Highland Showdown
Elliot Sloan has been on a roll with signature tricks, X-Games Megaramp victories, an insane recent video part… and now he just hosted an event at home which may as well be considered the best Vert event of the entire year. Thank you Elliot and Rockstar.

Highland ShowDown from Rockstar
On August 6th, eight-time X Games medalist Elliot Sloan opened his backyard playground for the first-ever Highland Showdown. With one of the gnarliest Vert ramp setups in the business, the Highland Showdown pitted skateboard vets against up-and-comers in a Vert showdown. The event featured 24 riders, including Elliot Sloan, Bucky Lasek, and Tristan Rennie throwing down on Sloan’s backyard skate paradise.
